Trivia

• Apu, Skinner, and Moe were all volunteer firefighters in this episode. They would later also be volunteer firefighters in "Crook and Ladder."
• At the end of the episode, God tells Homer the meaning of life, but the closing credits start before the audience can hear it.
• God also mentions that Homer has to wait 6 months to know the meaning of life, because then he'll die. This could mean that he was supposed to die in "Homer's Triple Bypass."

Goofs
