Trivia

 * This episode premiered on November 22, 2014.
 * This episode scored 2.13 million viewers.
 * This episode could be a reference to Victorious' reality show, "The Wood".
 * The same staff that was used for The Wood, was the same staff for this reality show.
 * This basically confirms that The Gang takes place in the Dan Schneider Universe with hit shows such as: Victorious, iCarly, Sam & Cat, Zoey 101, Drake & Josh, Henry Danger, and eventually, Game Shakers, The Slumping Team, and David & Jason.
 * Though it is a Dan Schneider show, this is the first piece of evidence that confirms that this is in the universe.
 * It will eventually be cemented, as Henry Danger (who had Herb and Goomer, recurring characters from Sam & Cat, reprising their roles on Henry Danger), and The Gang had a small crossover in Season 4, which meant that Game Shakers, and The Gang are in the same universe, due to the crossover special, Danger Games.
 * David & Jason premiered in 2017, but is in the same universe automatically as it's a spinoff of Drake & Josh, which is linked with Victorious (due to Helen reprising her role), which is in the same universe as The Gang.
 * The Gang, and David & Jason had a crossover spinoff eventually in 2020, called Z Joint Academy, which cements that in the same universe.
 * The Slumping Team crossed over with Henry Danger, which makes The Slumping Team in same universe with the other Schneider shows.
