Behind the scenes

 * Despite this being the first episode, this is not the first Laff-a-Lympics, and it's unclear how long they've been going for.
 * This episode would be the last time Alan Reed would be voicing Fred Flintstone before his death. Henry Corden took on the rest of the voices of Fred Flintstone in later appearances.

Errors

 * Huckleberry Hound appears in the Yogis crowd just after performing in the skiing contest.
 * Augie Doggie disappears after the toboggan race starts and is replaced by Wally Gator.
 * Doggie Daddy, however is mistakenly designed to look like Augie at least, until they flip upside down on their heads.
 * Dynomutt appears in the Scoobys crowd cheering after his performance on the Swiss Ice Palace's ice rink.
