The Toyman, known in this episode by his true name of Winslow P. Schott, was introduced in the comics story "The Terrible Toyman", Action No. 64, September 1943. (edit) If you watch the episode with the DVD commentary with Dean Cain near the end when Lois and Clark are in Lois's apartment, Lois says "You are going to get stuffed". That line made quite a stir in Australia because there the phrase has another meaning. (edit) This is one of the few episodes Clark Kent's middle name is mentioned when Martha yells at him: "Clark Jerome Kent". He was propably named after one of the creators of "Superman", Jerome "Jerry" Siegel. (edit) According to Dean Cain on the DVD audio commentary, this was his first writing credit. (edit) Superman's two adversaries played by Sherman Hemsley and Isabel Sanford played Mr. and Mrs. Jefferson on the TV show The Jeffersons. (edit)

Schott: Mrs. Duffy? Mrs. Duffy? I have a surprise.
Lois: So do we. You're busted. Merry Christmas. (edit) Martha: I never spanked you. I never had to. But right now, I'd like to drop your britches and tan your hide like cheap leather. (edit) Perry: Superman! You're not gonna take my rats, are ya? (edit) Perry: Clark, you want me to send you to the dark room? (edit) Clark: Lois is in trouble! Lois is in trouble! (edit)

If you look closely, you can see a picture of Superman in Lois' wallet when she goes to pay the crazy taxi driver towards the end of the episode. (edit)

The Atomic Space Rats are an allusion the the cartoon Biker Mice From Mars from 1993. (edit)
