- This is the last episode where Cleveland Jr. has any speaking lines. He would later appear redesigned, overweight, and 14 years old with all hyperactivity gone in The Cleveland Show.

- When Chris, Meg, Peter, and Brian talk at the same time, they stop talking and then say 'Ruth Bader Ginsburg' to try and trick each other. It doesn’t work.
- Stewie uses Brian’s books to create papier-mâché replicas of the houseboat from the 1960s campy detective show Surfside 6 and the fort from the post-Civil War-era sitcom F Troop, another 1960s show.
- Stewie mentions that one of Brian’s books is by Russian writer Fyodor Dostoevsky. Brian will be seen reading Dostoevsky in "Ready, Willing, and Disabled".
- When Cleveland Jr. plays with a stick he says "I’m Daniel Boone," an American pioneer. When the stick breaks in half he says "Now I’m Pat Boone. Gonna have a Christmas special with Andy Williams." Pat Boone and Andy Williams are both pop singers who reached their commercial peaks in the 1950s.

- Lois brings Brian some of Peter’s books, which include Mr. T by Mr. T, an autobiography of The A-Team star; T and Me by George Peppard, an actor who co-starred with Mr. T on The A-Team and For the Last Time, I’m Not Mr. T by Ving Rhames, an African-American actor with a physique like that of Mr. T. With the exception of Mr. T by Mr. T, all of these books are fictitious.
- When encouraging himself to fight his perceived illness, Stewie tells himself "do not go gentle into that good night." He first attributes the quote to singer-songwriter Bob Dylan but then corrects himself; it was written by poet Dylan Thomas.

- The beginning where the family watches Little House on the Prairie with the entire family playing pranks on their blind daughter is cut from the censored versions.
