Trivia[]

Babysitter Incorrect Blouse Color

The babysitter with her blouse completely turquoise. A notable mistake by the animators.

  • When the babysitter first appears, her blouse is completely turquoise, but the sleeves and collar change to yellow for the rest of the episode she appears in.
  • When the babysitter dials the number to call Marcie, clearly five digits are being heard and pressed with her index finger, and then she starts the conversation. However, calls are only completed if seven digits are dialed for local calls; and on the other hand, pressing 1 and then the three digit area code is required first for distant calls.
  • The babysitter's lips shift style in between animations:  single lined to double-lined where she looks as if she had on lipstick and vice-versa, but never wore lipstick at all.
  • The number of fingers on her hands also shift between animations: three fingers to four fingers and vice-versa.
  • Many fans believe that the babysitter is based on Jeannie from the classic Tom and Jerry short, as both seems to be both good babysitters who promised to watch over the baby but as soon as the parents leave They Run to the phone and call their friend. Both are also unaware of the babies action and blames Tom when they believe he took the baby off the crib.
