Trivia
When Mr. Brady is setting up the snowfall mechanism for the play, he is filling it with SAFE laundry detergent as snow. In season 3 ("And Now A Word From Our Sponsor"), the family was paid for their commercial with 2000 boxes of SAFE detergent, so it stands to reason that they have plenty of SAFE to spare.

Goofs
Miss Bailey incorrectly states that Benedict Arnold was wounded at the Battle of Saratoga. In reality, there was no single Battle of Saratoga. There were two battles: Freeman's Farm and Bemis Heights. Benedict Arnold was wounded at the battle of Bemis Heights on October 7, 1777. She also fails to mention that Arnold was also wounded at the Siege of Quebec two years earlier - in the same leg.

Benedict Brady

Peter tries out for the part of George Washington in the school play but is cast as Benedict Arnold instead.

A funny Peter episode, some good laughs in this one. After getting the role of Benedict Arnold, Peter's friends tease him and call him traitor. He tries a few ways of getting out of it but nothing works. A subplot has Jan doing the sets and special effects for the play, with help from Mike. Peter gets a funny death scene in the play.
