Behind the Scenes
This was Burr's favorite episode and one he showed often, in addition to performing it live numerous times at puppetry festivals. The title song was an original composition written by Burr and Jack Fascinato.
Allusions and References
- During the segment where Ollie and Fran are advertising executives, Fran requests "something PD" for the ad jingle from Jack Fascinato at the piano. PD is an abbreviation for "public domain"--that is, something out-of-copyright that doesn't require broadcast clearance. Jack's response is an appropriately euphemistic "Something everyone knows?"
