Trivia

  • Even though Timmy says that he has "an unlimited supply of magical wishes" after becoming a detective, he ends up resolving the mystery without a single wish. In fact, in the whole episode, Timmy makes only two wishes; to have something movie-related for his booth, and to be a detective.
  • This episode is one of Butch Hartman's top episode picks in the Timmy's Top Wishes DVD.
  • Chocolate City, Utah is Wanda's favorite place apparently since Cosmo put her there when she was apparently missing.
  • It reveals in this episode that Cosmo's clothes are dry clean only.
  • This is the first black-and-white episode of The Fairly OddParents. This would happen again in The "Good Old Days!".
  • This is the first (and possibly the only) time Timmy is seen wearing a trench coat.
  • When Timmy entered the gym, his Fishbowl is not in his hands or in the background (Note: it might be in a pocket inside his coat because he is seen putting it in there). It is then seen behind him (it could be that he secretly took it out of his coat)
  • Timmy broke the fourth wall when he slammed at the screen and said "sorry".
  • Cosmo doesn't like being alone. This is what exposes his plan at the end as he claimed to Timmy he will face Jorgen alone.

  • The title is a reference to Where's Waldo. It's also almost similar to Where's the Wand?, except in this episode, they find Wanda
  • This episode is done in film noir style, and is a parody of the films The Maltese Falcon and Casablanca.
  • A version of Superman is seen hanging out in the roof of the School.
  • Humphrey Bogart's famous last line from Casablanca ("Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship") was parodied by Timmy as " Cosmo, this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship".
  • When Timmy wishes to be a hard-boiled private eye, the word "NOIR" replaces "POOF!". Due to the plot, this episode may also be a parody of the CBS show Without a Trace. A second reference to film noir would occur during Meet the OddParents, when Timmy's parents and Jorgen Von Strangle pose as detectives.
  • When Timmy sees Trixie's plane fly, it is very similar to the real end scene of Casablanca film.
  • Real films are parodied or seen in this episode: Jaws (Timmy's choice for the movie night), Rocky Balboa (Francis' choice for the movie night), Casablanca (Trixie's choice for the movie night), Frankenstein (A.J.'s choice for the movie night), Speed (one of the movies in the movie night, Sam Spade: The Maltese Chicken (a parody of The Maltese Falcon), Star Warz (a parody of Star Wars), Titanic (one of the movies in the movie night), Gone with the Breeze (parody of Gone With The Wind), Kong (parody of King Kong), E.T. and Jurassic (a parody of Jurassic Park).
