Trivia

• 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.
• 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".
