- Homer worries that he committed bigamy by marrying Amber, but "Wedding For Disaster" later revealed that Reverend Lovejoy's license to wed couples was null and void, meaning that Homer's divorce from "A Milhouse Divided" still stood and Homer's marriage to Amber were legal.
- On the premiere episode (and the syndicated reruns), Homer mutters that Barney Gumbel's birthday is the same day as Adolf Hitler's (April 20th).
