Goofs:

Factual errors: When Tim is speaking to Wilson about his stereo, he describes 20 megahertz pounding through his body. The pounding effect of a stereo comes from very low frequencies; 20 megahertz is a frequency so high that it is inaudible to human ears. A frequency of 20 hertz would have been a more appropriate choice.

Quotes:

[Janeen Rae Heller has been invited on Tool Time to play the saw]
Janeen Rae Heller:Any requests?
Al Borland:I have one. It's from my favorite movie.
Tim Taylor:Do you know the theme to Dumbo?
Al Borland:Tim, that's my favorite movie about an elephant.
