Notes and Trivia

• This episode marks the first appearance of Kelly Kapowski's father. Frank Kapowski. He returns later in Saved by the Bell: The College Years.
• This episode contains a blooper/continuity error. Kelly says to her father that there are 7 other people living in her house, besides her. Meaning 5 brothers and sisters, and her mother and father. In Cream for a Day, however, she stated she is one of seven children in the Kapowski family.
