Behind the scenes

 * This was the last episode to air on Cartoon Network in America. The series was put on a year-long hiatus for unexplained reasons, and resumed airing on Boomerang in the morning death slot hours.
 * The fact that Daphne's family was already to have been revealed to be from Scotland in the film Scooby-Doo! and the Loch Ness Monster, does create some conflict with her family being revealed to come from Ireland in this episode, although that can be explained through the two existing in different continuities.
 * A special thanks is given to Joe Ruby and Ken Spears, who had nothing to do with this episode, but did create the original series, Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!

Everlasting influence

 * In "In Space," Shaggy and Scooby escape the alien through an artificial wormhole, which temporarily sends them back in time to this episode when Fred, dressed as a knight, is attacking the giant.
