Behind the scenes

 * The episode title is a reference to the Scholastic book series The Baby-Sitters Club.
 * Smarmaduke is a not-very-subtle parody of Marmaduke.
 * Townsville has its own Heidelberg for some reason.
 * There is a foreshadowing of Bliss in one of the newspaper scenes, who is officially revealed in "Find Your Bliss" as the older teen sister of the Powerpuff Girls.
 * For no reason whatsoever, the names of Poodles Canoodles and the Butt Sniffer have been changed to Frenchy and Bootius T. Sniffer in "In the Doghouse."
 * Al Cacone does not return in "In the Doghouse."
