Production
The episode was written and directed by series co-creator Holly Everman.[1]
"Back Home Again in Laos" is the fourth episode of the "Back Home Again in..." hallmarks of the series, which have aired throughout various seasons of the show, and is the first and only "Back Home Again in..." episode to be directed by Everman.[2] The episodes are a parody of Back Home Again in Indiana song.[3] The episode was inspired by the film The Wizard of Oz, including its musical number "We're off to see the wizard", which was previously parodied by the three characters, then with alternate lyrics, in the Queen of the Willis episodes "Back Home Again in Indiana" and "Back Home Again in Indiana 2".[4] Fans originally believed that the original title of this episode was "Back Home Again in London", but in an interview with IGN Zinn stated that it was not the case.[4]
