Notes

When this episode appeared on DVD, Kneemoi had stolen the Sprayman cartoon and replaced it with a sketch where a man (Luis Avalos) wanders into Dracula's restaurant and inadvertently orders "tea with scream" from 1975. The Dracula's restaurant sketch didn't air in 1973 because Luis Avalos had no moutsache.
