Trivia
Hattie repeatedly sang or hummed the song Wade in the Water. Harriet Tubman sang this spiritual as a warning to runaway slaves. To escaping slaves, the song told them to abandon the path and move into the water. By traveling along the water's edge or across a body of water, the slaves would throw chasing dogs and their keepers off the scent. This song was better explained in a later episode of this series.

Goofs
When Philip comes home from work and talks about the award, Hillary is excited that she's going to get 2 new dresses for the interview and the awards ceremony. But, during the interview scene, Hillary isn't wearing a new dress. She isn't even wearing a dress at all. Despite the fact the Banks' don't end up getting their picture taken during the interview, Hillary didn't know that until the reporter arrived. Uncle Phil told her that she could have a new dress before the reporter arrived.

Quotes
Hattie Banks: Back home my Zeke loved our swimming hole. He'd strip down to his birthday suit and jump right in.
Will Smith: Granny, please, it's almost dinner time.
Hattie Banks: [laughs] He'd be in there swimming with Melvin all the time.
Philip Banks: Uh, Mama, I don't think anybody wants to hear about Melvin.
Carlton Banks: Au contraire, Dad, the Melvin stories are classic.
Will Smith: So Melvin was like your best friend?
Hilary Banks: Melvin was his pig.
