Life Saver (Scaredy Squirrel)

Life Saver is the 10th episode from the first season of Scaredy Squirrel.

Plot
Scaredy saves Sally's life and since that happened, she is Scaredy's lifelong life improving helper trout, unaware that he doesn't want her to be his lifelong life improving helper trout.

Why It Isn't a Life Saver

 * 1) Misleading title and title card: By the title card and the title themselves, it might make someone think that the episode plot is gonna be about Scaredy becoming a lifeguard, but instead it's about Scaredy saving Sally's life and then trying to improve his life as reward. And this episode has nothing to do with the beach or lifeguards or even either related to the sea.
 * 2) Speaking of the title card, it looks very lazy, since they just put the stock art of Scaredy sending a thumbs up while smiling, and put into a lifebuoy. At least, episodes like Fairweather Squirrel or Halloweekend did a better job using the stock art in the title card than this episode.
 * 3) The plot of this episode is very generic and unoriginal, since it uses the "you saved my life" cliche, which has already been done a lot of times in other cartoons. But this episode does nothing with this concept, making it painfully boring and predictable.
 * 4) Sally is such an annoying character, since she torments Scaredy in the entire episode, thinking that she is "improving" his life.
 * 5) Sally is also a jerk to Dave, since she keeps yelling at him even though he didn't do anything bad to her.
 * 6) Speaking of it, many of Sally's attempts to help Scaredy just made things worse.
 * 7) Much like some episodes of season 1, the animation here looks horrible and it looks like it was done in a hurry.
 * 8) Some poor attempts at humor, like Dave catching peanut brittle in the Safety Corner segment, even with Scaredy pointing out (no pun intended) of them being dangerous, due to them being pointy.
 * 9) Predicable and bad ending: Sally saves Scaredy from the Viking, and later hypocritically criticizes Scaredy for being too demanding (even though he never asked for her do those things), and the Viking later decides to be a helper of two cops that suddenly appeared at the end of the episode.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) There's some funny moments, like the scene where Scaredy and Sally are close to each other and the latter points out that the bus is full, only for the scene to zoom out and show that the bus is empty.
 * 2) The Scaredy Squirrel's Safety Corner segment was okay, despise the joke about Dave catching peanut brittle being poor, as mentioned in WIAaLS#8.
 * 3) Scaredy and Dave are the only likeable/tolerable characters in this episode.

Trivia

 * When this episode aired on Qubo, Mildred's burp is edited out. However, it was not edited on Cartoon Network.
