Fearless Leader touts the Advise-a-Vac (a boxlike "mechanical brain" device wearing a homburg hat and sitting on a park bench) as "Pottsylvania's answer to Bernard Baruch". Bernard Baruch (1870-1965) was a successful early-twentieth-century Wall Street financier who became a prominent government adviser on economic matters and international affairs, particularly to President Woodrow Wilson during and after World War I, and Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman during and after World War II (specializing in war mobilization of industry and peace terms). Baruch was known to discuss government affairs while sitting on park benches in Washington, D.C.,'s Lafayette Park and New York City's Central Park.
During the montage of newspaper headlines concerning Rocky and Bullwinkle, the voices yelling "Extra!" are not the usual newsboy voices provided in prior episodes by June Foray or Paul Frees. Instead, the voices sound like old men and the audio recordings are noticeably less polished than the normal voice work on the series.
While receiving emergency supplies on the island of Moosylvania, Rocky finds a coupon for a free emergency appendix operation, courtesy of Dr. Kildare. Popular medical drama Dr. Kildare (1961) (starring Richard Chamberlain in the title role) aired on NBC, the same network that broadcast The Bullwinkle Show (1959).
Breaking with a tradition throughout most of the preceding episodes of The Bullwinkle Show (1959) and The Bullwinkle Show (1959), neither "Moosylvania Saved" installment (Parts 1 and 2) offers punny titles for the next chapter at the cliffhanger ending.
