After Jim Henson's death five months after this episode aired, a dedication to his memory was added to the end of the episode and still appears in the syndicated reruns.
Jim Henson was too busy with MuppeTelevision (1987) to perform in this episode. So Bill Cosby plays a dual role as an older man sitting with Statler in the balcony, taking the place of Henson's character Waldorf.
Matt Robinson: Cosby Show producer. Robinson was one of the original cast members of Sesame Street (1969), another Muppet production.
