Trivia
- When Lisa is playing music for money she is actually playing her small portion of music from most of the opening credits/sequence.
- Nelson's Canadian counterpart laughs "Hoo Hoo!" instead of "Ha Ha!"
- This is the second time Agnes Skinner is shown to be kind to her son.
Continuity
- Medicine Woman (or Boob Lady) from the movie returns in this episode. According to Homer, she is his therapist.
- Although it was hinted in previous episodes, this is the first episode that confirms that the Seymour Skinner that we commonly see is indeed Agnes Skinner's birthson and not an impostor, and the first to outright retcon "The Principal and the Pauper", in which we learn Seymour is truly an impostor.
Cultural references
- The episode title is a pun on the film Boy Meets Girl.
- In the title screen gag, the Simpsons are seen riding the title car from the film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
- The song "Ghostbusters" is parodied in the Parade of Nations.
Music
Among the music heard in this episode:
- Les Patineurs (Skater's Waltz) by Émile Waldteufel.
- Bugler's Dream by Leo Arnaud
- Lara's Theme from Dr Zhivago
- Russian Dance from The Nutcracker by Pytor Illyich Tchaikovsky
Goofs
- In the scene where Homer is making a speech, he proclaims that it was the 17th November. Six weeks later, it would be the 29th December, and the Winter Olympics would not be held until February 12, 2010, meaning that the beginning of the episode would be set in 2009.
- Surprisingly, Principal Skinner is not wearing a coat when he visits the Simpsons, despite it being winter and there being a cold atmosphere.
- In one scene of the Olympics, Homer slides the curling stone over the middle of row, but it strangely hovers over.
