Detailed summary
Memorable quotes
Robot Race: I'm taking the boys, Benton, and there's not a damn thing you can do about it.
Dr. Quest: You see, my longtime partner is challenging me for custody of my boys.
Harvey: How long has she--.
Dr. Quest: He. He's my traveling companion. We go on adventures together in steamy jungles and the like.
Harvey: I'll take the case! But first I need to speak to the boys. What are their names?
Dr. Quest: Of course, their names. Certainly. Well, uh... Yes. Well, there's a blond one... The blond one who's name is... Oh, come on, Benton.
Harvey: Dr. Quest, tell us a little about your relationship with--.
Dr. Quest: Well, Race and I met one night.

Release
After a sneak peak on Cartoon Network around the 4 am death slot, it had its official premiere on September 2, 2001, during Cartoon Network's launch of their late-night programming block, Adult Swim.
Behind the scenes
- The hut Race and Dr. Quest talk in at the beginning of the episode has a "Bless This Hut" picture on the wall.
- Race drinks from a "World's Best 2nd Dad" mug.
- The episode frequently alludes to a homosexual relationship between Dr. Quest and Race.
- Dee Baker, better known as Dee Bradley Baker, is uncredited for voicing Avenger.
- Debbie isn't named in this episode.
- The Visolux is based on the portable communicators the main characters used in Jonny Quest.
- The vanity plate on Judge Mightor's Lexus car reads, "HORN GOD".
- After this episode, the barkeep at the Birdcage is F.E.A.R. leader, Number One, from the Birdman TV series.
Errors
- Despite the fact the lizard man on the stand says his first and last name is Lizardman, his colleagues call him Bill.
- Bill and his colleagues (if they had actually appeared), Fruelich, Dietrich, and Duffel should be dead.
- Despite the fact that Harvey is somewhat irked by the implied homosexuality of Dr. Quest, Harvey is later repeatedly depicted as gay himself.
- Harvey turns to the right when speaking to the stenographer/Dr. Zin, as if they're next to each other, yet when the scene switches to the latter's response, Harvey is on the other side of the room.
Home availability
