Behind the scenes

• Super George is a parody of Superman, which is the reason why the title is displayed as one word.
• For some reason Warner Home Video cut the title card when releasing the episode onto The Jetsons: Season 2, Volume 1.

Errors

• The second time Spacely fired George was for something that was the Nebulous Nifty company's fault.

Everlasting influence

• Flashbacks to this episode are shown in "The Century's Best."
