Notes/trivia

• Eating Crow was originally intended to air on March 19, 2016, but Cartoon Network replaced it with Teen Titans Go! at the last minute; Boomerang also replaced what would've been their encore showing with a rerun of Gremlin on a Plane. Instead, it was briefly released on Xfinity.
• "Eating crow" is an American colloquial idiom, meaning humiliation by admitting wrongness or having been proven wrong after taking a strong position. Crow is presumably foul-tasting in the same way that being proven wrong might be emotionally hard to swallow.

Miscellaneous

• Disguises: Shaggy and Scooby as scarecrows; Dorothy and her friends from The Wizard of Oz; and crows.
• Daphneism: Wants a close pet/animal friendship like Shaggy has with Scooby.

Cultural references

• A farmer and wife at the farmer's market, resemble those in the American Gothic painting.
• Shaggy and Scooby fool the scarecrow into going down a fake yellow brick road like in the MGM film, The Wizard of Oz.

Animation mistakes and/or technical glitches

• None known.

Inconsistencies/continuity errors and/or goofs/oddities

• Colonel Jerkey is now spelt "Colonel Jerky" (which may be correct, but not consistent).
• "Farmers' market" is misspelled as "Farmer's market."
• Jonathan's name is also spelled "Johnathan" on the the surveyor's map, when it was already spelled the former's own produce stand banner and later in the end credits.
