    • Trivia
      The brand of cigarettes that Mrs. Martinez smokes, Morley, is not a real brand, but it has been a popular fake cigarette brand in TV shows and movies since 1960, when it appeared in Alfred Hitchcock's movie Psycho (1960). Perhaps its best-known use was as the brand preferred by the "Cigarette Smoking Man" on The X-Files (1993).
    • Crazy credits
      Season 2 episode "The Battle for Red Hook" has an extended animated opening credit sequence.

    Everyone is right... the kid

    Everyone is so right about the kid. The kid from the first season is okay but the new kid actor they got after him ruined the show!! He's a terrible actor i'm sorry :(
