Notes & Trivia[]
- Bigfoot and Wildboy was created by Joe Ruby and Ken Spears.
- This originally aired as a two-part episode.
- Bert and Suzie are the first characters to appear in this episode.
- Bert is apparently best friends with Suzie's father. Suzie's father works at the U.S. Rangers' office.
- Bert stands at nearly the same height as Bigfoot. Of course, Bigfoot tends to slouch as he lopes long. Were he to stand at full height, he would edge out Bert in terms of tallness.
- This episode shows that Bigfoot can understand and likely communicate with animals.
- For some reason, people under the influence of mind control always feel compelled to do the outstretched arms zombie-stalk thing. The vampire thralls in "Return of the Vampire" do the exact same thing.
