Trivia

• At the end credits for "Hunch", filming locations given are "City of New York" 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'.
