Nicholson, who, for some reason, is unwilling to license the films in any format. As a result, this episode is unlikely to get a release anytime soon. It originally got a VHS release back in 1996, but was pulled almost immediately when the Nicholson Estate complained. It is now a collector's item.

** What makes Susan Hart unique from the other copyright holders Creator/ShoutFactory has had trouble dealing with is the sheer ''lengths'' she goes to ensure absolutely ''no one'' uses her films in any way. Not only has she adamantly refused to let Shout! Factory publish the episodes featuring them, but she has in the past hired professional lawyers and ''private investigators'' to infiltrate sci-fi conventions across the country to make sure none of them use any of her films. There are at least four cases of her attempting to sue major television program companies (such as A&E and Discovery) simply because they used ''trailers'' of her films.
