Behind the scenes

Errors

Everlasting influence

  • In the late 1990s, the producers of the medical TV drama Diagnosis: Murder, starring Dick Van Dyke, wanted to reuse scenes from this episode as part of a story where Jesse Travis, played by Charlie Schlatter, is knocked unconscious and fights for his life, hallucinating himself and his colleagues as Mystery Inc. (with Jesse as Shaggy, Steve as Fred, Amanda as Velma, and Susan as Daphne). Unfortunately, Time Warner had just bought Hanna-Barbera and was more interested in developing a live-action movie, and somewhat hilariously didn't want the crossover to be detrimental to that.[1][2]
