According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

I had no idea what I was in for with Gori: Cuddly Carnage when I jumped in to review it. It looked like a neon-bedazzled game about a cute cat riding a cool hoverboard through a towering city. What it is, instead, is a blood-soaked, foul-mouthed maelstrom of sick jumps, rainbow rail-grinding, and unicorn-mangling hack-and-slash combat. It’s not perfect, especially when it gets a little annoying trying to be edgy, but this is a surprisingly good action hack-and-slash romp that handles all of its gameplay elements with solid quality.

His duties included overseeing the mummification process and weighing the hearts of the deceased against the feather of Ma'at, the goddess of truth. This determined whether a soul was worthy of entering the afterlife. Anubis's significance in Egyptian culture cannot be overstated, as he ensured the dead received proper rites and a fair judgment.
