Trivia
- Buck McCoy looks a lot like Ronald Reagan, who before being president of the US was an actor in many Westerns.
- In one scene, the audio has Lisa saying "Dad, I'm on the line". But the closed captions say Operator: "First, pay your phone bill".
- When Grandpa shows Bart his Junior Buckaroo badge, It's entitled "Little Grandpa Simpson." Obviously this is a joke rather than a scripting error or a childhood nickname.
- The clips in the Krusty the Clown Show intro include:
- Krusty's interview with Robert Frost. "I Love Lisa"
- Krusty singing in the 70's. "I Love Lisa"
- Krusty's duet with Bette Midler. "Krusty Gets Kancelled"
- Krusty talking to Johnny Carson. "Krusty Gets Kancelled"
- Krusty singing "Send in the Clowns". "Krusty Gets Kancelled"
Cultural references
- The weapons that Snake and his gang use in the bank robbery are the M41A pulse rifles from Aliens.
- At the end of the episode when Buck is going into his house, the theme music from the film The Magnificent Seven is played.
- One of Buck McCoy's various shows was "McTrigger", in which all he does is shoot hippies, is a reference to Dennis Weaver's former series, McCloud.
- McCoy says "McTrigger" was retooled into Room 222.
- Homer creates a picture of himself in a bathing suit that mimics the famous Farrah Fawcett pinup poster from the 70's.
- When Buck introduces himself to Bart, the flute intro from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (composed by Ennio Morricone) plays.
- The western craze generated by Buck McCoy in Springfield mimics the western craze the movie Urban Cowboy generated when released in 1980.
