  • The title is a reference to the film Postcards from the Edge.
  • The Itchy & Scratchy cartoon, "Mouse M.D.", is a parody of House M.D.

  • The filmstrip at the beginning contains some classic cartoon sound effects, such as the "pbpbpbpbpbpbpbpb' motors from The Jetsons and the trombone talking of the teachers in the Peanuts specials.

Goofs

  • About 8 minutes into the episode, Lisa's pearls briefly appear red like Marge's, a goof commonly seen in episodes.
  • When Lisa was explaining her example fraction equation's answer, it is incorrect. 1/2 + 1/3 does not equal 3/anything. It equals 5/6 mininum.
  • Although the subway system is abandoned, it is still used in various couch gags.
