Debut appearances

Cultural references

The scene from Vertigo.
  • The episode's title is a reference to Prince Charming.
  • Principal Skinner running up the stairs then looking down and seeing that he is a ways up is similar to a scene in Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo.
  • Skinner yelling "Tomorrow is another school day!" parodies the last line from Gone with the Wind: "Tomorrow is another day".

Trivia

  • Groundskeeper Willie appears to have pink hair and beard instead of red in parts of the episode.
  • This is the first appearance of Hans Moleman, but he is referred to as Ralph Melish, which is most likely his prototype name.

Goofs

Principal Charming goof.png
  • When Homer is trying to find a boyfriend for Selma, Carl Carlson is incorrectly named "Karl".
  • When Patty says "Marry me, Patty" after looking at the message on the field, she doesn't open her mouth.
  • After Bart used herbicide to write his name in the grass in 40-foot letters, Principal Skinner punishes him by making him re-seed the lawn by hand. This however wouldn't work, as the herbicide would kill all the seeds; the topsoil would need to be replaced first.
