Trivia

 * How can Tommy forget about the girl he got his first kiss from so quickly? Olivia in "Fear of Falling".

 * This is Minka's only appearance on the show.
 * Kimi, Angelica, and Susie are absent in this episode.
 * Chronologically speaking, this episode takes place before the events of "R.V. Having Fun Yet?".
 * This is the last appearance of Minka Kropotkin in the All Grown Up! series.
 * It revealed in this episode that Boris and Minka celebrate their 52nd anniversary, which means that they got married in 1949-early 1950's, if you consider that the episode took place in 2001-2002. Boris says that after he left the Old-Country for New York, where he found Minka, five years had passed until they got married, which means that they first met each other in 1945, so they were already to their 28's (Minka) and 29's (Boris).
 * Dil creates his own religion known as "Dil Pickleism".
 * This is the only All Grown Up! episode to air in 2006.
 * Ending Tagline: "You know Super Monkey Pummel 6? That's mine."
