Revision as of 15:52, May 11, 2010
Trivia
- This is the first episode written by former Futurama writer Jeff Westbrook.
- Nelson is wearing a T-shirt that says "Glaciers Suck," and says it's part of his "Things Suck" line of clothing. Bart had a similar idea in Fat Man and Little Boy.
- Grampa was earlier seen working at Sprawl-Mart in the episode The Fat and the Furriest.
- Gary Busey is the first celebrity this season to host a Troy McClure-esque video. A few episodes later, Robert Wagner would do the same.
- Worth noting: Following someone around on whom you have a restraining order (as Lisa does to Bart) is considered abuse of the order and is grounds for having it removed.
Cultural References
- The title is taken from the musical On a Clear Day You Can See Forever.
- The episode's couch gag spoofs the 1977 science education movie Powers of Ten, which shows the house, Springfield, the continent, the planet, the Milky Way, and the universe; and finally goes back to Homer's body. This gag was first used in The Ziff Who Came to Dinner.
- In one scene, a sign outside Sprawl-Mart says "Don't Watch 60 Minutes This Week," a reference to controversies involving Wal-Mart ending up being covered on 60 Minutes.
- Songs/music used:
- The song playing during the "Lisa poking Bart" montage is "Don't Stand So Close to Me" by The Police.
- When Bart drops his pants to pee outdoors ("The world is my toilet now!"), the music playing is the theme from Born Free.
- During the montage showing Bart living with the pack of wild dogs, the music playing is from Vivaldi's The Four Seasons.
- The wicker statue of Lisa that Bart builds is a reference to the 1973 film The Wicker Man and its 2006 remake.
- Jimbo calls the Lisa statue "The Wicker Witch of the West," referencing both The Wicker Man and The Wizard of Oz.
- Bart's plea to Lisa to "Look in your heart" is a reference to the 1990 Coen Brothers film Miller's Crossing.
Errors
- Samantha Stanky from Bart's Friend Falls in Love is clearly visible in the field trip however in her episode she was sent to a girls only school.
- Uter is clearly visible in the field trip to Springfield Glacier; however, in the episode "The PTA Disbands" (the 21st episode from the 6th season) he is left behind on a previous field trip. In the episode "24 Minutes", he is seen stuck in a cobweb in the school air vents. In yet another episode, he is dead.
