Release
Dates are in order of release:
- United States: April 1, 1960 in theatres
Behind the scenes
- The title is a parody of the TV Show, Person to Person.
- This was the last cartoon that Arthur Q. Bryan had provided the voice of Elmer Fudd, and the last cartoon to pair Elmer with both Bugs and Daffy.
- Due to the long production time for all of the theatrical cartoons, the cartoon's pop culture references had become outdated in 1960. In real life, Edward R. Murrow had already left Person to Person and was replaced by Charles Collingwood. A similar "outdated reference" problem previously occurred with Wild Wild World a cartoon from earlier that year. At the time that cartoon was released in theaters, Wide Wide World got cancelled.
Errors
- This cartoon had no MPAA number during the credits sequence.
- When this cartoon got restored for the Looney Tunes Super Stars: Daffy Duck - Frustrated Fowl DVD, it had been cropped to widescreen. But it was restored to full screen later on in both the Daffy Duck DVD release of Stars of Space Jam and on the Blu-Ray set of, Bugs Bunny's 80th Anniversary Collection.
