Behind the scenes

Errors

  • There are times when Ms. Bellum's face isn't being hidden by the hot air balloon because only the shoulders of Ms. Bellum have been drawn.
  • The girls have a drawing of a hand turkey, despite the fact none of them have any fingers.

Everlasting influence

  • Despite giving up the hot air balloon, the Mayor flies around in it in the background of "Members Only," although this could be taken as a mistake.
