-- DYNs --

[?]

• Notice how in the ``Famous Sibling Relationships'' sequence Clarissa and Ferguson play two brothers (Cain and Abel), a brother and sister (Hansel and Gretel), and two (step-)sisters (Cinderella and her step-sister)? Interesting symmetry there...
• The ``L''-against-the-forehead ``loser'' thing Jill does in this episode was also used in at least one episode of the Nickelodeon show Roundhouse.
• Clarissa and Ferguson cooperate in this episode to try and win a car and then to get rid of Jill. See DYN: Various lists for other instances of them cooperating.
• This is the first time Clarissa ``baby-talks'', saying, ``Ferguson, that means Mickey's little hand is on the one.'' See DYN: Various lists for other examples of ``baby-talk'' in CEIA.
• Aunt Doherny appears in the opening scene of this episode. See DYN: Other connections between episodes for a list of her other appearances.
• What cartoon is Ferguson watching in the ``gift-giving'' scene? It's not Ren & Stimpy, which was used (audio only) in ``Revenge'' (#101) and ``No T.V.'' (#103).
