Debut appearances
Trivia
- Homer's hammer still has the price tag connected.
- This marks the first appearances of Sideshow Mel and Roger Meyers, Jr..
- The squirrel in the Itchy & Scratchy cartoon was a thinly-vieled insult against Marge. This is reference to during the earlier decades of the 20th Century, when there was less cultural sensitivity, animators would often make cartoons to lampoon people, such as black people or Asians, by portraying them as animals or having cartoon characters do "black activities".
- This is the first episode to have Marge's name somewhere in the title.
Cultural references
- The scene where Maggie attacks Homer with a mallet is a recreation of the shower scene from Psycho.
Goofs
The red "Don't" on the sign, and then after a switchover to a scene with Marge and Maude, the "Don't" is now black.
- Bart writes "Don't" on the "Ban Itchy & Scratchy" sign in red pen. When Bart tells Marge that it's time to go to Milhouse's house, the "Don't" is still in red pen. After a scene with Marge and Maude, "Don't" is written in the same color as "Itchy & Scratchy" - black.
- There is a shot of protesters for Michaelangelo's David outside the Simpson House. There are two protesters at the front door. The protesters have orange hair (left), and purple hair (right). When Marge answers the door, these protesters are Maude and Helen. Helen's hair color has gone from orange to grey, and Maude's has gone from purple to orange.
- During the wholesome activities the children play due to the new Itchy & Scratchy, 3 people are riding scooters. The person on the left has his shirt changing color.
