*When Roger Meyers Jr. pleads his case in court, he mentions that several animated television series and characters were plagiarized from other series and characters: "Animation is built on plagiarism! If it weren't for someone plagiarizing ''{{W|The Honeymooners}}'', we wouldn't have ''[[The Flintstones]]''. If someone hadn't ripped off {{W|Sergeant Bilko}}, there'd be no {{W|Top Cat}}. [[Huckleberry Hound]], [[Chief Wiggum]], [[Yogi Bear]]? Hah! [[Andy Griffith]], [[Edward G. Robinson]], {{W|Art Carney}}."

Trivia

  • The print of the early Itchy cartoon that burned on the projector is cellulose nitrate stock, which degrades rapidly with time. It's unlikely that a print as old as this would survive at all, much less being carried around outdoors by a bum.

Continuity

Goofs

  • As pointed out in special features, the film case changes color from black to pink after it is tossed in the garbage.
  • During the cut to the basement (after the scene where Bart first sneaks into the house and says "The coast is clear"), Bart's image seems to jump from a point at the top of the basement stairs to the middle (without any animation in between) when telling Chester that there is where he is going to sleep.
  • The Empire State Building can be seen in Manhattan Madness, even though it opened in 1931, whereas Manhattan Madness was created 22 years earlier.
  • Judge Snyder's skin is yellow instead of brown in this episode.
  • It would be impossible for Bart to see Lester skateboard past the house because the window he looks through faces the backyard.
