Debut Appearance
Trivia
- When Ralph is talking his voice sounds different to normal.
- When Homer enquires to Lisa that Marge would be better at getting her a new 4 1/2 reed Lisa answers that "I called her she's not home" yet in a very next scene Marge is seen present in the crowd reassuring Lisa that her Dad wouldn't fail her, this raises the question as to why Marge didn't simply take Lisa out to the store (The reason she was not home was obviously because she had departed to attend the Talent show).
- In this episode it is revealed that Apu was dating Princess Kashmir showing how much of a bachelor he was in early seasons.
Cultural references
- Lisa plays the standard "Stormy Weather" at the talent show. Later, when playing for Princess, she plays "Wildfire".
- The store name All Creatures Great and Cheap is a pun on All Creatures Great and Small, a novel by English veterinarian James Herriot and pun on the song of the same name, which is about animals.
- Lisa waking up to find the pony's head and screaming is a reference to the famous scene from The Godfather, where Jack Woltz wakes to find the severed head of his prized racehorse next to him.
- Bart and Lisa see an episode of The Tonight Show, hosted by Johnny Carson. Ed McMahon can be heard laughing at Carson's joke.
Continuity
- Moe's Tavern also distracts Homer from running an errand for a family member in the comic story Maggie's Crib 25.
