Trivia:
This episode did not air in the U.S. It was reported that Cartoon Network pulled the episode due to threats of legal action from BET. Debra Leevil and Wedgie Rudlin are parodies of BET executives Debra Lee and Reginald Hudlin. Hudlin is credited as executive producer of the series but left during pre-production due to disagreements with creator Aaron McGruder. McGruder and his crew were not allowed to name Lee or Hudlin in the DVD commentary.See more »
