 "Show Me the Monkey" was co-written by John Enbom and Robert Hull and directed by Nick Marck, marking Enbom's thirteenth writing credit and Hull's first writing credit for the show.As a joke in the episode's script, Enbom and Hull added the name of the lab worker who stole the monkey as "Gil Thomas Pardy", although his name is not mentioned directly in the episode.A condensed version of this name, Gil T. Pardy, is an intentional pun on "guilty party".
