Cultural references
- The title of the episode is a reference to the Gilbert O'Sullivan hit, "Alone Again (Naturally)". It was also parodied in the episode, "No Loan Again, Naturally".
- Words Ned spells out while playing Scrabble by himself: Solitary, Alone, Forever, Horny, and Flanswered.
- The video game Billy Graham's Bible Blaster, played by Bart with Rod and Todd Flanders, is a spoof of the unlicensed NES game, Bible Adventures.
- The background music during Flanders' dating tape is "I'm Too Sexy" by Right Said Fred.
- Kovenant's name is based on the German thrash metal band Kreator.
Trivia
- Ned's ATM pin number is 5316.
- Gravestones appear at the cemetery during Maude's funeral of deceased people who died earlier in the series (however, Dr. Marvin Monroe would later be seen alive in the season 15 episode "Diatribe of a Mad Housewife").
- Ned and Edna finish their dinner at approximately 8:20.
- Maude's death had been conceived because her voice actor, Maggie Roswell, left the series in 1999 after a pay dispute.
- There is an actual band named Covenant in real life (although they are not Christian rock, but rather EBM/Futurepop). Swedish band "Covenant" was founded in 1989 by members Joakim Montelius, Clas Nachmanson, and Eskil Simonsson. The Kovenant is also a Norwegian black metal band. There is no connection between either of these bands and the one appearing in this episode.
- Ned and Edna go on a date, and although it does not develop into a relationship in this episode, years later, the two begin a romance, in the Season 22 finale, "The Ned-liest Catch". It is revealed in the Season 23 episode "Ned 'N' Edna's Blend" that the two have married.
