Actor Peter Billingsley,who played Ralphie in the holiday film "A Christmas Story"(1983)guest stars as a busboy. The narration in this show was inspired by the fact that the aforementioned film had a narrator reflecting on his childhood throughout,as is also the case in this series,except Kevin starts out as an adolescent and grows into young teenhood here. Incidentally Daniel Stern,who provides the voice of the adult Kevin narrating in this show,would play Ralphie's father "Old Man" Parker in the 2012 sequel to "A Christmas Story"(1983),"A Christmas Story 2".
