    • Trivia
      As Melissa Joan Hart never had time to attend school functions like a normal teenager, the cast and crew of the show held a personal graduation ceremony for her. She was given a diploma for 'Nickelodeon High School', named valedictorian of one and voted "most likely to have her own series".
    • Quotes
      • [repeated line]
      • Clarissa Darling: [a thunking sound is heard, and a ladder appears at Clarissa's window] Hi, Sam!
      • [Sam climbs the ladder, and the sound of a bluesy guitar strumming a chord is heard]
    • Crazy credits
      After the end credits, we see the view of Nickelodeon Studios with the announcement "Clarissa Explains It All was taped at Nickelodeon Studios, at Universal Studios and Orlando, Florida".
