Cultural references
- The episode title is a pun on the Discovery Channel documentary/reality TV show Deadliest Catch.
- During the montage of Ned and Edna dating:
- The music playing is "Heaven Must Have Sent You" by Bonnie Pointer.
- When they cross a creek, Ned parts the water with a staff, reminiscent of Moses and the Israelites crossing the Red Sea.
Trivia
- Dewey Largo drives a Smart car.
- Ned's "Do-not-go" list of places with racy-sounding names consists of:
- In-N-Out Burger
- Jiffy Lube
- Pinkberry (Ned crosses it off after Edna takes him there)
- Yamaha Organs
- Fannie Farmer (possibly a misspelling of Fanny Farmer)
Continuity
- Brunella Pommelhorst appears for the first time since announcing she was going to have a sex-change operation ("My Fair Laddy"). However, she looks exactly the same as before, so it would seem that she decided not to go through with the operation.
Goofs
- The coffee mug Homer borrowed from Ned Flanders is a right-handed mug, but Ned is left-handed.
- Not a goof. In a world designed mostly for righties, left-handed mugs aren't that easy to find. So it's highly likely that Ned has owned many right-handed mugs over the years.
- Definitely a goof. Ned Flanders owns the Leftorium. I mean, they have left-handed combs for goodness sake, what are the chances of not having left-handed mugs.

Reception
- In UK airings, a note at the scene where Marge tells viewers to go to thesimpsons.com to vote says "Unfortunately, voting is not available in this area", and a voiceover is heard over the credits by Homer and Marge, telling viewers that in reruns or on DVDs it's too late to vote.
