- At one point, Mr. Sprocket proposes making "Baby Garfield" as part of "the newest trend in cartoon shows". This alludes to "baby/child versions" of classic characters, such as Muppet Babies (which was mentioned in a previous episode), Tom and Jerry Kids, and A Pup Named Scooby-Doo (which had been made around the time of the series).
- Coincidentally, there is a line of merchandise featuring baby versions of Garfield.
