Trivia[]
- Mrs. Rene, Cowboy Curtis, Reba, and Miss Yvonne visit in this episode.
- This episode marked the last time that Pee-Wee's exercise belt speaks.
- When the gang is playing store, Herman decides to name the department store Herman's Department Store, once again making the implication that "Pee-Wee" is a nickname rather than a first name. This would be referenced again in Dr. Pee Wee and the Del Rubios and Chairry-Tee Drive later on.
- The Picturephone is used as a pretend elevator when Store is being played. It is revealed that up to three people can enter it despite there being only one seat.
- Feature Cartoon: Makin' Em Move (1931).
- The secret word was said and screamed 14 times, except in the beginning, when the word "More" was said by Conky seven times in the reveal when he is telling Pee-wee it is the Secret Word before he prints it out.
- Cowboy Curtis is the second character in the show to play the guitar. The first character that did this was Conky in Just Another Day.
- First time someone other than Pee-wee goes in the Magic Screen.
- This is the first time a Penny cartoon is shown before The King of Cartoons shows a cartoon.
