- TriviaThis is the only episode where Mike is one of the "superhero" Monkee Men.
- GoofsThe eye-makeup Joey Forman wears to make him appear Oriental is markedly uneven; the right eye is pulled wide open by it in one scene and in another scene is much paler than the left eye-makeup.
- Quotes
Davy: [using psychological warfare] You're a nailbiter. You're a nailbiter and your mother never, ever, loved you.
Toto: You are too short. You are too short. You have no ear for music.
Davy: Ahh. Mike, Mike. Help me, Mike.
Mike: I'll handle this. You're ugly. You're an ugly person. Ugly, ugly, ooh are you ugly! Nobody likes you, least of all me. Nobody, nobody likes you.

Featured review
Dated awful humor saved by one gag
One scene saved the episode from being a typical dated terrible sitcom episode and that is when brought in by the CIA the agent tries to explain why the Chinese are their enemy and describes their weird hair and clothing and the Monkees seemingly self aware look puzzled and the agent kinda backtracks even fitting a great Monkees song like Your Auntie Grizelda felt tacky (yes great song listen to the listen to the lyrics Grizelda was the original Karen a good fit for Peter to sing but could have been a better character than the "Chinese" spies) although actually I do like the line oh so you have stomach for Chinese ice torture and the reply.
