Kyo Heyerdahl (Phoebe's father) - George Takei
Reba Heyerdahl (Phoebe's mother) - Jean Smart
Lunch lady - Danica Ivancevic
- The award Phoebe receives
spells her last name "Heyerdahl", although an earlier
episode spelled it "Hyerdahl" on her school record.
- Speaking of the award, it
says that Phoebe received it in July and August...when the
school is closed for the summer.
- Phoebe hasn't missed a
school day in years? Not even when she broke her leg
in "Phoebe Breaks A Leg"?
- In the scene with
everybody in Phoebe's house, it almost looks like Phoebe's
mother is in a wheelchair, but if you look closely, the
"wheels" on the chair are only half-wheels - it's just the
way the wooden chair is designed. (Besides, she could
walk just fine in "Parents Day" and "Phoebe Cheats".)

Cast:
Arnold - Spencer Klein
Grandpa, Jolly Olly Ice Cream man, Ivana, Marv - Dan
Castellaneta
Grandma, car show announcer - Tress MacNeille
Ned (radio DJ), policeman - Craig Bartlett
Vic, Morrie - John Mariano
Leichliter - Tim Curry
Rex Smythe-Higgins - Tony Jay
- If the name Ivana
Divanacevic sounds familiar: Danica Ivancevic is a writer (and
occasional voice) on the show.
- Even at the car show,
Grandpa is called "Steely Phil".
- Leichliter is right; the
entire "Ring of the Nieblung" series (four operas) lasts about
17 hours! (Actually, these are some of the longest
operas regularly performed; most last less than three hours.)
- There were a number of
references to detective stories:
- Grandma was "Spade" - Sam
Spade was a private detective, best known for The Maltese
Falcon.
- Arnold was "Marlowe" -
Philip Marlowe was another private detetive, probably best
known for The Big Sleep.
- Grandma carried around a
lollipop, a reference to the TV series Kojak.
- The two streets mentioned
were Hammett Avenue and Chandler Street; authors Dashell
Hammett and Raymond Chandler created Spade and Marlowe,
respectively.
- Also, Marv of "Marv's
Scarves" looked and sounded like actor Peter Lorre, who was in
the movie version of The Maltese Falcon that starred
Humphrey Bogart as Sam Spade. (In the Bogart version of
The Big Sleep, two of the characters are named Peter
and Sidney, named for Lorre and Sydney Greenstreet, who
usually appeared together in Bogart films.)
