Trivia

  • Buck McCoy looks a lot like Ronald Reagan, who before being president of the US was an actor in many Westerns.
  • In one scene, the audio has Lisa saying "Dad, I'm on the line". But the closed captions say Operator: "First, pay your phone bill".
  • When Grandpa shows Bart his Junior Buckaroo badge, It's entitled "Little Grandpa Simpson." Obviously this is a joke rather than a scripting error or a childhood nickname.

Cultural references

  • The weapons that Snake and his gang use in the bank robbery are the M41A pulse rifles from Aliens.
  • At the end of the episode when Buck is going into his house, the theme music from the film The Magnificent Seven is played.
  • One of Buck McCoy's various shows was "McTrigger", in which all he does is shoot hippies, is a reference to Dennis Weaver's former series, McCloud.
    • McCoy says "McTrigger" was was retooled into Room 222.
  • Homer creates a picture of himself in a bathing suit that mimics the famous Farrah Fawcett pinup poster from the 70's.
  • When Buck introduces himself to Bart, the flute intro from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (composed by Ennio Morricone) plays.
  • The western craze generated by Buck McCoy in Springfield mimics the western craze the movie Urban Cowboy generated when released in 1980.
