- This episode is one of the many that explain how Lisa got her pearl necklace, showing that Marge gave it to Lisa during her first day at school. However, this is contradicted by many other episodes. For example, in "Barthood", there's a scene that takes place after Lisa's first month at school, and she's not wearing her pearls yet. During "Boy Meets Curl", Lisa mentions that her pearls were a gift by Marge when she could first read at twelfth grade level, and during "Lisa's First Word", baby Lisa is already wearing her pearl necklace.
- Many pictures of celebrities are seen at the restaurant; including:

- Lisa's eyes split for few frames when Marge says she doesn't like jazz.
