Trivia
- The episode title is a pun on the baseball expression "Turn a double play".
- At the end credits for Hunch, filming locations given are "New York City" and "Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada", a small city between Calgary and the USA/Canadian border of approximately 80,000 inhabitants. A strange choice to film a prime time crime drama, although Canada has become a popular filming location for many American movies and some television. This was shown in "The Bart Wants What It Wants".
- The writer for the show Homer and the family are watching at the beginning of the episode is J.D. Salinger, author of The Catcher in the Rye.
- The show they are watching is called Hunch and seems to be a poke at the television show Monk.
- In fact the first name of the "actor" on Hunch is Tony which is the real life first name of Monk's main actor Tony Shalhoub.
- Hunch also seems to be a bit controversial, in the same vein as NYPD Blue if Bart's comment about Hunch's butt in the shower is accurate.
- One of Tabitha's songs sounds very similar to Britney Spears' "Toxic".
- Among the people shown in the cast of Hunch are the late George C. Scott and Gwyneth Paltrow.
- Peanuts: When Marge questions whether she and Homer should be giving marriage advice, Homer replies, "We've been through more hardships than the Jews and Charlie Brown put together."
- The file photo of Marge and Homer references Michelangelo's famous Pietà.
- Bart's interests in women are amplified from 'noticing' to 'horny'.
- The things Homer throws at Buck is 1 AA, 4 Ds and a cordless drill.
- Krusty's design on the gossip magazine is how he looks in the future in "Lisa's Wedding" and "Bart to the Future".
Goofs
- On Lisa's 2nd Grade Spelling Champion certificate, Edna Krabappel's name is incorrectly spelled as "Edna Krabbappel".
