- How hard it was to animate the martini glasses that Bender has.
- How hard it was to animate the conveyor belts in that same scene.
- Some of the animation wasn't up to scratch.
- How they make fun of New Jersey and how they were the first to bash it.
- How brilliant Hattie is.
- How the episode resembles the odd couple.
- One of the designers was upset the nice chair was to be destroyed.
- Frames were cut from Amy's fall to make it quicker and more violent.

Highlights / Quotes
- Matt Groening: This show got off to a rough start Fox thought it was too out of space so this brought it back to Earth.
- Unknown: This is when we first see Calculon, a moment in television history.
- David X. Cohen: I'm not gonna go into the full answer of this question, but the nerdiest, computeriest viewers out there might want to look up Bender's apartment number in the ASCII chart.
- David X. Cohen: The New Jersey bashing begins, resuming in episode 9, probably a few other ones here and there. Episode 8 also.
- Matt Groening: Can I admit something? I have never seen the Odd Couple. I really, I haven't.
David X. Cohen: Oh really, you haven't? Well then we also made up that cigar joke that you're seeing.
