  • Shipping: This is the episode that blew up Numbuh 3×Numbuh 4, a dynamic that would end up very popular and frequent in subsequent episodes.
  • Unintentional Period Piece: Just a couple of years after the episode's premiere, Take Your Daughter to Work Day was changed to Take Your Children to Work Day so that sons could be included.
  • Values Resonance: While most of the show's plots rely on blowing childhood fears and prejudices out of proportion (and thus seem sillier and sillier as the viewer gets older), this episode is one of the very few where the Evil Plan is about exploiting other adults, with the kids as only means to an end. Sure, blasting them all off to Pluto is cartoonishly over-the-top, but the basic idea of a Corrupt Corporate Executive screwing around with his employees' family time so they'll work even longer hours seems more and more plausible in light of all the horror stories about how corporations like Amazon treat their workers.
