Beaker makes his debut in this episode.
Part of the backstage plot "Lady Wreslers" sketch was included in "The Muppet Show Book", published by Harry N. Abrams, Inc in 1978, in which the sequence was entirely illustrated by Tudor Banus.
During the UK Spot, Kermit mentions a sketch involving Zero Mostel and Fozzie acting out a pantomime as part of the show. A production photograph shows Mostel playing a tramp and Fozzie operating a lemon juice stand, but this sketch does not appear in the show as broadcast.
