[1] Vincent Waller was in South Korea supervising the lay-out stage for The Great Outdoors when the Spümcø studio when learned on 21 September 1992 that Spümcø studio had lost the contract for The Ren & Stimpy Show, and that someone else would be finishing The Great Outdoors.

The episode was met with a very negative reception in 1993 with many critics condemning Billy West's voice acting as Ren while the general feeling being that John Kricfalusi played Ren much better.
