Behind the scenes

• The short is a spoof to the narration style used in the radio/television series Dragnet.
• This is one of the few Sylvester and Tweety shorts where the latter does not directly influence the outcome.
• This is the last short in which Sylvester is silent; the other Tweety shorts where Sylvester is mute are Tweetie Pie, Bad Ol' Putty Tat, and Putty Tat Trouble.

Legacy

• It was used in the TV special Bugs Bunny's Mad World of Television, using the title, Drag-Nest, which is a pun on Dragnet.
