* ArtisticLicenseSports: A mild case - the crew responds to the line "It's the Commissioner!" with "Pete Rozelle?" At the time the film was released (1959), the [[UsefulNotes/NationalFootballLeague NFL]] commissioner would've been Rozelle's predecessor, Bert Bell (Rozelle took over in 1960). At the time of the [=MST3K=] episode's airing (1997), Rozelle had long since been succeeded as commissioner by Paul Tagliabue (He'd also been dead for a year).
