## Trivia

* This is the first eleven-minute series premiere.
* This episode debuted on July 11, 2018 at San Diego Comic-Con. It was also previewed at TV Fest 2019.
	+ After the Comic-Con showing, the last two minutes were uploaded onto YouTube.
* Since this is the first episode produced, the animation is different than that of the rest of the series (the same animation as the pilot short), such as Peppa-Mint's sweater being a dark green instead of chartreuse, Donatina's hairline being raised up a little, Marsha Mello's dress being more of a shade of magenta/fuchsia than usual, Pickup Pup's skin color being browner than usual, Bunny Cart's dress being a slightly more desaturated shade than usual, and Cindy Pops' shoes being a lighter shade of blue than usual. This is probably due to Chris Savino's storyboarding of the episode.
* Not counting the pilot short, Peppa-Mint is the first person to speak in the series.
* Lexi Janicek, who portrays Peppa-Mint in live-action, considers Peppa-Mint's line, "Uh, hello. It's my first day." to be one of her favorite lines from the series.
* **Innuendo:** Cindy Pops orders everybody to back away from a glowing Rainbow Kate, implying the glowing is from radiation.

## International edits

* In the Latin American Spanish dub, Gloweos are named "Brillotita" (brillo-galletita).

## References

* ***First Day*** - The title of this episode means to not be informed of something usually because of carelessness.
	+ The title also shares its name with the 1984 song by Barbra Streisand.
* ***SpongeBob SquarePants*** - During a flashback of the girls fighting over the remote, the TV briefly shows lookalikes of SpongeBob and Patrick.
	+ ***KISS*** - On that same stage, there was a channel that offered a rock concert, where the members look vaguely similar to this rock band.
* ***Mondelez International*** - The name "Gloweo" is a portmanteau of "glow" and the Oreo brand of sandwich cookies.
* ***Twitter*** - Cindy Pops mentions this microblogging service.
* ***Polly and Her Pals*** - The title card resembles one of Cliff Sterrett's comics.
* ***The Human League*** - The track that plays in the flashback to Bunny Cart's swelled up face is similar to this English group's 1981 song "Don't You Want Me."

## Errors

* If Rainbow Kate's body was glowing from eating the Gloweos, her clothes should not have been glowing as well.
* Donatina's line, "Wait!", is said in her roommate's voice.
* When the twins scream about a ghost being in the basement, Jessicake's right arm and Marsha Mello's left arm are dislocated.
* When Beary Chill sees the "ghost" in the dark, she is holding a camera, but when she and her kids scream, the camera is gone.
* When Beary Chill jumps in the bucket of laundry, she has buckteeth rather than her chipped tooth.
* When Beary Chill jumps to the couch to grab the remote, her nose is badly drawn.
* In YTV airings, Cindy Pops' line, "Beary Chill, are you okay?", is misspelled in closed-captioning as "Lindsay, are you okay?".
* After Hunter Spector says "Join Me! Hunter Spector.", The text appeared on the screen that says "SPECTRE HUNTER." "Spector Hunter" was misspelled as "SPECTRE Hunter."
* When holding Apple Blossom in the basement, Kitty Scanner's shirt incorrectly has sleeves.
* When Beary Chill calls Pickup Pup on her walkie-talkie, Pickup Pup's face is different. But in one scene, it shows that Pickup Pup's face wasn't different when he comes inside Beary Chill's house for duty.
	+ This error also happened in "A Fair to Remember."
* Cindy Pops' phone is a different color in this episode.
* Debi Derryberry is credited for voicing The Friendship Chair, who is only mentioned.
