   The characters Jerri Blank and Principal Blackman got their names from the script, but in an unusual way. The script notes described the principal as a black man, and the writers had not yet come up with a surname for Jerri, so they left it blank ("Jerri _______"). These descriptions appealed to the writers, so they were used as the characters' actual names in the production.

That room inspired the writers to introduce the violent-student element in the episode "Bogie Nights," which features the Violent Students' Lounge. The scene in question required very little set decoration.
