Trivia

• The name is a take on the show Behind the Music.
• A scene depicted Homer and the cast looking at an episode they just completed in which the family talk about visiting Delaware. Homer mutters to the director, "This'll be the last season." A few episodes later, the conversation about Delaware was actually worked into the show.
• The narrator states that the Simpsons were a "Northern Kentucky" family. This would not fit into the series canon because in one of the episodes, Homer stated that he's "never been to Kentucky" and in another, he says he's lived in the same state most of his life. This only underscores the ambiguity of where the Simpsons live.
• Bart states he never said "cowabunga dude" in his life, before joining the show.

Cultural references

• Homertime Mansion and the dance that Bart does when he finds the pants is a parody of the famous dance and lyrics from MC Hammer's "Can't Touch This".

Goofs

• The Blue-haired lawyer's hair is black in this episode.
