Episode Quotes

Mrs. Ezra Tweak: Ever spit on the flag?
Prof. Maximillian P. Arturo: Certainly not!
Quinn Michael Mallory: I-I-I-I'd never do a thing like that.
Mrs. Ezra Tweak: How do you feel about the war?
Quinn Michael Mallory: We - don't - follow it much. We have no opinion.
Mrs. Ezra Tweak: [Mouse trap clucks] I see - so you'd have me believe you are real non-political types, right? I won't allow any sympathizing under my roof, understand? This fight ain't just with the Aussies, if South Australia falls, it's jump a hop, skip and a jump to our shores.
Quinn Michael Mallory: Well, we can't have that. Boomerangs and kangaroos everywhere? What a nightmare!

tv commentator: The swarm is now reaching the outskirts of the deserted city. Given the mass of devastation in Southern California it's hard to imagine that anyone could be foolish enough to venture within a hundred miles from this place.
Prof. Maximillian P. Arturo: Of course! Who else could possibly be here but us - the happy wanderers!

Prof. Maximilian Arturo: Impudent yahoos!

Trivia

The title refers to The Summer of Love when in 1967 thousands of hippies converged on the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood of San Francisco, creating a phenomenon of cultural and political rebellion which spread across all of North America.
Was the first episode filmed after the pilot movie and was to have a scene where Quinn altered the timer to countdown to the next Slide. This scene was changed when the episode aired later in the season. In the final version, Quinn is just rebuilding the "overworked" timer, but the countdown function remained for the rest of the series.
