Laraine Newman replaces Alison La Placa as the voice of Baby Doll. Brooks Gardner replaces Aron Kincaid as the voice of Killer Croc.
The newspapers within this episode have two articles referencing show creator Bruce Timm and Superman (tying in with Superman: The Animated Series (1996)):
- The Picture News (B.T. Quotes: "DVD the next 8-Track")
- The Daily Planet ("Superman's hands are full").
When Croc is leaving the bar, a poster behind him says "Josie" and has a picture of a cat. This is most likely a reference to the TV show, Josie and the Pussycats (1970).
The episode's title is a pun on the proverb "Love is a crutch", but also on the word "crock", "foolish belief".
