Trivia
- This is the first appearance of Grandma Gladys and Grandpa Vlad.
- Mrs. Turner's parents are revealed in this episode.
- When it comes to physical appearances, Timmy's revealed to take after his maternal grandfather (as Vlad looks kind of like an elderly version of Timmy) while Mrs. Turner takes after her mother (as Gladys loos like an older version of Mrs. Turner). When Vlad and Gladys were younger, Vlad is shown with brown hair while Gladys appears to be a redhead, showing the Mrs. Turner got her hair color from her dad.
- Timmy's maternal grandparents are extremely wealthy, meaning that Timmy's mother might inherit the fortune and pass onto Timmy.
- Ustinkistan fairies can only grant wishes involving turnips.
- Even though Ustinkistan fairies can only grant wishes involving turnips, Cosmo and Wanda are able to poof up normal pajamas when it turns to nighttime, suggesting that Ustinkistan fairies can poof up something like nightwear even if it doesn't involve turnips. It's also possible that the pajamas could've been made from a turnip-based fabric.
- Ustinkistan looks the same in the present and 50 years into the past, causing Wanda to claim that "not much changes in Ustinkistan."
- Vlad and Gladys are similar to Mama Cosma and Big Daddy in that they don't like who their children married (Mama Cosma doesn't like Wanda, Big Daddy doesn't like Cosmo and Mrs. Turner's parents don't like Mr. Turner).
- At the beginning of the episode, when Mrs. Turner informs her son that her parents are coming to visit for Yaksgiving, Timmy notes that he hasn't seen his maternal grandparents in a really long time -- it's possible that (at least part of) the reason that Timmy doesn't see his mom's parents that much is because of their dislike for their son-in-law.
- When Nicktoons Europe stopped airing the series on November 6, 2022, this was the last episode broadcast.
Allusions
- Harry Potter - The title could be a reference to the device "Time Turner" which is a time travel machine that appears in the book, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
- As well, as the fact that Timmy time-traveled in this episode could be an inspiration for the title.
- The Simpsons - Grandpa Vlad says "Release the hounds!", which is one of Mr. Burns catchphrases.
- Jack in the Box - The restaurant Grandpa Vlad and Grandma Gladys owns "Yak in the Box" is an obvious spoof of the restaurant, Jack in the Box.
- Bon Scott - If you look carefully at the suitcase, you see the words "Bon Scott" which refers to AC/DC singer.
- Danny Phantom - Grandpa Vlad's name could be taken from Danny Phantom's enemy, Vlad Plasmius.
- Christmas and Thanksgiving - Two traditional Ustinkistan holidays mentioned were Yaksgiving and Yaksmas, which are references to the famous traditional holidays.
- The Ren & Stimpy Show - Yaksmas was previously referenced and celebrated in the short, A Scooter for Yaksmas.
- Ustinkistan - The name of the country is the pun of the country of the same name, and similarly named ones, like Pakistan.
Goofs
- If Timmy wished that his grandparents never came to America, then he shouldn't have been born, unless Timmy's own parents had met some other way without his grandparents immigrating to America.
- After Timmy made the wish and changed its habitat, he wanted to go home. Wanda told him that fairies from Ustinkstan can only grant wishes that include turnips but when it gets dark (that lasts almost a year), Cosmo, Wanda and Poof put on their pajamas, and they seem normal.
Running Gags
- Mrs. Turner's parents giving their son-in-law sacks full of weasels (at the end they give him a sack of badgers).
- Turnips are constantly seen/mentioned.
- Someone getting slapped with a fish while the other character says Ustinky!
