*Buck McCoy looks a lot like Ronald Reagan, an actor in many Westerns.

*In one scene, the audio has Lisa saying "Dad, I'm on the line". But the closed captions say ''Operator: "First, pay your phone bill"''.
 
−
*When Grandpa shows Bart his Junior Buckaroo badge, It's entitled "Little Grandpa Simpson." Obviously this is a joke rather than a scripting error or a childhood nickname.

*The weapons that Snake and his gang use in the bank robbery are the M41A pulse rifles from ''Aliens''.

*At the end of the episode when Buck is going into his house, the theme music from the film ''The Magnificent Seven'' is played.

*McCoy says he was on the fictional show "McTrigger" before it was retooled into ''Room 222''.
 
−
*Homer creates a picture of himself in a bathing suit that mimics the famous Farrah Fawcett pinup poster from the 70's.

*One of Buck McCoy's various shows "McTrigger" in which all he does is shoot hippies, is a reference to Dennis Weaver's former series, ''McCloud''.

*When Buck introduces himself to Bart the flute intro composed by Ennio Morricone from ''The Good, the Bad and the Ugly'' plays.
