| *The Japanese version refers to the Channel DDD programming driving the events of this episode as デデデワイド, or "DededeWide". Japanese commercial broadcasters often have a weekday morning or afternoon infotainment show in their lineup, similar to the [[wikipedia:breakfast television|"breakfast television"]] or "morning" shows in English-speaking countries. Japan refers to such shows with the ''wasei eigo'' term of ワイドショー ("wide show") due to their coverage of a wide range of topics, including news.
| |
| **The misleading editing, intrusive commercial breaks, and sensationalized tone of the DededeWide programming embodies a sharp criticism of loose journalistic practices on "wide shows".
| |
| **At the time of the production and broadcast of this episode in Japan, public opinion around news-oriented "wide shows" had plummeted due to a 1996 revelation that producers on a TBS "wide show" had failed to protect one of their sources, [[wikipedia:Tokyo_Broadcasting_System#Sakamoto_family_murders|leading to the murder of said source and his family in 1989]]. The so-called [[wikipedia:ja:TBSビデオ問題|"TBS Video Problem"]] was serious enough for the lead announcer of TBS's News 23 to say on air that 「TBSは今日、死んだに等しいと思います」 ("TBS, as of today, is as good as dead to me") and threaten to resign from TBS. The repercussions extended across all of Japanese commercial broadcasting, leading to avoidance of the term "wide show" for 「情報番組」 ("informational shows") during much of the 2000s, when ''Kirby: Right Back at Ya!'' aired. TBS itself ceased "wide show" programming within months of the revelations, and would not produce any programming referred to by the term "wide show" until 2015.
| |
| **Note that in Japan, ''Kirby: Right Back at Ya!'' aired on CBC and other TBS network affiliates, the very same network whose reputation suffered so much due to the "TBS Video Problem".
