Behind the scenes
- This is the last Foghorn Leghorn short where Foghorn is the only main character. Other shorts that featured him as a solo-character are: A Fractured Leghorn, Raw! Raw! Rooster! and The Dixie Fryer.
- When Mr. Cackle mentions Dennis the Menace when comparing the destructive Junior with that character in one scene, he was referencing the comic character of the same name by Hank Ketcham and the 1959 live-action television series it inspired.
Errors
- Although this cartoon is a Looney Tunes short, it uses the Merrie Melodies outro sequence with the Looney Tunes outro theme (1955–1964).
