Mike Judge described his original conception of Hank Hill as a "Foghorn Leghorn" type.
Luanne is depicted as having automotive knowledge here, something that would repeat in few episodes later, only for this aspect of her character to disappear permanently by the end of the season as they decided to turn Luanne into a stereotypical dumb blonde.
Luanne claims the incident between her parents is going to be on Real Stories of the Highway Patrol (1993). This television series actually exists.
Compared to later seasons, the animation quality is considerably more crude. In fact, the animation quality of the earlier episodes is not very different from that of Mike Judge's previous television series, Beavis and Butt-Head (1993).
In the Spanish dub, instead of Hank, Dale, Bill, and Boomhauer talking about Seinfeld (1989), they talk about Beavis and Butt-Head (1993).
