Allusions
- When LeVar Burton's unlicensed hologram is first introduced, he is seen wearing the visor he wore as Geordie La Forge on Star Trek: The Next Generation.
- Burton's role as host parodies his previous role as the host of the PBS program Reading Rainbow.
- Each story pays tribute to different works of children's mystery books:
- The first story pays tribute to the works of Edward Stratemeyer, the creator of Nancy Drew, the Hardy Boys, and Tom Swift.
- The second story parodies The Adventures of Tintin graphic novels written by Hergé.
- The third story parodies Encyclopedia Brown.
- Burton concludes the program by saying, "Remember, in space, no one can hear you read", a parody of the tagline for the first Alien film, "In space, no one can hear you scream".
