Trivia[]
- In this episode, Carmen Sandiego maliciously misnames ACME Crimenet "ACME Slimenet." In Season 2 of Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego?, the time pilots periodically get sucked into a parallel universe where they're part of an evil corporation called "ACME Slimenet."
- One of the clues is provided by Chris Burke in character as Corky Thatcher from Life Goes On.
- At one point, the Chief says they are in violation of the "Hand Puppet Clause" because other PBS shows had hand puppets. This is a cheeky reference to other children's programming on PBS such as Sesame Street and Mister Rogers' Neighborhood that used puppetry.
