- Kevin McHale would replace Richard Kiel, who could not be physical, as a big, tall, scary guy.
- Kiel's "you can count on me" line is defended as one of the most quoted.
- Betty White is proposed as grandma, since a known actress was needed; Jessica Tandy had already died.
- Another participant would recast nothing, and grandma wins her performance in the nasty happy place.
- Julie Bowen reportedly said a cut part had her making out with a dwarf.
