* The vampire novel [[Nikki]] is holding while talking to Bart is called ''[[Red Moon]]'', a parody of the {{w|Twilight (series)|''Twilight'' series}} book ''{{w|New Moon (novel)|New Moon}}''.

== Trivia==
*In Latin America, this episode was released as the 16th episode of the season for unknown reasons.

== Continuity ==
*The other fourth grade's class teacher is [[Audrey McConnell]] from "[[Bart vs. Lisa vs. the Third Grade]]" (she was the third grade teacher for Bart and Lisa).
*This is [[WALL•E]]'s second appearance in ''The Simpsons''. The first was "[[The Burns and the Bees]]".

== Goofs ==
*When Nikki winks at Bart, the printing on her shirt disappears.
*Michelle Obama is shown at a podium with a seal. In actuality there is no seal for the First Lady. The U.S. Constutition does not establish an Office of the First Lady. First Ladies are presidents' wives, not an elected office.
*When Lisa types her message on her blog, nothing else appears on the screen when Lisa is pressing the keys on the keyboard.
*Homer's navigation system seems to give all distances in metric measurements, much to his annoyance, except when he is suspended in the air, when it bizarrely switches to imperial and says he is 10 feet above the ground.
