Behind the scenes

  • The episode title comes from bleeping Space Ghost's "fucking dead" line, so it comes out "--king dead."
  • This is the first time the outside of Space Ghost's house has been seen.
  • Moltar mentions Cartoon Planet.
  • Snepponomicon is named after offline editor, Jon Schnepp.
  • Matt's Mind is written by Maiellaro, as in Matt Maiellaro.
  • The Spells of Love is written by Willis, as in Dave Willis.

Errors

  • Space Ghost's house is referred to as an apartment, even by Space Ghost himself, but this is contradicted by the fact that the outside is a house building; his logo is on the garage door. The "apartment" is shown with a front door, but the outside of that front door is on the second floor.
