Quotes
Red: Okay, okay, okay, let's get some order around here! Now... weight problems, that line over there. Silly problems, that line way over there. Personal problems, that line over there. If you're not having any fun, it would be that line over there. You look like you're not having any fun, why don't you go over there.

Fraggle Facts
In the early episodes of the series, Marjory the Trash Heap came off as a humbug with no real power, but by the end of the first season, she displayed real magical abilities. She makes all the radishes disappear in The Great Radish Famine, and appears in a vision to Wembley and Gobo in The Beast of Blue Rock. In this episode, she appears in the Fraggles' dreams.
Notes
Phil Balsam wrote the lyrics for almost every Fraggle Rock song. This episode is the only one in which Balsam's voice appears in the broadcast, as the guitar-playing Phil Fraggle singing "Easy is the Only Way to Go".
