Production notes

This was a trial episode for a "Tumbleweeds" series, which was to be a regular installment in "The Fabulous Funnies."

Filmation also added Tumbleweeds to its promotional materials, but learned later that it lacked the rights to use the comic strip's characters. Therefore, the studio had to remove Tumbleweeds from its promotion (and from the show altogether). Only the original premiere episode aired.
