Episode Cast and Crew Details »

• The likeness of Wade on his inner tube doesn't start snoring in synch with Wade until the close-up. [edit]
• The "wife" worm is seen knitting something, but this is impossible, considering the worms clearly do not have hands. [edit]

• The Inner tube joke was an actual comic strip from U.S. Acres dated 11-6-86. [edit]
• Marks the first episode in which Wade's inner tube is off him. [edit]
• The worms have a Hole Sweet Hole plaque on their wall. [edit]

• Orson: Booker will never chase another worm again.
  Booker: (sings) The worm, the worm I like the worm, though it may not come naturally, it's so real to see that this worm especially, gets a (rolls up the worm and kicks him) big kick out of me! Crawl worm!
  Wade: Well it was nice while it lasted. [edit]
• (after Roy pumps up Wade's inner tube to be really big)
  Wade: I have shrunk down tiny!
  Orson: Stop that, Wade, you're the same size as I am.
  Wade: You shrunk too, Orson? Oh no! And look! The farm's my size too, and the trees, and your friend here too! We've all shrunk-ed! [edit]
• Booker: HELP! Someone get me down! [edit]

• The episode's title The Worm Turns, may be a take on the soap opera's title "As the World Turns". [edit]
