General[]
- Moral: Don't be afraid to try new things.
- The episode revealed Bill's finger was permanently severed by a hay baler.
- At one point, Cricket attempts to get around through a manhole, but sees an alligator. This is based on the longtime legend where pet alligators are flushed through the sewers of New York City.
- This is the second episode where Gramma has a minor role.
- Gramma mentions the episode title at the end when she says the last line: "Oh, welcome home."
- During the move, Phoenix is strangely not seen with the Greens despite going to live with Gramma. This suggests Gramma took Phoenix some time before the move. "Dirt Jar" reveals a blue truck took the animals to Gramma's house.
- Certain scenes of the Kludge were animated with CGI, such as when it gets halted by the traffic cop and Bill is starting it to get out of the junkyard.
Production[]
- Chris Houghton has noted this episode was the first in chronological order; chronologically, "Space Chicken", which was actually produced as the pilot episode, would be the second.
- This episode was originally intended to air first, but ended up as the 15th episode. Both episodes are paired on Disney+.
- For continuity purposes, the wiki considers "Welcome Home" to be the first episode chronologically.
- It remains debatable on whether Disney Channel should have aired this episode first before airing "Space Chicken" as it would’ve have prevented the continuity for being out of place.
- Despite being the 15th episode aired, it is the first produced episode of the show (carrying the production code 415c-101) and intended pilot in chronological order, though "Space Chicken", the second produced episode of the show (with the production code 415c-102), was the first episode of the series to air, as a "pilot".
- However, according to the series' creators, "Space Chicken" was the first episode to be produced as a pilot around 2014 to 2015, when the series was known as Country Club, and "Welcome Home" might have been produced much later.
