Craig> I remember that episode with Tummi meeting the blind woman (amusingly enough it's also called "Eye of the Beholder"). What also stood out was that Duke Igthorn and his forces, despite being proudly evil, didn't feel comfortable harassing a blind woman. One of those, "We might be villains, but we're not scumbags" moments.

Matthew the Fedora Guy > Another Gummi Bears / Gargoyles connection also occurred to me recently. In the past, we've mentioned a few episodes that had premises similar to Gargoyles scenarios (such as Tummi befriending a blind woman who doesn't know he's a Gummi Bear). But I don't believe the episode "Dress for Success" has been mentioned, wherein the Gummies attend "Folly Day" at Dunwyn Castle, taking advantage of the fact that they'll be mistaken for humans in costume. I wonder if that episode was a conscious influence on "Eye of the Beholder" at all.

Fifth!

A while ago we talked about Gargoyles and its relationship to Gummi Bears, one thing I forgot to mention was that Gummi Bears beat Gargoyles to the punch at least in one regard: casting Star Trek alumni.

Roger C. Carmel (Harry Mudd from the original series) had a recurring role on Gummi Bears before his death in 1986. I doubt that was a big influence on the casting process in Gargoyles, but it's still funny to think about.
