Trivia

  • The producers had contacted Sheryl Crow and asked her to record Kirk's song "Can I Borrow A Feeling" to play over the closing credits. Crow declined.
  • The first scene where the family is eating dinner in front of the television with TV trays is the actual test for background artists to be hired for the show.
  • The premise of this episode was inspired by a scene in a previous episode "Sideshow Bob's Last Gleaming" where Milhouse, while playing with the cockpit of an F-15, pretends to launch missiles at his mom, dad, and Sally Wexler out of anger that they had to send him to a psychiatrist.
  • This is the only episode written entirely by Steve Tompkins, although he had been a part of the writing staff for several years.[1]
  • The writers wanted to break a typical sitcom convention by having the Van Houten's divorce, and remained divorced at the end.[1]
  • The episode original featured a subplot involving Bart getting jealous of the attention Milhouse was getting and wanting Homer and Marge to divorce.[1]
  • The Simpsons have a dinner party similar to the one in "The War of the Simpsons".[1]
  • Kirk loses his job at Southern Cracker. It was previously established that he worked there in "Homie the Clown" and "Bart on the Road"; in the former, Milhouse states Kirk is "a pretty big wheel down at the cracker factory".
  • Kirk's song is titled "Can I Borrow a Feeling?"
  • The cake that Marge and Homer have at their wedding reads "To a Whale of a Wife", with the cake being in the shape of a whale.
  • Milhouse's toy car is designed to look like a S-class Mercedes.
  • "El Barto" is written outside of the Springfield Marriage Bureau building.
  • The sign outside of the Cracker Factory reads: "Southern Cracker: The dryyyyyyyy cracker."
