Cultural references

  • The episode has many references to the 1961 film Breakfast at Tiffany's
    • 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.
  • 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 appartment include:
  • "Moonshine River" and "Homer at the Bat" currently hold the record for highest number of guest stars in one episode, with eleven.

Continuity

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.
