Notes[]
- The premise of one of Jerry's family members coming over to help him out/posing as him is tried and true plot, but one may be surprised to learn that this is the only time this show used the idea.
- This premise is similar to that of Timid Tabby.
- Jerry's cousin is the one who called the pig over, after all he does come from a farm, however if a viewer pays close attention to the continuity they'll notice that Jerry should be the one in his cousin's place. In fact, the subtitles for the Boomerang app incorrectly states that the line "Suey!" is being shouted by Jerry.
- This was the episode included on The Deluxe Anniversary Collection, meaning that it must have been one of the one most liked episodes of The Tom and Jerry Comedy Show, hence it's the first episode of The Tom and Jerry Comedy Show that is released on any home media format because the next one, Snowbrawl, was included on the Tom and Jerry: Snowman's Land DVD.
- Jerry's Country Cousin in theory can be Muscles Mouse possibly because his suitcase has a "M" which might stand for Muscles (or more likely for mouse) and they defended themselves from cats with ease. However the country cousin could just be a reference to Muscles as Muscles’ attire is a green bowler hat and yellow long sleeved shirt with a stripe whereas the country cousin instead has a straw hat. The country cousin also has a more cheekier facial look looking more similar to Jerry with Muscles having a more grumpy facial expression and the country cousin more clever whereas muscles is more violent. Whether they are the same mouse with alterations, two different mice that are related, or in different sides of Jerry’s family is unconfirmed.
- Tom's owner in the episode is somewhat similar to Mammy Two Shoes.
- Jerry and his country cousin do what what George and Tom tricked Jerry making the mouse go to a home for disturbed mice, in this episode the country cousin got Tom to go to an animal shelter in a similar manner.
- Jerry writing "STINKY" on a chalk board gag was referenced in this episode from Quiet Please!.
