| The man who plays Loveless' deaf-mute assistant is Leonard Falk... who is Robert Conrad's real-life father, making a cameo appearance.
| Corner Slides
Lower Left: Dr. Loveless enjoys a chocolate.
Upper Right: A drugged Jim lying unconscious.
Lower Right: Artie eating a turkey leg.
Upper Left: The lake where Loveless’ boat sank… and ripples indicating the doctor may not be dead.
| Michael Dunn almost died during the filming of the boat stunt at the end. Dunn insisted on doing his own stunts but caught his clothing on the boat edge as it sank. Only quick action by the crew freed him before he drowned.
| Dr. Loveless appears in a wheelchair through the early part of the episode because the later sequences were filmed first. Michael Dunn injured his leg during the sequence with the lever in his laboratory, a sequence that was filmed early on in the production. Thus the Doctor is in a wheelchair for much of the episode, or seated, or standing so his legs can't be seen.

| Dr. Miguelito Loveless: Do you know what tomorrow is?
James: No.
Dr. Miguelito Loveless: The end of winter. Tomorrow everywhere except in the breast of man, the chill will begin to thaw. Small things, so fragile, will be born again. So much promise, and by the end of spring the promise will have flower. Mr. West, you cannot know the deep hurt one can feel when the seed cannot reach its full flowering. For in the summer Man comes, Man comes to… crush and maim and kill all that spring has given birth to. So summer must not come, nor Man. Man must be destroyed.
| Dr. Miguelito Loveless: Alexander the Great, Caesar, Napoleon, all the great conquests of history mere child’s play compared to what I’ve done in that room with a shaving brush.
| James: I’ll miss him. That little man with a giant rage against the whole universe.

| The episode title is a bit confusing since although Loveless' plan revolves around water, there is no spring, murderous or otherwise, that appears in the episode. The title becomes a little clearer late in the episode when Loveless talks about how spring gives rise to the small creatures of the world, and then Man rises in the summer to destroy them. But then that would be The Night of the Murderous Summer. So apparently the writers and producers were going for something that sounded properly sinister without it actually making sense in the episode.
