* PoorlyDisguisedPilot: "Fraidy Cat Lion" is the only ''Snagglepuss'' short to feature WesternAnimation/MrAndMrsJEvilScientist, who otherwise appear in ''WesternAnimation/SnooperAndBlabber'' shorts. And they take up a good chunk of the episode, just like they do in the other shorts. Ultimately, the Scientists did not an animated show, but they did get a comic book series.
