Production

Development

This episode was supposed to have an interview with Paul Westerberg of The Replacements, but he stormed off after five minutes after he didn't like it because he wasn't informed beforehand what the show was about. This is even talked about in the audio commentary, but his name has been bleeped out.

Filming

It was copyrighted in 1996.

Music

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

Release

Behind the scenes

  • Adult Swim's website skips this episode.
  • After the recap, the episode opens up as the opening theme music to Charlie's Angels would.
  • Even though he's not supposed to be there, Moltar switches his monitor onto the episodes "Freak Show," "President's Day Nightmare," and "Surprise," with Commander Andy in his bedroom, Craig McCracken celebrating in his swimsuit, and Judy Tenuta playing her accordion, respectively.
  • The scene with Creature King is recycled footage from the Space Ghost episode "The Space Ark."
  • The announcer is a parody of the announcer from the TV series Dragnet, which is most evident in the ending when he says that the names have been changed to protect the innocent, except it was in the opening for Dragnet.
  • Dave Willis, Andy Merrill, and Jay Edwards provide audio commentary for this episode on DVD releases.

Errors

Legacy

  • Following this episode's airing, the scene where Metallica makes up a song was lampooned on E! network's Talk Soup.
