Cultural references
- Miracle on 34th Street – The episode title is a play on the Christmas film.
- "Jeopardy!" – Alex Trebek's comment that Marge owed the show $5,200 (based on her negative $5,200 score, which cannot happen in real life on the show) is a spoof of criticism concerning Trebek's sometimes stern rules enforcement of shows he hosted, particularly during the early years of "Jeopardy!"
- It's a Wonderful Life - the scene where everyone rallies around to support the Simpsons is reminiscent of the last scene of the classic holiday movie. The scene where George Bailey tells his child to stop playing the piano is also spoofed by Homer telling Lisa to stop playing the piano.
Trivia
- When Chief Wiggum is taking Maggie's dolls at the end, he is heard humming "Hark The Herald Angel Sing".
- In the same scene, look closely at one of the dolls he is taking. The rabbit is Bongo from Matt Groening's Life in Hell comic series.
