Trivia[edit]

Goofs[edit]

Richard with white hair.
  • Samantha Stanky from "Bart's Friend Falls in Love" is clearly visible in the field trip; however, in the episode, she first appeared in, she was sent to a girls-only school.
  • In the first few shots, Richard has white hair.
  • The entire glacier which Lisa causes to sink seems to be floating on top of the lake, even though only 10% of any given iceberg is visible above the surface in reality.
  • Also at the end when Lisa throws the restraining order into the fire, you can see it and it says the plaintiff is Bart, and the defendant is Lisa. That would mean that Bart originally filed the order and Lisa had to stay away from him. It was in fact vice versa.
