"The Genie with the Light Brown Hair" is a play on the Stephen Foster parlor song "Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair". This same play on the title is used in the closing lines of the 1956 Bugs Bunny short "Broomstick Bunny".
"The Genie with the Light Brown Hair" was rebroadcast during Season 4 on September 17, 1983, also as the second Zillion Dollar Adventures segment aired on ABC that season.
"The Midas Touch" was a story originally published in the comic book Richie Rich and Casper. When this episode was produced, it was republished in "Richie Rich Digest Stories" #14, published in January 1982. In the comic book story, Wendy the Good Little Witch was the only main character in the story who was turned into gold, and Richie and Casper had to try to find a way to reverse the spell.
At one point during the episode, Reggie folded his arms while wearing the glove, and the glove touched his own arm, but he didn't turn into gold at that time.
The "Ball Room" was the second of two appearances of the Latino boy Manuel. His other appearance was in the Zillion Dollar Adventures segment "The Collector", which aired the previous week.
