Cultural references
- The episode has many references to the 1961 film Breakfast at Tiffany's, adapted from the novella of the same name:
- The title is a reference to the song "Moon River", which is from the film.
- The song playing in the credits was "Moon River"
- In two scenes Mary is dressed as Holly.
- In one she is wearing the same black dress and hat with the white ribbon around the hat.
- While playing guitar, Mary is dressed similarly to Holly while she plays guitar, albeit with a red bandanna as opposed to Holly's white.
- In the film, Holly left her "family" to set up a new life in New York, much like Mary does here, though her dad comes to get her, not her husband like in the film.
- In Mary's apartment is someone called H. Golightly, a reference to Holly Golightly.
- The couch gag is a reference to the The Longest Daycare.
- Pappa Pia! is a reference to the musical Mamma Mia!.
- Death of a Salesman: The Seussical is a parody of Death of a Salesman and Dr. Seuss films.
- Samsun is a parody of Samsung.
- LC is a parody of LG.
- 9/11 is touched upon slightly. Bart tells Homer that he "would love New York, now that [his] two least favorite buildings have been obliterated". Bart then quickly adds "Old Penn Station and Shea Stadium", after a pause.
Trivia
- The items in Bart's box of "precious junk" include:
- Photos of his old girlfriends
- His slingshot
- A Krusty the Clown ashtray
- A square piece of ravioli in a ziplock bag labelled "Ravioli that looks like me"
- The names that appear in the listing of Mary Spuckler's apartment include:
- "Moonshine River" and "Homer at the Bat" currently hold the record for highest number of guest stars in one episode, with eleven.
- This episode premiered in Australia on February 10, 2013 at 6pm local time on TEN.
- This is the second time that The Simpsons traveled to New York. The first time was in the Season 9 premiere episode: "The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson".
Continuity
- Bart's previous girlfriends:
- Adverts are seen from previous objects featured in the show:
- Khlav Kalash and the Khlav Kalash vendor appear again as a massive brand. ("The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson", "Lost Our Lisa")
Goofs
- In the queue for the Romeo and Juliet play many of the people standing in line appear in the line more than once.
- The animation of the Simpsons in the couch gag contest notification segment is a bit off-model, one error being that in most shots, Bart's head is too tall. This could explain that this segment was rushed to be put in the season premiere.
- On the close shot of Bart buzzing for Mary, her name is near the top. However, when zoomed out he is pressing the bottom button.
