Trivia[]

  • After yielding 5 seasons' worth of 138 KAO-tic missions that began on NBC, the heavy iron doors within the hallowed halls of CONTROL were shut forever on Get Smart on Friday, September 11, 1970, with a repeat of "Apes Of Rath" on CBS. It was replaced by the short-lived medical drama The Interns.

Reality Check[]

  • The title refers to the 1939 novel and 1940 film "The Grapes of Wrath".
  • The episode's closing scenes parody those of the 1933 film "King Kong" in which a giant ape carries the leading lady to the top of New York's Empire State Building.
