Production Notes
This is the only episode in the first season in which Rod Serling appears on-screen and breaks the fourth wall (in a rare humorous scene). This is also one of only two episodes of the entire series where Serling appears on camera at the conclusion of the episode (the other episode was the last broadcast episode of the second season "The Obsolete Man"). (He did appear in sponsor spots at the end of some episodes, but these were not part of the episodes proper.) From the second season onward, Serling began to appear on-screen at the start of each episode.
At the end of the first season, Kimberly-Clark discontinued their alternate sponsorship of the series. A new sponsor began alternating with General Foods that summer, Colgate-Palmolive, primarily on behalf of Colgate Dental Cream, as well as some of their other products (including "Veto" deodorant).

Famous quotes containing the words production and/or notes:
“The growing of food and the growing of children are both vital to the family’s survival.... Who would dare make the judgment that holding your youngest baby on your lap is less important than weeding a few more yards in the maize field? Yet this is the judgment our society makes constantly. Production of autos, canned soup, advertising copy is important. Housework—cleaning, feeding, and caring—is unimportant.”
—Debbie Taylor (20th century)
“I am thankful for small mercies. I compared notes with one of my friends who expects everything of the universe, and is disappointed when anything is less than best, and I found that I begin at the other extreme, expecting nothing, and am always full of thanks for moderate goods.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
