Reuses music from the 9th episode "Perchance to Dream."
When Gerry's ex-wife demands he give her a check, she spells out the last name as "Raigan". This isn't the expected way to spell it, which may have been deliberate, so as to not associate the character with Ronald Reagan, the then-President of the Screen Actors Guild.
This episode was spoofed in the 1983 book "The Beaver Papers: The Story of the 'Lost Season'" by Will Jacobs and Gerard Jones, a parody of Leave It to Beaver (1957) featuring a lost season comprising 25 episodes written in the style of famous writers. In "The Beaver Zone" supposedly written by Rod Serling, Ward Cleaver is having dinner with his family when he hears an offstage voice yell "Cut!" He suddenly finds himself on a sound stage. He is told that he is an alcoholic actor named Hugh Beaumont and Ward Cleaver is merely the character that he plays on television. The story ends with Beaumont boarding a commuter train and retreating to the idyllic imaginary world of Mayfield, parodying the later episode A Stop at Willoughby (1960).
