Trivia

• On the day of this episode's premiere, the Soviet Union officially dissolved.
• The Justice of the Peace is the first character outside of Homer to call Marge by her full name Marjorie during the flashback to Homer and Marge]]'s exchanging their wedding vows.
• Marge's hair is not as tall in this episode as it normally is shown. Presumably, her hair is shorter so there is less to wear in her famous updo.
• Jacqueline appears to be a smoker in this episode, she has not smoked in any other episode, and has presumably quit.
• Mr. Burns is seen playing on a Ms. Pac Man arcade cabinet in his office.

• At the end of the episode, when Homer tells the kids what a blessing they are, Maggie's bow is missing in one shot.
• In this episode Bart was a two-year-old when the Simpson family moved into 742 Evergreen Terrace, but he lived at the same house as a baby in the babysitter's traumatic flashback in "The War of the Simpsons".
