ABC originally broadcast this episode in black and white.
The version of Bongo presented in this show is different from the theatrical version. 1. The original narration, originally supplied by Dinah Shore, is replaced by that of Jiminy Cricket, and the record Jiminy finds credits himself as the narrator. 2. The woodland critters' unintelligible dialogue is now accompanied by subtitles translating their chatter to English. 3. Dinah Shore's vocals for the songs were replaced; a female chorus fills in for her on "Lazy Countryside" and "Too Good to Be True", while Cliff Edwards fills in for "Say It with a Slap". 4. At the end of the show, Jiminy walks away singing "I'm a Happy-Go-Lucky Fellow" and bids farewell to the viewer.
