Behind the scenes
- This is the first appearance of Mr. Spacely's son, Arthur.
- This is the first episode not to use space cars.
- The Moon has parodies of American places such as the Moonhattan Tilton Hotel and Lunar Park in reference to the Hilton Hotel and Central Park, respectively.
- Spacely's middle initial is given as "Q," while in "Jetson's Nite Out", it was "G."
Errors
- Mrs. Spacely looks nothing like she did in her previous two appearances.
- When George is about to split them up, there are four troop members, instead of five.
- The plot ending with Arthur being happy about the badges he's earned implies that he didn't like being on the trip, but his mood seemed to vary between being happy and unhappy.
