{{TB| The episode title is a reference. In the episode itself the famous play is adapted into a musical, ''[[Oh, Streetcar!]]''. Marge plays the part of Blanche Dubois and Ned Flanders Stanley Kowalski. An extra reference is the scene where Marge and Ned rehearse their roles at Flanders' house and Homer stands outside yelling: "Marge! Hey Mààààrge!" at their window. This is similar to Kowalski yelling for Blanche outside her window. 

The musical itself is a heavily bowdlerized version of the original, far more dark and depressing play, complete with a happy ending and utter misinterpretation of the moral, now reduced to: ''"A stranger is just a friend you haven't met."''}}
