Episode Goofs |
| |
The number of fingers in Timmy's hands both when he was an adult and a children keep switching between four and five during the whole episode.
| During the parody of the "Million Dollar Spin", Vicky got into the TV and pressed the forward button. However, the sign that appeared on screen was the rewind button.
| In the first episode of the series (without counting the Oh, Yeah! Cartoons episodes), Timmy wished to be an adult. He was obviously past his 40s, but he still remembered his godparents. However, in this episode, he completely forgot about them when he was only twenty-one.
