- Melvin and Williams's voices are styled after actors, Humphrey Bogart and Terry Thomas, respectively.
- The names outside of the hotel Melvin rents an office are called Casablanca Street and Sierra named after the films Casablanca and either The Treasure of the Sierra or High Sierra, films that Bogart starred in.
- Like other Hanna-Barbera series at the time, it also had its own laugh track.
- This was the first of two pilots Hanna-Barbera tested through Love, American Style, but whereas this failed, the second one entitled "Love and the Old-Fashioned Father", led to the fully realized series Wait Till Your Father Gets Home, which lasted three seasons.
