Production Notes
- The series was originally called Scrambled Squares. At some point between Episode #136 (June 20, 2005) and Episode #200 (January 22, 2007), the logo was redesigned to switch the "C" and "Q", becoming Sqrambled Scuares; the switched letters are, in their new positions, somewhat dislodged.
- The first Boone episode (September 2, 2002) had Jamie Vines playing against Andrew Puckett; Puckett won, 290-230.
- Host Buzz Berry has only missed one show – the February 20, 2006 episode (#168); Christopher Wilkinson filled in for him. Berry thanked Wilkinson, among many others, during the 400th episode in 2009.
- The first contestant to be brought back was Brandon Lewter; on his first appearance (June 27, 2005), he lost to Cindy Lilly by 70-440. He was brought back three weeks later on July 11 and won the game.

Famous quotes containing the words production and/or notes:
“The growing of food and the growing of children are both vital to the family’s survival.... Who would dare make the judgment that holding your youngest baby on your lap is less important than weeding a few more yards in the maize field? Yet this is the judgment our society makes constantly. Production of autos, canned soup, advertising copy is important. Housework—cleaning, feeding, and caring—is unimportant.”
—Debbie Taylor (20th century)
“I am thankful for small mercies. I compared notes with one of my friends who expects everything of the universe, and is disappointed when anything is less than best, and I found that I begin at the other extreme, expecting nothing, and am always full of thanks for moderate goods.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
