Other notes

Animation and/or technical glitches

• Clearly there were numerous animators used on this episode and its followup as the character models change (in some cases jarringly so) throughout the entire episode.

Miscellaneous trivia

• Shipwrecks's address in Springfield is 6 Village Drive, a reference to the classic Patrick McGoohan series The Prisoner.
• The plot of the episode also follows the premise of The Prisoner: A man who holds a secret of great interest is dropped into a village that appears for all intents and purposes to be normal and idyllic, yet is designed to get him to crack and give up the secret he holds.
• Professor Mullaney would make another appearance in "Joe's Night Out".
