Behind the scenes

  • The Cartwrights, from the TV western series Bonanza, are caricatured here as the Cartrocks.
  • Barney's deputy accent bares a striking resemblance to Festus Haggen from Gunsmoke, and to a lesser extent, Droop-a-long Coyote; another Hanna-Barbera character that Mel Blanc voiced.
