- TriviaThe image on BoJack's phone for when Mr. Peanutbutter calls him is a red fire hydrant.
- GoofsOf all the awards Temple Grandin (2010) won, a People's Choice Award wasn't one of them, so it's impossible for Mr. Peanutbutter to have that award for it. However, this show is clearly set in an alternate reality with talking animals playing a significant part of the entertainment industry, so variations in awards compared to the real world are to be expected.

Featured review
BoJack Horseman takes a darkly comedic look at child stardom
In "Prickly Muffin," the third episode of BoJack Horseman, the show takes a darkly comedic look at the world of child stardom and the psychological toll it can take on young actors. When BoJack is unexpectedly visited by a former child co-star, Sarah Lynn (voiced by Kristen Schaal), he is forced to confront his own complicated past and the ways in which he may have contributed to her troubled present.
One of the strengths of the episode is its use of humor to tackle serious subject matter. The show has never shied away from exploring dark themes, and in "Prickly Muffin," we see this in the way the episode examines the damaging effects of fame and the entertainment industry on young people. At the same time, the episode is also funny, with moments of biting satire and clever wordplay.
Another strength of the episode is its character development. We see BoJack struggling with his own demons as he tries to reconcile his past actions with his current desire to do better. Similarly, Sarah Lynn is a complex and interesting character, with her own struggles and flaws that are explored in depth over the course of the episode.
However, the episode does have some weaknesses. The plot can be chaotic at times, with several subplots and tangents that feel underdeveloped or unnecessary. Additionally, some of the humor can be hit or miss, with a few jokes that fall flat.
Overall, "Prickly Muffin" is a solid episode of BoJack Horseman that delves into complex themes and character development while still managing to be funny. While it has some weaknesses, particularly in terms of pacing and focus, it is still an enjoyable and thought-provoking addition to the series.
