Commentary:

John DeCarli: Here's another season one episode which shows some concern about being discovered while undercover. In this case,it's Hanson who may be discovered if he goes on TV. Otherwise, this one seems notable for introducing two continuity devices: the first appearance of "Rocket Dog", and the first time Penhall says, "move it, monkeys." I'm not sure why Hanson doesn't drive his Mustang here; maybe because the car he is driving needs to be towed away (by Ioki) later? And I hope the writer who came up with the name "Hoagy Delleplant" got a bonus added to his weekly paycheck- even Hanson and Ioki giggle about it.
