Production notes

In the scene where the Titans are chasing Mad Mod through the seemingly endless maze, various pop culture references are made, mostly from the 1960's.

In addition, the song playing during this scene is "K2G" by Puffy AmiYumi (from the 2003 album Nice).

This is one of my all time favs.Anyone wgo thinks otherwise is a retard.......NOT!!!!!This episode was a complete flop.Mad Mod had NO backstory and NO class in clothing.Raven might as well not been there.Mad Mod also made Beast Boy look like a complete moron(boogers.....veeeery funny i'm sure.All and all,this piece of garbage was a very horrible idea.

When this episode opens, you'll see the Teen Titans captured, but instead of killing them, which I would've done, the villain, an Elton John wanna-be named Mad Mod decides to "re-educate" them. Sure he exclaims how he captured them, but if it was that easy, why doesn't all the villains do that? Anyway, the episode continues, and is more pathitic than you'd believe. Everything here is fake (including Mad Mod's accent), and everything is a twisted version of both a school and a musuem where all the pieces of art has Mad Mod's ugly mug on it. To make matters worse, they added a pathitic Scooby-Doo like chase with Japanese music in the background. Sure I liked seeing Raven and Starfire get grossed up and humiliated, but hey, I'm a guy. On a more serious note, the episode winds up where you learn Mad Mod is a really old man with a lot of deadly toys. In short: It was a lame excuse for an episode.
