Aftermath
When The Jetsons originally aired, no title cards were present. They were only added when the series was revived in the 1980s, and the original episodes were given title cards for consistency. Notably, they all include Orbitty, who wasn't in the original series.

Behind the scenes

 * In this episode, Spacely's middle initial is given as "G," although in "The Good Little Scouts", it is "Q."
 * This is the first time Mrs. Spacely appears outside of the visaphone.
 * On The Jetsons: The Complete First Season, this is the fifth episode.

Errors

 * When talking through the visaphone, Jane still has to tell George it's her, but this may have be done as a joke more than anything else.
