Trivia

The title is a variation of a quote from William Shakespeare's 'Romeo and Juliet:' "What's in a name? that which we call a rose, By any other name would smell as sweet."

Goofs

When the family plays at the end of the episode at a local venue, it is clearly the same stage and performance from an earlier episode (S1, E15) when they were playing in Europe - the exact same clip was recycled.
