Trivia

• Grandpa and Homer dined on a bucket of Shakespeare Fried Chicken.
• This is the first episode where we see Homer smoking (he smokes cigarettes in the bathroom as a teen). He would also smoke cigars and pipes in later episodes.
• Although they think it's the first time they met, Marge and Homer will find out that they met at a summer camp in season 15's "The Way We Weren't."
• The articles in "Ms. Magazine" are: "Why all men are bad," "Hating and Dating: Do they mix?" and "25 reasons not to shave your armpits"
• The Larry Davis Experience (from 7G01) play at the prom
• Mr. Seckofsky (the shop teacher) is missing a finger.
• Homer has posters of Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin.
• Marge says they were seniors in high school together, so that would mean that they are the same age. However, it has been established that Homer is 39, and Marge is 34. Is it possible that Homer got held back in school five times? He sure didnt look 23 when he was a senior. This is just one of the many weird things in the show about Homer aging, but nobody else.
• Homer's guidance counselor's door reads M-Z, but the counselor says N-Z.
• The song that plays when Homer first meets Marge and in other various points in the episode is "Close to You" by The Carpenders)
