It premiered on the Fox network on September 24, 1993. "Squeeze" was written by Glen Morgan and James Wong and directed by Harry Longstreet. The episode featured the first of two guest appearances by Doug Hutchison as the mutant serial killer Eugene Victor Tooms—Hutchison would reprise the role in the later episode "Tooms". "Squeeze" is the first "monster-of-the-week" episode of the series, a stand-alone plot which is unconnected to the series` wider mythology.
