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.
- There is a lot of Itchy & Scratchy cartoons, many unnamed.
- Hold That Feline, before Maggie hits Homer with the mallet
- Kitchen Kut-Ups, where Marge first blames TV for Maggie being violent
- Messenger of Death, Bart and Lisa watch it in their friend's home
- Unnamed cartoon, in which Marge watches it to write down the violence
- Unnamed cartoon, in which Marge as a squirrel appears
- Unnamed cartoon, as Kent Brockman shows the people an example of it
- Porch Pals, were Itchy and Scratchy become friends by drinking lemonade
- An unnamed cartoon only shown briefly, showing Itchy and Scratchy dancing, and watched in Milhouse's house
- An unnamed cartoon showing Scratchy reading a bedtime story to Itchy (then they do their outdoor activities)
- An unnamed cartoon showing Itchy and Scratchy being violent once more, after protesting is turned to Michelangelo's David.
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.
