Trivia[]

  • A takeoff on the 1968 20th Century-Fox classic, Planet of the Apes. (Coincidentally, NBC aired an animated adaptation of the film on its Saturday Morning schedule which came on a little after The New Tom & Jerry/Grape Ape Show on ABC in 1975-76: the short-lived DePatie-Freleng production Return To The Planet Of The Apes.)
  • Joe E. Ross takes over for Don Messick as the voice of Spike in this episode.
  • An important lesson about prejudice can be learned in this episode.
  • Animation in this cartoon of Tom, Jerry and Spike jumping into and out of garbage cans resembles that in Episode #80-09, "Gopher Broke."
  • The Great One is the only dog on the whole planet Dogstar with regular-color fur.
  • "Planet Of The Dogs" recycles underscore first used in The Herculoids and Birdman.
  • This cartoon is a parody of Planet of the Apes.
  • In this episode Spike is referred to as "Dogface" in this episode.
    • Probably an insulting nickname someone gives to Spike which hates.
