It was during the filming of this episode that creator and executive producer Michael Garrison died on August 17, 1966, falling down his staircase at home. After Garrison's death was announced, most of the cast and crew were uncomfortable with the fact they were filming scenes in a mock mortuary.
 
Jim utters the phrase, "Because, Artie, things aren’t always what they seem to be." This was Garrison's approach to the show in general, and he had the phrase inscribed on a plaque and hung up in his office.
