Development

The episode was supposed to have two interviews, with the other being a crossover involving the Tick from The Tick cartoon that aired on Fox Kids, but its parent company backed out, even though all the dialogue had been recorded by Townsend Coleman, who was reprising his role from the aforementioned cartoon. They briefly toyed with the idea of still using the dialogue over a real tick.[1]

Filming

It was copyrighted in 1997.

Music

The music was composed by Sonny Sharrock and Eddie Horst. The musicians were Sharrock, Lance Carter, Horst, and Alfrieda Gerald.
