- TriviaThe United States flag on display in the courtroom during Vicki's trial in Tucson, Arizona, is a 48-star flag. The 48-star flag was officially replaced by the 49-star flag on July 4, 1959, and that in turn was replaced by the 50-star flag on July 4, 1960. In practice, 48- and 49-star flags were often not replaced until they were too worn or faded to be presentable. Moreover, the 48-star flag was adopted in 1912, the year that Arizona became a state, and 1962 was the 50th anniversary of Arizona statehood. For these reasons, a 48-star flag in a protected indoor environment might well have been in use during the time of this episode in late 1961 or early 1962.
- GoofsIn the courtroom for Vicki's trial, the American flag has 48 stars. Since the episode was released in 1962, the current 50-star flag should have been shown.

Featured review
The Best Representative Show
Anyone who would like to introduce others to Route 66 should consider showing "How Much a Pound Is Albatross?" to prospective fans. This episode is, on the surface, lighthearted fun but there's an undercurrent of discovery for viewers to experience (maybe even personally) in the lead character, played on a perfect edge by the incomparable Julie Newmar - for most people, the first Catwoman on the original Batman series. Buz' and Tod's freewheeling exploration of America is tame compared to Newmar's free-spirited motorcycle rider, who wins Buz' heart but, in a turn from the usual Route 66 storyline, appreciates Tod's steadfastness more than Buz' advances. Newmar's scenes in the deserts of Arizona with Tod seal this episode as a genuine classic. While most of the Route 66 series is more serious than "How Much a Pound Is Albatross?", this episode feels more at home with its characters' strengths and is very comforting to watch.
