Notes

add »
Dal McKennon makes his first appearance of the series in this episode as tavern owner/trader Cincinnatus. (edit)
This episode marks the first appearance on the show of the legendary animal actor, Hannibal A. Goose. One of the most popular animal stars in TV history, Hannibal reportedly got more fan mail than anyone in the cast but alas his temperamental attitude and inability to get along with his castmates led to a short stay on the series. (edit)
