Behind the scenes

  • Ronald is the third in his family to be given the name.
  • This episode reveals Spike's surname.
  • Betty seems to sum it up best on why Kelly is always hanging around the group, because they can never find a babysitter (and apparently has no friends her own age), but that still doesn't explain why Benjy is always in the group.

Errors

  • In "Junkyard Hijinks," the junkyard at the Yancy Street Gang's headquarters was turned into a park, but is now back to being a junkyard again.
