The production date at the end of this special episode is dated 2007, while all other season 2 episodes are dated 2008. This indicates that this episode was intended to air prior to the start of season 2. In fact, the joke in this special episode is that season 2 of TBGSS would be transformed into an entirely straight format. During LOGO's marathon of the entire The Big Gay Sketch Show episodes, this episode aired after the first season finale and before the second season premiere. edit »
