Riff Explained "Have Breakfast With Meeee!" - Joel  Cereal quips were popular during the Joel era. Kix, Quisp, Quake, have all been used as joke material. The riff above, said while Sir George spies on his royal highness, refers to a "King Vitaman" commercial. BTW: One of the Knights in Vitaman's court, was Sir Laffsitup, whose voice was provided by Paul Frees, the director of "The Beatniks" (Episode #415).
Stuff and Nonsense Gordon wanted to have the dragon breath real fire because an overlayed effect wouldn't have looked as authentic. Because of this he couldn't use a minature and actually built a dragon that was about 11 feet in height. On film he boosted the size of the beast so that it looked much larger.

A strange little fairy-tale from Bert I Gordon: Tells of a young knight (Gary Lockwood) who battles through 7 curses to save a princess from an evil wizard (Basil Rathbone), and his 2 headed dragon. A fun movie and weird, just like I Iikes 'em! I especially enjoyed sorceress Sybil's bald assistants (who provided this episodes stinger). Solid episode, well riffed, with few slow spots. Plus a couple of good skits; Frank gets too much radiation, and Crow sings a love song to Estelle Winwood (wonderfully aided by Servo). Oh, and Merrit Stone? He plays the 'Grady' like King (to answer Paul's question from the ACEG).
