Trivia

• At the time of its completion, this was the highest quality Lazy Bear film to date…sort of. It was shot entirely on DV, but to make it appear to be a 1920’s silent film, the screen was tinted sepia and several bits of grain and dust were added, defeating the purpose of the high resolution format. The Package would later be the first Lazy Bear film to be both shot and edited digitally.
• There has been some confusion as to where this film fits in Lazy Bear chronology, but since Dr. Logan dies in Blender Agenda and is very much alive here, we can assume this is a prequel. Where it fits in relation to Holiday Problems! and Dr. Love Strikes Out is unclear.
• Logan’s mother’s van served as the official transportation of the movie. It was credited as the “LoveWagon”. For Logan’s sophomore year of college he was given the van.
• The same library and office locations from Blender Agenda were used, thanks to a return trip to the Brentwood Library.
• Logan was inspired to write Dr. Logan’s Day Out after hearing about a short film called “Picnic” made by Sam Raimi who was in turn inspired by the Three Stooges. All three artists used slapstick and pie fights abundantly. Logan was further inspired upon seeing the shack that would be used in the film. It really was in the vicinity of the Brentwood Library. Logan was walking his wiener dog past the old Blender Agenda set one day, when he spotted the abandoned hovel that had apparently been a spring house. This sparked an idea and the rest is history.
• DELETED SCENES:

• Dr. Logan runs into the library to fetch a chair for Wanda. He brings back a chair with a kid sitting in it, whom he removes.
• Dr. Logan locks his keys in the car in the opening scene.

• Behind the scene photographs available on the Image Gallery page and a special behind-the-scenes video were shot by Olivia Lee, production assistant and Logan’s sister.
• The Dr. Logan glasses were broken during filming when either Logan or Ryan stepped on them. The Lazy Bear Players would have just chalked this up to Dr. Logan’s hobo look, but unfortunately, the accident occurred before the opening shots had been filmed. These shots had to feature a neat and tidy Dr. Logan. Different methods were used to make the glasses appear in tact in the early scenes, and Logan gestures toward the missing lens after being thrown into the shack to indicate that this is the point they are broken. New gold-rimmed glasses were purchased for Dr. Love Strikes Out.
• Matt the Library Guy from Blender Agenda makes a cameo appearance. When Dr. Logan first approaches his office and sees the eviction notice, Matt pushes a cart of books by in the background. Notice he’s grown a goatee since last we saw him.
• Dr. Logan reads Love Byte, the book from the library montage in Blender Agenda, as he walks toward his office. Love Byte disappeared soon after filming.
• Dr. Logan’s box of personal effects as seen on the floor in front of his office contains a toy Godzilla, a copy of the script, Love Byte (which actually jumps around several times during the film), Dr. Logan’s glasses (which are supposed to be on his face), a Chia Mr. T which Ryan later grew unsuccessfully due to a CURSE on this film, a bottle of water marked with an L to distinguish it as Logan’s (Logan is seen drinking from it in the behind-the-scenes video), a Dr. Logan Doll made by Ryan from a Ken doll and other assorted accessories and given to Logan for his birthday, the purple lamp from Dr. Logan’s secret lab in Blender Agenda, Dr. Logan’s unsigned doctor of loooooove certificate, giant prop glasses, a hammer, and an “Army of Darkness” DVD as a reference to Blender Agenda.
• The sign on Dr. Logan’s door was made to resemble as closely as possible the sign on his door in Blender Agenda. Like in Blender Agenda, no one remembered to bring tape, so the sign was held up by wetting it with water from Logan’s water bottle.
• Ryan can also be seen reading Love Byte. Due to its low quality, he skips several pages.
• Ryan wears the same shirt he wore as Joel Schumacher and Beachtree Bert in Logan and Ryan’s Wacky Comedy Hour.
• Contrary to popular belief, that is NOT Dr. Logan on Love Byte’s cover.
• Although we’ve shot countless footage in the Brentwood Library with no authorization, we did obtain permission for Ryan to sit at the reference desk.
• Since the door on the shack would never stay closed, all shots of the door closing were done by either Olivia, our production assistant, holding the door, or Ryan freeze framing it later in editing.
• The keys Ryan gives Dr. Logan are Logan’s car keys. The elastic thing that Ryan and Logan hold them by is a Lazy Bear keychain.
• The screen reading “Here’s your oranges!” and the resulting hail of fruit thrown at Dr. Logan is a reference to a scene from “Under the Influence”, a 1986 alcohol prevention TV movie starring Keanu Reeves and Andy Griffith. In the movie, drunk Griffith gets mad at drunk Keanu. Keanu asks for a beer, and Griffith yells something to the effect of “Sure, you want a beer? Here’s your beer!” and begins to chuck cans of brew and anything else he finds in the fridge at Keanu. Ryan, Logan, and Lazy Bear Player Kyle Coker saw this movie at Brentwood High School and thought the scene was hilarious. The use of “The Andy Griffith Show” theme, the only non-ragtime music used, is another reference to Griffith.
• GOOF: Dr. Logan’ shack apparently came with a copy of the script, as one can be seen on the shelf in the 360 degree pan of the room.
• The shack was even worse than it looks on screen. The light switch had been ripped out, the telephone line was nonfunctional, shards of glass stuck up from the broken windows and from where a light bulb used to be, and best of all, several bullet holes had been shot through the door. Logan narrowly avoided slicing his hand open when he rested it on the window sill.
• The rubber bat that attacks Dr. Logan was originally a squirrel but Ryan already had the bat.
• The 360 degree shot of the shack is a reference to Evil Dead.
• GOOF: The nail used to hang the certificate is actually a screw. The screw is hammered straight through the back of Dr. Logan’s hand but in the long shot, it’ simply between his fingers.
• Wanda, the French maid, is telephoned in Blender Agenda, and referenced in the credits of Logan and Ryan’s Wacky Comedy Hour. She is Lazy Bear Productions' resident “lady of the evening” character. Krystal Tapia, a friend of Logan and Ryan’s was offered the part of Wanda. She was so excited about the film that she said she would buy a French maid outfit for the occasion. Unfortunately, like so many girls in our lives, she failed to show and Ryan in a nightgown and Blossom hat had to suffice.
• Lyle Bunco, the traveling salesman was originally going to be Sid Sheplar from Logan’s Talent Agency, but since the sparkly jacket was unavailable, he was dropped. Ryan plays both characters and little difference exists between the two, though Lyle is more low key than Sid. It’s no great loss though, as the funniest part of Sid is his accent and this was a silent film.
• During Lyle’s lines, Ryan was just saying whatever popped into his head, knowing that the audio wouldn’t be used. One line, “And if you eat a lot of food you’ll get FAT and rich like me!” cracks Logan up every time.
• When Dr. Logan is uninterestedly listening to Lyle Bunco, he looks at his wrist to check his watch and realizes he doesn’t have one. This same bit was used in Holiday Problems!, it’s an homage to Chevy Chase.
• The Lazy Bear writers DO realize that if Dr. Logan was starving he shouldn’t have thrown two pies at Lyle Bunco. It’s a joke, kids.
• Logan did in fact throw his jeans into the creak for this film. Though he was wearing shorts, they were rolled up quite high. He spent a good part of the shoot effectively pantsless.
• GOOF: Dr. Logan loses his glasses briefly while reeling in his pants.
• The editing process involved first creating a color and sound version of the film (though not all scenes were filmed with sound), then dubbing that version on to a separate tape with the silent film affects applied. The color and sound version accidentally contains a frame or two of a football game in between shots of the Kindly Old Library Fisherman teaching Dr. Logan how to cast. Logan supported keeping this in the final cut as a subliminal message, but Ryan took it out. However, the version with the football players still exists.
• Olivia, our production assistant, does an uncredited cameo as the jogger.
• The shot of Kyle during the end credits was of his newscaster character from Logan and Ryan’s Wacky Comedy Hour.
• To change into pantsless Dr. Logan, Logan ended up doing a strip tease for the children’s section of the library who was watching him through a large window. (Relax, folks, he was wearing shorts.)
• The rubber chicken in the pants was scripted as a rubber fish, but once again, Ryan already had the chicken. Giving it to the messenger boy as a tip was improvised.
• The table Dr. Logan tips over at the end of the movie was quite heavy, so Ryan crouched below the camera and pushed it. While Logan played with the two books, Ryan whispered “Kiss!” from under the table, suggesting that he make the books kiss. Just another memory you’ll never have unless you make movies.
• The sound of Dr. Logan falling as the screen fades to black, the only sound in the movie, is lifted from Logan running into the trash can at the beginning of Holiday Problems!
• Wanda’s last name, Cumgetsome, was first created on Ask Logan, Logan’s former Yahoo! online club that many Lazy Bear staffers frequented. It occasionally appears as the more family friendly Comegetsome. Also on Ask Logan, Ryan revealed Wanda’s given surname to be Hotmonkeyluvowski.
• The ragtime music for the film was donated by Neil Skalitzky, a teacher of Logan and Ryan’s, and collector of all things historical.
• The unofficial soundtrack of the production consisted of Spacehog’s “The Hogyssey” album and “Rocky Horror International”, an album of songs from “The Rocky Horror Show” performed in several different languages by casts from all over the world. These were the CDs most often listened to on the way to or from filming, particularly Spacehog’s “At Least I Got Laid”, and the Spanish Rocky Horror cast’s “Toca Toca Toca Toca”.
• Mayor Thomas M. Paige is thanked in the end credits. This is Lazy Bear Player Tommy Paige. The title of mayor is in reference to his name being given to the mayor in Lazy Bear Productions’ first play Cost of Living.
• This is the first film to feature a plug for this website in the end credits.
• The P.O. Box listed for Dr. Logan’s lost pants in the credits is the actual Lazy Bear P.O. Box as listed at the bottom of each page of this site.
• During the credits, a screen reading “Hey, where was my favorite Lazy Bear character, Kyle?” followed by a short scene of Kyle. Kyle was indeed voted most popular Lazy Bear character in an online poll on Logan Lee and the Dorkies.
