Behind the scenes

 * When Clancy knocks Spike to the ground and falls on top of him, Spike reacts grumbles in angry gibberish like Muttley.

Errors

 * Like it made sense for the past half a dozen episodes, Miss Twilly travels to the dude ranch in Ronald's car with the rest of the gang.

==Critical reception=

Home availability

 * Warner Bros. owns the show, while Disney owns the characters, making it difficult to release this episode onto DVD.
