Trivia
Rare occasion where Dawson Palmer who plays Keel is not seen in a monster costume or wearing heavy make-up as some type of alien. Dawson also plays the Werewolf.

Goofs
When the werewolf reverts back into Keel, its footprints revert from wolf tracks to shoe tracks instead of to footprints from the bare feet they should be.

Quotes
Dr. Zachary Smith: Exciting news of a romantic nature always attracts listeners. My dear friends, you see before you the happiest man in the world: Sybila has promised to be my wife.
Maj. Don West: Not the witch?
Dr. Zachary Smith: I shall treat that slur with the contempt it deserves.

Crazy credits
Besides playing sisters years earlier on The Danny Thomas Show, Sherry Jackson and Angela Cartwright have something else in common: Both quit show business when the quality of the parts offered them, if any, was unacceptable.

The Weakest Season One Episode

The Space Croppers gets my vote as the worst Season One episode, slightly ahead of "The Lost Civilization". It is basically a better-than-average Season Two episode that seems way out of place for Season One.

The ridiculous Hillbillies in space theme, compounded by the nonsensical plot make this a mess to watch.

Dr. Smith is an imbecile through-out most of this. However, he does generate some laughs when he make some funny Lou Costello-type faces when describing the werewolf, with a great one-liner about the Robot being his best man in is wedding and a few zingers towards the Robot!

Major West is uncomfortable during his interactions with Efra and it just seems out of place.
