Errors

 * Bea Benaderet is not credited; due to this, the book The Flintstones: A Modern Stone Age Phenomenon also erroneously leaves her out of the episode guide.

Everlasting influence

 * In the Sabrina the Teenage Witch episode "The Competition," Hilda taught Amanda an incantation by saying "Double, double, boil and trouble. Dress the cat like Barney Rubble." A generic cloth then proceeded to magically appear around Salem, who then remarked that he looked better than John Goodman, who actually played Fred, not Barney, as Barney was played by Rick Moranis. A few moments later after Amanda zaps Hilda away, Salem asks Amanda to get Ann-Margrock on the phone.
