Notes/trivia

• This is the only episode in which Coolsville doesn't truly physically appear, it only appears in the gang's stories; Red Herring only appears in Freddie's.
• This is one of few instances in which Freddie does not accuse Red Herring of being the monster.
• Yogi Bear makes a cameo appearance at the beginning and after the chase scene, and Yogi's friend/adversary Ranger Smith comes in at the end.

Animation mistakes and/or technical glitches

• None known.

Inconsistencies/continuity errors and/or goofs/oddities

• In Shaggy's story, his Commander Cool outfit is a different color from its appearance in other episodes.
• Apparently, Jellystone Park is adjacent to an Indian Reservation?
