Dates are in order of release:

Behind the scenes

  • The episode title is a combination of the film Beyond the Valley of the Dolls and the aforementioned TV series Valley of the Dinosaurs.
  • Phil brings along a red-shirted ensign-esque character from Star Trek, the kind of insignificant character who'd go along with Kirk and Spock on away missions, just to be the first to be killed.
  • There's a character at the wedding, who resembles Mr. Finkerton from Inch High, Private Eye, but he has black hair instead of gray.
  • Presumably to keep the realm devoid of civilization (outside of Gorak's apparent college education), the modern family from Valley of the Dinosaurs is absent. Perhaps being set before they even came.
  • The wedding banner has its past uses crossed out, which include Harvey's 40th birthday from "Deadomutt Part 2," Harvey's intervention from "SPF", and Avenger's goodbye party from "High Speed Buggy Chase."
  • The ending of the episode sets up Phil's minor C-plot in the next episode, "Evolutionary War."
  • Ouweleen, Richter, and Edgerly provide audio commentary for this episode on DVD releases.
  • In 2010, there happened to be a full-length movie called Hot Tub Time Machine.

Errors

  • The wedding banner says "Grock," but the credits say "Grok."
