Notes/trivia

  • This episode was aired in Latin America on November 10, 2012.
  • Tom, Tub, and Scooby the seal are from Moby Dick and Mighty Mightor, except that in the TV series Moby Dick was a real whale.
  • Tom and Tub's fathers are Dr. Paul Williams and Captain Michael Murphy from Sealab 2020, another Hanna-Barbara show.
  • Turning around a chair in which a villain sits, only to find a corpse, echoes the movie Psycho.
  • This episode was included in Cartoon Network's Scooby-Doo! Back to School Marathon (August 10-11, 2013).

Animation mistakes and/or technical glitches

  • When Velma picks up the Benevolent Lodge of Mystery photo, her swim suit sleeves are colored like Daphne's.
    • Then again, it could have been Daphne who picked up the photo.
  • A second later, Fred's arm is hidden behind Velma's head. His hand looks like the sleeve does not reach it.
