## Trivia/Notes

* This is the very first Valentine's Day Special in the J&F franchise (except for Jared, Jovana, & the Lover Weed, but technically it isn't really considered a full-on Valentine's Day special)
* The card Jared makes for Isabela was based off of Raven's card from the That's So Raven Season 2 episode, Hearts & Minds
* This episode shows Jared still has feelings for Maddy
* The big tires the Magic School Bus acquires are similar to Meets the Rot Squad
* This is the second time Jared & Maddy kiss, even though she kissed him on the cheek
* This was featured on many DVDs, most notably the Mission: Maddy Saga and the DVD with the same name
* The recording for Best of Friends is from the Perfectly Platinum CD, but it has Jared and Maddy's voices, dubbing Baby Bop and Amorita's voices, as well as Barney's vocals. This version was used in the J&F soundtrack
* This episode, along with Generation: Jared and a few others, like A Real World Girl for Jared & The Good, The Bad, & The Maddy, prove that Maddy might have a crush on Jared
* There was originally a funny subplot involving Jace and Monique but it was scrapped, as it didn't make any sense for many reasons
* The rendition used for I Love You uses the usual Season 4-6 style but to fit the Valentine feel of the episode, it is also mixed in with the rendition from Be My Valentine, Love Barney
