## Trivia

* This is the first time that the Dillydale Zoo was featured. It is mentioned in Wildlife.
* This episode took place before Garages, because Miss Chatterbox didn't know how to drive a car, but in Garages, she has a car.
* Mr. Quiet's house was almost destroyed by Miss Whoops in Flying, Now it *did* get destroyed by Miss Whoops.

### Dub edits

* When Mr. Stubborn says "I've been hammering nails since I was a baby!", the word "wee" was added in the dub.
* When Mr. Stubborn tells Mr. Bump to stop lying down, he says "These break of yours irratate me!" in the US version and "Get up, and stop being so lazy!" in the UK version.
* In the US version, when Miss Calamity gets to the outhouse, she says "Relief is on the way!". In the UK version, she says "Oh, finally, I found a loo!"
* When Miss Calamity's restroom is on the ground again, she says "Oh that's better!" before kissing the ground, a line not present in the original.
* "Scraping the Skylines" is sung by Mr. Grumpy rather than Mr. Bump.

### Goofs

* Mr. Stubborn's barn was brown in his plot, but at the very end, when it falls apart, it is red and has a door.
* Just before Mr. Bump and Mr. Stubborn's plot, in the bumper, just as the Little Miss Helpful transition begins, Mr. Quiet and Mr. Scatterbrain's hat blend in with the plot's background.
* The synopsis said that Miss Whoops was using a wrecking ball when in the actual segment, she used a bulldozer.
