      • When the Cluster Ambassador describes "Cluster Prime" to Jenny, a clip is shown with a robot saying "Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto, Domo Arigato.", which is a reference to the popular 80s song "Mr.Roboto" by Styx.
  • Episode 4 (8/22/2003)
    • Ear No Evil
      Jenny wants to get her ears pierced, and it would really help if she had ears at all. Sheldon offers to build her some ears, but someone should have told him that "size does matter". Now, as a result, Jenny's got a pair of ears that could put Dumbo to shame.

But what happens when the exo-skin refuses to let Jenny take it off will result in big trouble.

    • Last Action Zero

      • The Teen Team (in Teen Team Time) is modeled after the Teen Titans. Orion resemebles Cyborg, Squish resemebles Beast Boy, and Misty is sort of a cross between Raven and Jinx.

    • Armagedroid
      Armagedroid, once a powerful global protector before he went rogue, has returned.

      • This episode shows that Dr. Wakeman was once a heroic member of the Skyway Patrol, and built the XJ robots to replace Armagedroid.

    • Victim of Fashion
      Not to be out done by each other, a fashion war erupts between Jenny and the Krust Cousins. Jenny had better be careful, though, for fashion can be quite costly in the end.
      • When Tuck appears in his exosuit to rescue Jenny from the Space Bikers, he says, "Get away from her, you fish!", in homage to Sigourney Weaver's famous scene from Aliens, when she appears wearing a powerloader and says, "Get away from her, you bitch!"

      Due to internal disputes, the Teen Team has broken up. With no place left to go, Misty heads back to Earth to be with Jenny.
