Trivia[]
- B, F, G, I, J, N, Q, U, V, W, X, Y, and Z are absent in this episode.
- O is the only vowel who made a cameo in this episode.
- C, D, M, R, S, T, and digraphs SH and TH only say their sound in this episode.
- This is the only Long Vowel Song to have digraph TH.
- H doesn't speak in this episode. She isn't heard panting.
- Two digraphs which spell the long "e" sound are EY (as in Key) and IE (as in Goalie). Both digraphs could have appeared in this episode; but the long-vowel songs written for Alphablocks can teach only three spellings per sound (each verse demonstrates a different spelling, with three rhyming examples in the lyrics).
- No words are made with K.
- This is the only Long Vowel Song to have a word with 6 phonemes (compete).
- This is also the only Long Vowel episode with a title that doesn't end in a silent e.
- This is also the only Long Vowel episode to not include G.
- This episode and the Numberblocks episode "Another One" aired on Halloween 2017.
- This is the second episode in which P appears as a capital letter beginning a proper name (Bo Peep); she also does this in Outlaw when I temporarily gets renamed "Paul".
