Behind the scenes

• The episode title is named after song artist Glenn Campbell, with lyrics from his songs randomly spoken.
• The Simpsons episodes Space Ghost and Zorak watch at the beginning of the episode are "There's No Disgrace Like Home" and "Lady Bouvier's Lover."
• Matt mentions Dennis the Menace, I Spy, Primetime, Hey There, It's Yogi Bear, and Cartoon Network.
• Zorak mentions Mob Squad, Care Bears, Rin Tin Tin.
• Space Ghost mentions Wings and The Lion King. How the former is a rhyming-sounding show, I don't know.
• Space Ghost says he's the Ghost of Christmas Past, a reference to the film A Christmas Carol.
• Matt paraphrases the Alien movie tagline "In space, no one can hear you scream" when he says, "In space, no one can hear you sneeze."
• Matt mentions Casper and Richie Rich, although he wasn't necessarily referring to the Hanna-Barbera versions.
• Dog barks are used over the Cartoon Network logo at the end of the episode.
• Adult Swim's website skips this episode.
• Jay Edwards, Dave Willis, Roy Clements, Matt Harrigan, George Lowe, and C. Martin Croker provide audio commentary for this episode on DVD releases.

Errors

• Matt mentions Hey There, It's a Yogi Bear as a show he likes to watch that rhymes, but it's not a show, it's a movie.

Legacy

• Moltar's storyline is concluded in the next episode, "Jacksonville."
