The Lastest Gun in the West/References

Trivia

 * Buck McCoy looks a lot like Ronald Reagan, who before being president of the US was an actor in many Westerns.
 * In one scene, the audio has Lisa saying "Dad, I'm on the line". But the closed captions say Operator: "First, pay your phone bill".
 * When Grandpa shows Bart his Junior Buckaroo badge, It's entitled "Little Grandpa Simpson." Obviously this is a joke rather than a scripting error or a childhood nickname.

Cultural references

 * At the end of the episode when Buck is going into his house, the theme music from the film The Magnificent Seven is played.
 * One of Buck McCoy's various shows was "McTrigger", in which all he does is shoot hippies, is a reference to Dennis Weaver's former series, McCloud.
 * McCoy says "McTrigger" was was retooled into Room 222.
 * Homer creates a picture of himself in a bathing suit that mimics the famous Farrah Fawcett pinup poster from the 70's.
