Pugsley belongs to Boy Scout Troop 999.
In the beginning, Grandmama, Uncle Fester and Wednesday appear on the stairs in the classic pose featured in the opening title sequence during the line "They're creepy and they're kooky".
This episode marks the first time Gomez is excited by something Morticia says, though here it's her calling him Bubala. It would later be changed to her speaking French.
When Morticia muses whether blondes have more fun, it's a nod to the popular Clairol ad campaign of the time "Is it true blondes have more fun?" Caroline Jones actually did have blond hair at various times during her career, including the role of Morticia's sister Ophelia in later episodes of the show.
Morticia reads from Edgar Allen Poe's work "The Raven" to Pugsley.
