Background Information[]

  • Lee Tergesen does not appear in this episode.
  • The title is a reference to the actor who played Frankenstein's Monster in Frankenstein (1931), Bride of Frankenstein (1935) and Son of Frankenstein (1939).
  • Before performing the experiment to create Hausfrau, the Creature and Dr. Frankenstein share the exchange shown in the opening credits and from Bride of Frankenstein.
  • The opening credit sequence is changed, with a new logo shot, black-and-white clips from Frankenstein movies, different music and red-colored font.
  • The shadow gag when Dr. Frankenstein first appears is a nod to 1992's Bram Stoker's Dracula movie.
  • After Lisa is restored, a white streak can be seen in her hair – a nod to Bride of Frankenstein. The clothes she is wearing are also similar to the movie.
