During the scene where Jeannie is assembling the members of the Boyce/Hart Band, an instrumental version of a song that Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart wrote is playing in the background. The song was "Last Train to Clarksville", which was the first ever number-one single for The Monkees. In fact, there are several sly references to the band throughout this episode including having the covers to several of their albums in the background, the Bellowses holding a Monkees' album in their living room and during the audition scene a shot of Davy Jones' solo album that was released about a year prior to that show's debut.
Jeannie never wears her trademark pink harem outfit. This is the first episode in which she does not.
At the top of the show, the establishing shot of the Bellows' home shows the same house used for Samantha and Darrin Stephens' house from Bewitched (1964). At the end of the show, Tony, Jeannie and the Boyce and Hart group drive off and the house is seen again in the background.
Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart, who appear as themselves on the show, were one of the hottest songwriting teams in popular music at the time. They wrote many of The Monkees' biggest hits, whose television show The Monkees (1965), like I Dream of Jeannie (1965), was produced by Screen Gems.
