Cultural references
- The episode's name is a reference to the Cole Porter song "At Long Last Love" and the film with the same name.
- As the family drive away from Springfield following their banishment, Lisa reads a book titled What to Expect When You're Ejected, a pun on the pregnancy guide What to Expect When You're Expecting.
- The arcade game Pong '95 is seen in Barney's Bowlarama, a reference to Pong.
- The arcade game Grand Theft Walrus, a parody of Grand Theft Auto, is also seen.
Trivia
- A parody of the opening sequence occurs after the Simpsons move to The Outlands:
- "THE OUTLANDS" appears on the title screen, with the words sung in a stereotypical redneck accent accompanied by a fiddle.
- The camera zooms in, panning over The Outlands. "THE OUTLANDS / Population: None of Your Damn Business!" is spray-painted on a wooden water tower.
- Inside an abandoned building that resembles Springfield Elementary School, Bart spray-paints "I ♥ the breakdown of society" on the wall, then rides a motorcycle through the wall.
- Bart takes a jump off the front steps and lands on a drunk holding a jug of moonshine, in the same place where Barney would be on the sidewalk.
- Homer pulls up to the house on an ATV. Bart on his motorcycle takes another jump and bounces off the back of Homer's ATV.
- Lisa and Maggie land next to the driveway in a homemade ultralight helicopter, narrowly missing Homer (and elicting a "D'oh!" from him) as he gets off his ATV.
- Marge pulls into the driveway in a horse-drawn shopping cart and hits Homer as he walks across the driveway.
- The Simpsons take their seats on the couch and watch a fox sleeping on a rock. Homer complains, "I'm sick of watching Fox!"
Continuity
- This is the second time that Springfield has relocated, the first being "Trash of the Titans".
- To make his case for banishing the Simpsons from Springfield, Mayor Quimby presents slides showing incidents they've caused, all of which occurred in previous episodes:
- Homer driving his car down the hallway at Springfield Elementary School ("Wild Barts Can't Be Broken")—"Property Damage: $8.3 Million"
- Bart surfing on a basketball backboard, riding a wave that resulted from his flooding the school gymnasium with water from a fire hose ("Brother's Little Helper")—"Upshot: 5 Mile Cloud of Toxic Mold"
- Lisa coordinating the attempted rescue of Bluella ("The Squirt and the Whale")—"Not That Expensive but Pretty Annoying"
Goofs
- Alice Glick appears again, despite dying in "Replaceable You".
- Louie's hair is light brown in one scene.
- Rafael's seat in the town hall changes from one side of the room to the other.
