Trivia

• The premise of this episode is similar to Cat-Astrophe: Catman mistakes the new main character of the season with a character from his show (Sparky: Dogman, Chloe: Catgirl), and in both episodes he thinks Timmy is in trouble.
• Timmy does not refer to Catman as Adam West but as "just some crazy actor" (This coincides with Jeff Bennett replacing Adam West as Catman's voice).
• Timmy doesn't wear his regular outfit in this episode. Instead, he wears the clothes that he wore in Farm Pit, except that he is barefoot.
• This is the first episode in which Chloe wears different clothes.
• This is the first episode in which Chloe mentioned one of her family members (her uncle).
• This is the first episode since Gone Flushin' that is not a 30 minute special.
• This is the first episode since The Fairy Beginning to not feature Foop.
• This is the twelfth episode since his introduction in Fairly Odd Baby in which Poof does not appear.

Allusions

• Batman - The Whittler is a parody of the Batman villain, the Riddler.
• Batgirl - Catgirl is a nod to Batman's fellow crimefighter/sometime partner Batgirl.
  • Tara Strong (Timmy) has voiced Batgirl/Barbara Gordon in two different incarnations of Batman.

Running Gags

• Cosmo trying to whittle a simple heart with his and Wanda's initials, but ending up with increasingly elaborate designs instead.
• Chloe trying to call for help, but failing.
• Mr. Turner complains about his monkey, Chaz.
• Timmy playing his video game.

Continuity & Easter Eggs

• Chloe mistakenly says "I wish" twice in this episode, signifying this canonically takes place shortly after The Big Fairy Share Scare!.
• Mr. Turner bought his monkey Chaz and a jetpack with the wealth he got from Chloe's stock pick in The Big Fairy Share Scare.
• Timmy mentions Catman writing a script for a TV show he's pitching called "Nuts and Dangerous", this joke becomes the plot of a later episode in the season.
• Mr. Turner knowing Denzel Crocker as "The Falcon" is a reference to the Season 9 episode, Lame Ducks where they were both in a Dimmsdale Neighborhood Watch together and Mr. Crocker wished to be referenced by that name.
• This is the second episode after App Trap where Timmy has a smartphone and gets addicted to it.
• This is the second time Mr. Turner throws money on his problems. The first was Poltergeeks.
• This episode takes place on the same day as Apartnership! but only in a different year.
• Even though it's never actually mentioned in the episode, this is also the anniversary of Timmy's parents, because in Apartnership!, Cosmo and Wanda's anniversary is on the same day as Timmy's parents' anniversary.
• Timmy's parents have also had anniversaries during Birthday Bashed! and Dust Busters.

Goofs

• Wanda said that Cosmo always forgets their anniversary, but in Apartnership!, he remembered their anniversary, and he even gave her a present.
  • Still, in Apartnership!, he technically forgot what kind of anniversary he was supposed to be celebrating.
• The picture of Chloe on Timmy's smartphone has her front hair bang colored purple like her bow and headband.
• When Cosmo was talking about what it took to make a gift for Wanda, he’s in a Wood Whillthing costume, but in the next shot with him, hes in his regular clothes.
