Episode Goofs |
| |
Terry appears in this episode but in Hall Monster, Miss Fowl said he moved.
| If Jimmy is the pitcher for his team how could he be the first batter as well?
| At one time, Butch's team is called Butch's Butchers, then the scoreboard changes to Grapeland Ducks and then Texywood Hawks.
| When Jimmy sent the acorn into the Metabolic Accelerator it turned into a tree which stayed in the lab. So how comes the next day the tree wasn't in the lab.
| In Aaughh!! Wilderness!! Hugh and Judy's car was blue, but in this episode it's white.

Analysis |
| |
At the beginning of The Retroville 9, the take me out to the ball game theme song was played. This is one done do to the fact that the episode is about baseball.
| At the beginning of Grumpy Young Men, a stick man using a walking stick to walk was used. This is probably done due to the fact that Jimmy, Carl and Sheen turn into old men during the course of this episode.
