Behind the scenes
Errors
- Why is there only four students at the high school picnic? And one of them isn't even a high school student.
- Despite already being called the Centerville Picnic Grounds, a second sign says Centerville Picnic Area.
- Yes, Benjy was asking Betty if she was at the time by herself, but they also came together, which itself makes very little sense to begin with.
- When Betty comes closer to Ronald to ask if he's afraid, Benjy and Kelly, who were behind either side of him, have disappeared.

Home availability
- Warner Bros. owns the show, while Disney owns the characters, making it difficult to release this episode onto DVD.
