  • Actor Roger Carmel reprised his role of Harry Mudd by providing the voice of the animated Harry Mudd.
  • There is a page in this site devoted to the Heavy Shuttlecraft used by Harry Mudd and Nurse Chapel in this episode.
  • There was a visual error in this episode: one scene showed Nurse Chapel wearing a uniform with a black collar.
  • Another visual error in this episode showed Spock with his insignia on the wrong side of his tunic.
  • This episode had a very large role for Nurse Chapel, who usually had very little to do in both the original and animated series.
  • A VHS video tape containing "Mudd's Passion" and "One of Our planets Is Missing" is available for purchase from amazon.com, the online bookseller.
  • "Mudd's Passion" was novelized by Alan Dean Foster in Star Trek Log Three published by Ballantine Books in January 1975. Also novelized in the book was "The Magicks of Megas-Tu" and "Once Upon a Planet".
