TriviaEdit
- Get Smart concluded its 5-season, 2-network run with a repeat of "Apes Of Rath" on CBS, September 11, 1970. It was replaced by the short-lived medical drama The Interns.
Reality CheckEdit
- The title refers to the 1939 novel and 1940 film "The Grapes of Wrath".
- The episodes 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.
