- This is the pilot episode of "That's So Raven".
- While Eddie has the phonebook open in trying to look for zoo acts for Cory's party, he mentioned Sammy the Snakeman, Pythons on Parade and Lizards of Oz, Sammy the Snakeman can possibly be a parody of the children's book Sammy The Seal by Syd Hoff, Pythons on Parade can be a parody of the song Princesses on Parade from The Swan Princess and Lizards of Oz is likely a parody of The Wizard of Oz.

- Cory: No.
- Raven: Then why is there... (pulls out a slice of bologna) bologna in it?
- Eddie: Relax, Raven. My brother he says he hates me all the time.
- Raven: Eddie, your brother is only two. All he can say is "I hate you" and "I have poopy in my pants."
- Victor (to Raven about Cory): How come you always have to get in his face like that? You're his big sister. You should know better.
- Raven: Dad, this is part of the morning routine, okay? Take a bath, brush my teeth, fight with Cory, eat a muffin.
- Tanya: (to Raven) Honey, you remember Lucy Sherman? You two were the best of friends until third grade; then for some reason you started picking at each other.

- Tanya: You don't? Oh, gee, did I just make a point?
- Rick: Well, I'm all packed up. I'm glad your party worked out for you, little fella. Fanny's going to remember it. That's for sure. Now, all I need is my snake back.
- Cory: It's in the cage.
- Rick: What? That? Oh, no. That's the baby. I'm looking for its mama.
