    • Trivia

    • Goofs
      Multiple times throughout the series, the fictional video sharing service the cast watches and views is referred to and shown as "Your Face in a Tube". However when Wendy is in the Middleman office, speaking on the phone with her mother, she distinctly says "Please, do not go on YouTube today...or ever". YouTube is never shown or mentioned anywhere else in the entire series, only the fictional site that is styled after it.
