Behind the scenes

• This episode is an homage to Laverne & Shirley without even mentioning the series by name.
  • The episode title is named after the stuffed cat owned by Shirley (when Hanna-Barbera turned the series into a cartoon, it also included Boo Boo Kitty). Space Ghost also has his own Boo Boo Kitty.
  • The scenes with Space Ghost and Zorak in an apartment together arguing like Laverne and Shirley would.
  • Michael McKean and David Lander played friends and roommates on Laverne & Shirley.
• Space Ghost mentions the Godfather trilogy.
• The quote battle between Space Ghost and Zorak is a parody of what occurred in the 1993 film Loaded Weapon 1.
• Zorak is quoting what Princess Leia says to Obi-Wan Kenobi from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, when he says, "Help me, Obi-Wan, you're my only hope."
• Space Ghost says "A Little Song, a Little Dance, a Little Seltzer Down Your Pants!" which is a song by the Motif Media Group.
• Zorak mentions Donkey Kong, a video game character.
• Zorak thinks David Lander is Balki, played by Bronson Pinchot, from ABC's sitcom Perfect Strangers.
• Moltar mentions the NBC drama Police Woman, and the titular character Pepper, played by Angie Dickinson.
• Gag credits include Nathan Cook as Space Ghost's secretary, and Michael Lazzo for gloves.
• Special thanks are given to Hanna-Barbera, Harriet Sternberg, Tobe Becker, HBO, U.S. Comedy Arts Festival, and Stuart Smith.
• Over the Cartoon Network logo at the end of the episode, David Lander's voice is heard saying he feels like everything in the show is trick photography.
• Some of David Lander's time spent on this interview was also used for a fake commercial in "Edelweiss," as he's wearing the same outfit.
• When shown on the Adult Swim website, the episode's title card is cut off at the end.
