Odd Facts Known by Few
- James Best, Jim Lindsey on this episode, is a painter. He creates many oil paintings and has his own website.
- Much has been said about whether the buildings on the 40 acres backlot had interiors. In this episode Freddy Fleet's band is in a restaurant situated where the drugstore will be in the next episode. A plain view out the window shows that this set is really where it purports to be. What's funny, is that it was never used again.
