Bart's Comet/References

Trivia

 * Everyone getting angry and wanting to come into Flander's shelter is a a reference to "The Twilight Zone" episode, "The Shelter".
 * For a couple of seconds when Homer tries to get the shelter door shut when everyone gets in, Waldo from "Where's Waldo" appears rather obtrusively on the left half of the screen.
 * Homer is the first to kick Ned out of the bomb shelter, but he also leaves first to die with him, leading everyone to safety.
 * Homer states early in the episode that the comet will prbably burn up and become smaller than a Chihuha's head. At the end of the episode he is proven right, and both he and the kids are spooked by Homer being right for once.
 * Skinner curses Pierre Jules César Janssen for having discovered helium.
