 * Nodoka: What I'm saying is, uh, that the phrase "steampunk" was first used in 1987, but it's now also used for works from the 50s or earlier. And uh, the

Trivia

 * As said above, this is the first showtape with Nodoka Manabe as a guest star, replacing Billy Bob. Looney Bird and the Smitty's Super Service Station setting are unchanged in order to make jokes at ShowBiz's laziness.
