TriviaEdit

• This episode was inspired by a historical tour of Philadelphia that the cast went on.
• Mac owns the unsleeved T-shirt with a picture of the Liberty Bell on it. ("Charlie Wants an Abortion")
• Charlie is pretty sure what American Revolution was happened in 1412 - i.e. even before Columbus discovered America.
• The scene of Col. Cricket getting his head blown off was inspired by the exploding head scene in the movie Scanners.
• Charles and Franklin mock the sleeping situation of the Native American father and son they go to visit, saying that the fact they must sleep on the same bearskin means they are "losers".  Because, obviously, a fold-out couch is much better.  (See especially Who Pooped the Bed?  for a vivid illustration of Charlie and Frank's own sleeping situation.)
