Trivia[edit]
- The scene where Homer walks through the hedge between his house and Ned's was not intended as a Terminator reference, but was based on David Mirkin's memory of a childhood habit he had of walking through neighbors' hedges. However, the scene's music, plus the visual immediately afterwards of Homer latching onto Ned's car with golf clubs, were intended as Terminator references. That plus the visual similarity of the "hedge walk" to the T-1000 morphing through a locked gate in Terminator 2 caused fans to also construe the hedge scene as a Terminator reference, which, Mirkin acknowledged, was "an easy mistake".
- This is the first episode to use a shortened, revamped version of the intro theme, starting with Bart writing on the chalkboard and then cutting to the Simpsons arriving on the driveway. This version would be used more in Season 6, and occasionally in some later seasons.
