Why would Mudd want to leave a planet where he could have anything he wanted all of the time?
Seems like the place made for him.

One of my favorite of the comedic episodes. Its great to see Mudd again.
I love this exchange -
The goofiness at the end of the episode is fun, too. I especially get a kick out of the crew "phasering" Scotty.
And with 500 Stella models to keep watch over him, the planet becomes the perfect prison for Mudd.
I love this exchange -

MUDD: Worse than that. Do know what the penalty for fraud is on Deneb Five?
SPOCK: The guilty party has his choice. Death by electrocution, death by gas, death by phaser, death by hanging.
MUDD: The key word in your entire peroration, Mister Spock, was, death. Barbarians. Well, of course, I left.
KIRK: He broke jail.
MUDD: I borrowed transportation.
KIRK: He stole a spaceship.
MUDD: The patrol reacted in a hostile manner.
KIRK: They fired at him.
MUDD: They've no respect for private property. They damaged the bloody spaceship. Well, I got away, but I couldn't navigate, so I wandered out through unmapped space, and here I found Mudd

It was a rare scene for a large number of regular cast members to have a moment off the bridge. Sometimes a show is more enjoyable when you can just tell that the people making it are having a good time.
This episode looks to be one of these.

*THE TROUBLE WITH TRIBBLES*
Klingons, Tribbles, Espionage and a bar fight.
One of, if not the most "fun" episode in all of TOS.
William Campbell returns - this time as a different kind of Klingon Captain - Koloth. More devious, but less hard and cruel than Kor, Koloth was just supposed to stall and occupy Kirk's attention.
Great performances by a robust guest cast - in addition to Campbell, there was William Schallert as Nilz Baris, a Federation bureaucrat, Whit Bissell as Mr. Lurry, an embattled station master, and Stanley Adams as Cyrano Jones, a trader with questionable ethics. Charlie Brill, as Arne Darvin, Baris' yes-man assistant was also excellent.
In addition, the almost unknown at the time, Michael Pataki's Korax (who, along with Michael Ansara's Kang, in my opinion, most strongly influenced the post-Advent Klingons of TSFS, TNG and beyond) was one of the most memorable Klingons from TOS - particularly other than the Captains.
Finally, veteran television actor Guy Raymond's K-7 bartender is another memorable character from this episode.
Probably my favorite light-hearted episode in all of Star Trek history.

I think the trouble with tribbles is among the greatest star trek episodes of all time across all versions of star trek.
It had every element you wanted; action, adventure, humor, politics, intrigue a bar room brawl, and Klingons, lots and lots of Klingons. The Deep Space 9 take on it was nearly as good.

Oh yeah, I think this episode was one of the "Shatner" at his best as Kirk episodes. As many times as I have seen all the TOS episodes I always stop whatever I am doing and rewatch this if its on TV. Simply brilliant.

Bashir: "Those are Klingons?"
Waitress: "All right. You boys have had enough."
Odo: "Mister Worf?"
Worf: "They are Klingons, and it is a long story."
O'Brien: "What happened? Some kind genetic
engineering?"
Bashir: "A viral mutation?"
Worf: "We do not discuss it with outsiders."
To tell a Midnight family secret - I watched all of DS9 to get to that episode, in the first place - and on the way fell in love with the vagabond crew of the "floating gas station".
(DS9 remains my second favorite Trek series - precisely because they chose to stand on the shoulders of TOS, rather than discard it to the rubbish heap.)

I want to say they have it on netflix. I can't remember off the top of my head though.

I believe an ep of Enterprise touched on this...

The canon answer is supposedly covered, in full, on Enterprise.
However, I have only seen a handful of Enterprise episodes. Mrs. Midnight are getting to the point where we lost track of Voyager - Season 4 or thereabouts. After that - all we'll have left is Enterprise.

Shatner seemed overly pissed the whole episode. Oddly so.
I wonder if he thought the story was below him or if they told him to act that way but he was clearly pissy the whole episode.
Might just be they told him to act like grain detail was below what a starship captain should be doing and he just took it to Shatnerian heights.
Either way, his pissy attitude was out of character and it stood out when I rewatched it recently.
There were several episodes where all they were doing was delivering medicine and he never complained.

During production, he was covered in over 500 tribbles at least 8 times...
