Due to the abuse he suffered from his publicist as a child Todd Bridges states in the film An Open Secret (2014) that this episode made him increasingly uncomfortable.
On the now defunct Jump The Shark website, this kind of episode was deemed "A Very Special" episode, and since has gone down as being extremely creepy and uncomfortable, which was somewhat the intention. But the fact there are laugh tracks throughout, even at some of the jokes Gordon Jump's molester character tells, it's gone down in pop culture as being infamously campy and downright bizarre.
The episode opens with Conrad Bain encouraging families to discuss the show after watching it.
