Production
"Zero Worship" can be considered the first episode to address the issue of body imaging and its effect on young girls, which was the central theme in the "Be Ugly" campaign back in the series' first season.
The single Bow Wow and Omarion performed in this episode, "Hey Baby (Jump Off)", is the second single release from their collaboration set Face Off.
This episode was supposed to make its airing debut on January 3, 2008, but last minute schedule changes pushed its airing back a week.
This also marks the first episode to filmed without former series regular Alan Dale, while current regular Judith Light is absent from this one.

Famous quotes containing the word production:
“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)
“An art whose limits depend on a moving image, mass audience, and industrial production is bound to differ from an art whose limits depend on language, a limited audience, and individual creation. In short, the filmed novel, in spite of certain resemblances, will inevitably become a different artistic entity from the novel on which it is based.”
—George Bluestone, U.S. educator, critic. “The Limits of the Novel and the Limits of the Film,” Novels Into Film, Johns Hopkins Press (1957)
“The problem of culture is seldom grasped correctly. The goal of a culture is not the greatest possible happiness of a people, nor is it the unhindered development of all their talents; instead, culture shows itself in the correct proportion of these developments. Its aim points beyond earthly happiness: the production of great works is the aim of culture.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
