Filming

Behind the scenes

 * HBO Max lists this as a season two episode.
 * The opening theme gag is of Mildew tripping over a fire hydrant.
 * Kabong Scouts are a parody of the Girl/Boy Scouts in real life.
 * Scare Bear was Yogi's partner in Yogi's Space Race and Galaxy Goof-Ups.
 * Peter's pilot license gives his middle name initial as "V."
 * The air sirens bear a resemblance to the the parents and daughter of the Holiday family in the TV series The Roman Holidays.
 * Lotta Litter, Mr. Smog, the Gossipy Witch and Captain Swipe were villains in the TV series Yogi's Gang.
 * El Kabong sits next to Bobbie Louie at the bus station without a single word, which is a reference to their patnership/friendship in the Quick Draw McGraw, albeit with a male version of Bobbie Louie called Baba Looey.
