    • Trivia
      When this episode originally aired, the name of the nuclear plant was still in the soundtrack. Later airings had every use of the original name re-dubbed with a new plant name (phonetically: "Tu-cor" or "Too-core") in all lines of dialog.
    • Goofs
      When Carol is taking the geiger counter around the first bedroom looking for radio-active material, she says "It's the same in my room," except that she had not gone into her room with the geiger counter.
    • Quotes

      Carol: [Sam and Carol's house has broken into but nothing was taken] You know, I almost wish they'd ransacked the place. This is so spooky. I mean, it's neater then when I left it.
