Behind the scenes
- The episode is rather infamous due to its insensitive (and potentially racist) use of Japanese people. In particular was the case of Rockimoto Hashimoto, a judo instructor based on racial stereotypes common at the time of its airing.
- It is also the only episode in the series that has not aired on MeTV, likely due to the stereotypes stated above.
