Trivia

This episode have similarities with the episode "be careful what you wish for" from Cow and Chicken series.
- Both episodes start with a character (Eustace / Chicken) being rude with other (Muriel / Cow), causing that the latters became mute, to the point of refuse to talk anyone. Also, the rude characters got their comeuppance later in the episode (Eustace is gagged and scolded by Muriel / Chicken get jailed by a lost lawsuit about a car accident), and Muriel as Cow only talks again in the end of the episodes.
Shirley's saxophone used in this episode is golden, unlike in The Curse of Shirley episode it was silver. It is more likely that she either owns two saxophones, or she upgraded it from Courage's golden eggs laid by him.

-** Chicken and eaustace get a commeupance for their early actions and cruel treatment toward cow and muriel: chicken suffered an accident to be run over for a truck, and cow is the only witness of this accident, but due to that she is still mute, cow cannot give her testimony properly, causing that the court case ends with chicken arrested and jailed for 50 years. Eaustace for caused that his wife became mute, muriel don't even show interest in do her chores, like cooks the breakfast, forcing to eaustace to buy his meal, much to his chagrin, and also in the end of the episode, courage had the mouth of eaustace gagged, thus silenced him to avoid that he could counter or reply to muriel when she was scolding him for his bad attitude.
-** Cow and muriel are mute for most of the episodes, and both talks again to the final parts: cow talks again after that chicken, whom spent 50 years in the jail, apologize her for be rude, making that cow forgives him and she would talks again. Muriel talks again after courage put his life in the line to make her talk to save his life, and unlike chicken, Eustace never apologize with Muriel for his rudeness, instead he was scolded by muriel for it and gagged to be mute during the lecture.
