Trivia
- This is the first episode to only have three shorts instead of the usual "four shorts" per episode, due to how long The Louie and Louie Show short ran.
- This is the only appearance of The Louie and Louie Show, and is the only short throughout the entire series' run (besides Action League Now!) to continue after a commercial break.
- Since the end credits run faster than usual in the episode, they feature only still images rather than video clips from the shorts in the episode. The only other episode to do this is KaBlam! James KaBlam!.
- It is the fifth and fourth episode in a row without Prometheus and Bob.
- It is also the first episode without Life with Loopy.
