Notes & Trivia[]

  • This episode is included on disc one of the Futurama: The Complete Series DVD boxset collection and the Futurama, Volume One DVD collection.
  • Leonard Nimoy and Dick Clark both make cameo guest appearances as themselves. Dick Clark is a media mogul and former host of the 1970s TV show American Bandstand. As the owner of Dick Clark Productions, he developed numerous variety programs and game shows including The $10,000 Pyramid, The Dick Clark Show and The Dick Clark Saturday Night Beech-Nut Show. Leonard Nimoy meanwhile, was a staple of the science fiction genre, solidifying himself as an iconic figure for his portrayal of Vulcan space officer Spock in the Star Trek TV and film franchise. He has also appeared in numerous films and other sci-fi shows such as The Outer Limits (both versions) and Fringe.
  • Richard Milhous Nixon, shown as a disembodied head encased in glass in this series, was the 37th President of the United States. His years in office are remembered for several noteworthy and controversial events including opening diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China in 1972, orchestrating the ceasefire with North Vietnam in 1973, and the Watergate scandal, which ultimately led to his resignation in August, 1974.
