Cultural references
- The episode title is a pun on the 1969 Disney movie The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes, which was remade into a TV movie in 1995, starring Kirk Cameron.
- The episode is both a parody of, and an homage to, the 1960s TV series The Prisoner. Patrick McGoohan voices Number 6 in the episode, reprising his character from The Prisoner. (In the episode, "The Village" has been replaced by "The Island".)
Trivia
- The woman presenting the Pulitzer never mentioned the category in which Homer won the prize.
- After Homer stole Number 6's boat, Number 6 says that this is the third time this has happened. He said earlier that it took 33 years to build the boat, which means that Number 6 has been on The Island for at least 99 years, if it took him just as long to build the previous two boats.
- Mr. X's website is an actual website, which you can visit at www.mrxswebpage.com [1].
- List of websites Homer visits:
- Springfield Police Home Page
- The Dancing Jesus Home Page
- Homer's Web Page (made by Homer)
- Mr. X (made by Homer)
- Kwik-E-Mart website (only in a deleted scene)
Goofs
- Near the new pool, there is a guy with the words "City Worker" on the back of his blue shirt putting finishing touches on a statue. He is using cement from a bag labeled POTHOLE CEMENT. Later, when we see people repairing the pothole, they are wearing orange jump suits, and the stuff they are filling the hole with is most definitely tar.
- When Homer enters his URL to show the family his page, all the keys he types are function keys, control keys, and numeric keypad keys—but no letters.
- In an early shot we see no lamp but a few minutes later we see a red lamp.
- When Homer has the computer in the kitchen it has a can holder and other features. But when he is using it on the sofa it has none of those features on it.
- Also, when the screen closes up on Homer, the trash can is near the table, then it gets closer by the table.
Continuity
- The computer salesman says one of his computers is the kind astronauts use to do their taxes and Homer says, "I was an astronaut!" The salesman doesn't believe him, but Homer was actually an astronaut during the episode "Deep Space Homer."
