Cultural References[]
- Paradise Pier is also the former name for Pixar Pier and Paradise Garden Parks at Disney's California Adventure.
- The store Marge and Bart go to is called "The China Syndrome". A "china syndrome" is a catastrophic nuclear accident and a 1979 movie of the same name.
- The Tea Shop Marge and Bart go to, named "The Leaf Garret Tea Shop" is a reference to Leif Garrett, a teen idol, actor and singer popular in the 1970s.
- In the "attack of the couches" couch gag, Professor Frink's couch loosely resembles a war machine from The War of the Worlds.
- At the tree house Marge shows a comic of Radioactive Man "side-by-side with Pelé", a Brazilian football legend who died in 2022, 17 years after this episode aired.
Goofs[]
- When Homer says "Now it lefty's turn", his left arm looks awfully smaller in diameter than it usually does.
- After Bart says "But we had so much fun on that bike," Chief Wiggum crashes through the Simpson's backyard from the left side and it shows a crosswalk and a road. This is impossible since the left side of their backyard meets with the Flanders' right side of the backyard, so there really shouldn't be a road or a sidewalk there.
