This episode was one of a selection put together as two-in-one features aired with 'Old Galen' introducing and closing the feature. So if this episode is aired alone without opening credits, you're actually watching the second half of Life, Liberty and Pursuit on the Planet of the Apes (1980) (with the final 'Old Galen' wrap scene removed, it's then identical) rather than the actual episode. The closing credits will differ, showing the double-bill's production code (starting Z-) instead of the usual B- for episodes.
Norman Burton (Yalu) previously played the Hunt Leader, the first ape seen by the audience, in Planet der Affen (1968) and an Army Officer in Flucht vom Planet der Affen (1971).
Galen's mother Ann is the only female in the "Apes" universe to not have a name ending with an "a".
This episode takes place in 1980 and 3085.
