<!-- Make some notes on what was discussed, attempt to group topics.
*[[Kif Kroker|Kif]] and [[Amy Wong|Amy]]'s relationship wasn't pre planed
Format Example:
*[[Wes Archer|Wes]]' first episode.
*Attempted to insert secrets into the episode to set up the future episodes and plan to point them out in the commentary.
*[[Matt Groening|Matt]] suggested having the angry dome visible
**Secrets included the Nibbler shadow, at several other points the group randomly said "Secret!" despite nothing important being on screen.
*The writers thought jumping out of pants was something that happened often in ''Casper'', but it wasn't. So [[Lee Supercinski]], a post production supervisor, had to look through hours of footage.
*Simultanious countdown is a stretch.
*The Ship-to-ship intimacy animation is a reference to James Bond film ''Moonraker''.

*Kif now has more pictures of Amy in his quarters.
*Similarity between the [[Holo-Shed]] and ''Star Trek'''s holo-deck.
**Likewise there's a similar doctor to Bones named Veins, and a sign referring to a [[Wikipedia:Horta (Star Trek)|Horta]], which is apparently also from ''Trek''.
*Whether the moon was a reused model or not.
*The term [[Smizmar]].
*Bender is in the locker because the room is so small, explaining it in the episode wasn't as interesting as just putting him in there.
*Spinning rides at carnivals.
*There was a debate about whether Amy should be the biological parent, this way she is only really abandoning her relationship (briefly), not her children as well.
*Pointing out the jokes on the [[Kif_Gets_Knocked_Up_a_Notch#Items_on_Amy.27s_Calendar|Calendar]].
*Crowd scene dialogue is often not written in detail and the actors just say random things. [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] mentioning his face being stuck in pizza is an example of this.
*Kif often shakes.
*[[Billy West|Billy]] did make [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg|Zoidberg]]'s crying noise.
*[[Scruffy]]'s jokes take three times as long as most other jokes.
*The content written for [[Amphibios 9]] was enough for an entire additional episode, Kif visited the tree where he grew up, met his old neighbours, saw his family and all his old friends, he needed to get instructions for the quest to the birthing grounds, there was a river and they needed to collect three items in the forest including an egg from the top of a mountain for the tea.
*Footage of the birthing process.
*Took a cheap way out by making the children not need to be taken care of.
**Though it could be a spin-off.

Format Example:
 
*'''David X. Cohen''': That's my parent's home address "405". It's a different street, but that's where the number came from.<br/>[laughter]<br/>'''Matt Groening''': Wow! Everything is of significance.
*'''Unknown''': I think this is the first time we see Leela.
