A Sight for Sore Eyes/Trivia

==Trivia==
*For comedic effect, Nutty's lawnmower makes actual dog panting noises, foreshadowing The Mole mistaking it for his seeing-eye dog.
*This is the first TV episode that mainly focuses on The Mole, despite him co-starring with Russell.
*This is the only episode to show Sniffles' house when Sniffles is not the starring character.
*Sniffles has a Splendid figurine in his workroom, referencing the fact that he is a fan of Splendid.
*This episode marks the second time that Sniffles is seen without his glasses on. The first is in Tongue Twister Trouble.
*This is the only known episode where Russell speaks clear English. In every other episode, he either screams or "yar"s.
*The dog Lumpy gives to The Mole is Whistle from Doggone It in a different color.
*This episode shows that Nutty seeing brightly colored objects as candy is a physical problem rather than a mental problem. He has previously been seen mistaking brightly colored objects (Christmas lights) for candy in Stealing the Spotlight.
*This episode marks the first time The Mole dies without it being at least partially caused by another character.
*To date, this is the only regular episode in which Russell stars and survives.
**By contrast, it is one of only three in which The Mole stars and dies, the others being Spare Tire and Don't Yank My Chain.
*This is the third (and, to date, latest) episode in which a character is killed by a lawn mower. The other two are Chip Off the Ol' Block (Cub), and Remains to be Seen (Russell, Lifty, Shifty, and Generic Tree Friends).
*There are no female characters in this episode, if one doesn't count Mittens.
*This is one of the few episodes that Cuddles survives.
*This is one of the few episodes in which Russell's eyepatch and hook never switch positions.
*An ant farm can be seen in Sniffles' house, which is ironic considering that he is a predator of ants. It could be possible that he is studying the ants to find their weaknesses to catch them and eat them more easily. It could also be a possibility that Sniffles keeps the ants as a "backup snack" in case he fails and survives to catch ants.
*When Lumpy calls Russell in, Lumpy clearly says "Who's next?". 
*Russell may be right-handed, judging by him using his hook, which is on his right hand, to put the contact in.
*This is one of the few TV episodes to focus on a specific part of the body (in this case, the eyes). The others are Hear Today, Gone Tomorrow (ears), A Change of Heart (heart), and Chew Said a Mouthful (jaw).
*The killer turtle (Toothy's Tortoise) seen in this episode would later appear again in Letter Late than Never and Junk in the Trunk.
*Even though he is already dead by the time it happens, Sniffles is somewhat posthumously responsible for Nutty's death due to his airplane still flying.
*All the characters in this episode except for Handy, Cuddles, and Lumpy are shown to have vision problems. 
*This episode shows that Sniffles is nearsighted when his glasses are cut in half.
*This is one of the few episodes that briefly shows what Sniffles looks like without his glasses.
*Russell has an interest for kites in this episode alone.
*The YouTube thumbnails spoil the following:
**The current thumbnail for Part 1 spoils Toothy's death.
**The former thumbnail for Part 2 spoils Nutty's injury before death. The current one outright spoils his death.
*In the waiting room at the optometrist's, there is a picture of human-like eye.
*What is ironic at the beginning of this episode is the fact that everything in The Mole's house requires vision: a painting of a palm tree, two giant bookshelves, a magazine rack, a pair of binoculars, and a telescope.
*This is one of the rare times where a character's (in this case, Toothy's) brain is exposed while they remain alive.
*This episode marks the fifth instance of Toothy suffering an eye injury.
**Most of the characters in this episode suffer the same injury, as in their eyes being cut.
* Giggles is the only primary character to not appear in this episode.
* When Lumpy is choosing a guide pet to give to The Mole, there is a pink cat on the left who looks like Mittens. This may be a reference to Milkshake from The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, as the cat resembles Milkshake.
==Cultural References==
*The title of this episode means to see something you are glad to see.
==Superlatives==
*Sniffles' injury is similar to the victims of the truck crash in Remains to be Seen, Russell and Flaky's deaths in Happy New Year, Toothy's death in Breaking Wind, and Truffles' death in An Inconvenient Tooth.
*Sniffles' death is similar to Lumpy's injury and death in Concrete Solution.
*Toothy's injury is similar to Giggles injury from the Just Plane Silly comic.
*Nutty's death is similar to Lumpy's deaths in Breaking Wind, Sea What I Found, and Happy New Year and Pop's death in Going Out With a Bang.
==Continuity==
*There is an article about Lumpy in the newspaper The Mole is reading. There is also an article about Lumpy in the paper in A Change of Heart, in which, like in this episode, he played a doctor.
*The eyeball Lumpy pulls out of the bio-hazard bin is briefly seen in A Hole Lotta Love amongst Cuddles' garbage.
==Production Notes==
*When this episode was aired along with Wipe Out! and Letter Late than Never on YouTube, the title for the conglomeration of segments was "Ten Speed" (originally called "Going Ten Crazy"). Lumpy and Cuddles appear in all three episodes. Lumpy dies twice, while Cuddles dies only once.
*According to the cast commentary on the TV Series DVD Vol. 4, the crew reveals that Toothy's injury with the paper plane was a gag they planned for years.
