About this episode
This episode discusses the challenges Mary faces with her eyesight and the bullying that follows her improvement.
This is an experimental episode that Lydia Kikuchi and her friend Saya Ishida were kind enough to help me with. “The mysterious decline in Mary’s school performance is explained when Charles discovers that she needs glasses; but the joyous self-confidence that comes with Mary’s improved eyesight is short-lived after Nellie and Willie incite the rest of the class to call her “Four Eyes” and tease that she’ll end up a spinster like teacher, Miss Beadle.” Four Eyes originally aired on September 17, 1975 The opening song “Albert” is written and performed by the amazing Norwegian band, Project Brundlefly and is used with permission.
