I started doing it on the set as a joke. It just felt right with this character. So we started doing it intentionally. For all its silliness and good-natured fun, even this family comedy didn't go unscathed by the Sept. 11 attack. An opening scene had Max Keeble throwing a two-way pager toward the screen which was then supposed to erupt in a fireball effect.
Kids are impressionable.
