Release

Dates are in order of release:

Behind the scenes

  • The episode is a play on "Olly olly oxen free."
  • With every episode's title card, one of the gang announces the guest star, which is Fred this time.
  • Ricky Gervais really does own a cat in real life called Ollie.
  • The character model of the antiques dealer is copied from Jameson Hyde White who appeared in the Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! episode "What a Night for a Knight."
  • Shaggy says "Zoinks" once.
  • The bobby cop from "Elementary, My Dear Shaggy!" has a cameo.
  • Gervais breaks the "fourth wall" by referring to himself as being in an episode.

Errors

  • It's unclear if this episode is supposed to occur before or after "Elementary, My Dear Shaggy!"
  • If Scooby was already making it impossible for the sink's cabinet door to be closed, how was the Cat Mummy then able to open it?
  • The Ruby of the Nile isn't recovered on-screen.
