Those famous watercolors, used during the opening and closing credits, were first featured in this episode. At this point in the series, they were used for only the end credits. According to the "Bonanza: Scenery of the Ponderosa" web site, the vividly colored portraits were designed by Bonanza's art director A. Earl Hedrick, scenic art designer Hal Pereira, and producer David Dortort.

John Frederick was billed as John Merrick. A. Earl Hedrick was credited as Earl Hedrick.

Amy : (to Joe) You're one of those high-and-mighty Cartwrights who thinks he owns all the land in Nevada!

Ben: I've never held my land above my sons. Before that would happen, I'd destroy the Ponderosa.

Hoss: Little Joe, you keep on missing supper like that and you're gonna get plum puny.
Joe: You mean like you?
Hoss: Yeah. I am getting kind of skinny. (edit)

The layout of the interior of the house is different than in later episodes. In front of the fireplace is a large round table with three chairs placed around it. There is no sofa.

In this episode we get to see inside Joe's bedroom, which has little furniture.
