Trivia
During the "Scary Door" episode at the top of the show, the main character exclaims that there is a gremlin on the wing of the plane. This is a parody of one of the most well-known episodes of The Twilight Zone: "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" (1963), in which a man (played by a young, pre-"Star Trek" William Shatner) newly recovered from a nervous breakdown, becomes convinced that a monster only he can see is damaging the plane in which he's flying. The episode was such a fan favorite that it was later remade for "The Twilight Zone: The Movie" (1983). The gremlin seen in "The Scary Door" looks exactly like the original monster from the 1963 episode, who was played by an actor wearing what looks like a comically bad gorilla costume, slightly altered to look like a more androgynous creature.

Goofs
When Leela picked up Lucy Liu's head it set off a pressure alarm. But when she moved Madeleine Albright's head to that spot to suppress the alarm, Madeleine's pressure alarm did not activate.
