Behind the scenes
- The short is a spoof to the narration style used in the radio/television series Dragnet.
- This is one of the few Sylvester and Tweety shorts where the latter does not directly influence the outcome.
- This is the last short in which Sylvester is silent; the other Tweety shorts where Sylvester is mute are Tweetie Pie, Bad Ol' Putty Tat, and Putty Tat Trouble.
Connections
- The fisherman gag was repurposed in the 1960 short Trip for Tat, in which the fisherman was replaced with a stereotypical Japanese man.
- It was used in the TV special Bugs Bunny's Mad World of Television, using the title, Drag-Nest, which is a pun on Dragnet.
