Production Notes
This is the only episode in the first season in which Rod Serling appears on-screen and breaks the fourth wall (in a rare humorous scene). This is also one of only two episodes of the entire series where Serling appears on camera at the conclusion of the episode (the other episode was the last broadcast episode of the second season "The Obsolete Man"). (He did appear in sponsor spots at the end of some episodes, but these were not part of the episodes proper.) From the second season onward, Serling began to appear on-screen at the start of each episode.
At the end of the first season, Kimberly-Clark discontinued their alternate sponsorship of the series. A new sponsor began alternating with General Foods that summer, Colgate-Palmolive, primarily on behalf of Colgate Dental Cream, as well as some of their other products (including "Veto" deodorant).

Famous quotes containing the words production and/or notes:
“Every production of an artist should be the expression of an adventure of his soul.”
—W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1965)
“My weary limbs are scarcely stretched for repose, before red dawn peeps into my chamber window, and the birds in the whispering leaves over the roof, apprise me by their sweetest notes that another day of toil awaits me. I arise, the harness is hastily adjusted and once more I step upon the tread-mill.”
—“E. B.,” U.S. farmer. As quoted in Feminine Ingenuity, by Anne L. MacDonald (1992)
