The music was composed by Hoyt Curtin, with musical supervision from Paul DeKorte.

Behind the scenes

  • Despite this being the first episode, this is not the first Laff-a-Lympics, and it's unclear how long they've been going for.
  • This episode would be the last time Alan Reed would be voicing Fred Flintstone before his death. Henry Corden took on the rest of the voices of Fred Flintstone in later appearances.

Errors

  • Huckleberry appears in the Yogi's crowd just after performing in the skiing contest.
  • Augie disappears after the toboggan race starts and is replaced by Wally. Daddy, however, is mistakenly designed to look like Augie, at least, until they flip upside down on their heads.
  • Dynomutt appears in the Scoobys crowd cheering after his performance on the Swiss Ice Palace's ice rink.
