Background Information
The episode is a loose parody of the novel Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert. Emma Bovary, the protagonist of that novel, also lives beyond her means to assuage a feeling of emptiness and dissatisfaction with her life.
This episode was aired on qubo around the Thanksgiving holiday in November 2006. The titular character was voiced by Chicago native Megan Moore Burns. This was the last episode produced by Chris Olsen. The next episode (Silly Sing-Along 2: The End of Silliness?) had Jon Gadsby take over.

Famous quotes containing the words background and/or information:
“Silence is the universal refuge, the sequel to all dull discourses and all foolish acts, a balm to our every chagrin, as welcome after satiety as after disappointment; that background which the painter may not daub, be he master or bungler, and which, however awkward a figure we may have made in the foreground, remains ever our inviolable asylum, where no indignity can assail, no personality can disturb us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“As information technology restructures the work situation, it abstracts thought from action.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
