The Dad Who Knew Too Little |

Trivia[]
- This episode won the 2004 WGA Award (TV) for Animation.
- Homer's e-mail address is actually writer Matt Selman's e-mail address. Matt used to write back to fans as Homer until about a month after this episode aired. Later, the address was disabled due to too many sent letters.
Goofs[]
- When Bart beams the laser at Principal Skinner, the red dot on his pants, when he pulls them down and Chief Wiggum stops in his car in front of him, how can the laser still be beaming on Skinner if Wiggum's car is blocking out the laser? It is possible the dot shining through one of the windows, although that should at least weaken the dot.
- To cause instant and permanent blindness requires at least a class 3B laser — massive overkill for a laser pointer (they are usually class 1 or 2), and extremely unlikely in a laser pointer small enough to be pocketable. Of course, it could be that Colt was simply dazzled or temporarily blinded.
- Bart reads Lisa's diary backwards (right-to-left).
- When Homer and Lisa pass by the "bridge out" sign we can see all the way to the bottom of the sign up to the letter U in out. When the sign is viewed after the branch is pulled back, we can see that the O and probably V in the word "overpass" should have been seen in the first place.
- A red laser pointer would not produce an actual beam (except in a very dusty, smoky or foggy atmosphere), it would only produce a dot where it was pointed.
