References/Trivia


Cultural references

  • The episode title is a pun on the 1970s sitcom All in the Family.
  • Judge Harm calls bigamy "Mormon hold 'em", punning the card game Texas hold 'em and referring to the LDS Church's having practiced polygamy in the past.
  • There is a webcomic that goes by the same name. brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com

Goofs

  • During the scene when the Simpsons are singing "We Are Family", Maggie seems to be singing as well.

Continuity

  • In "Viva Ned Flanders", Homer tries to get Ned to accept being a polygamist on the argument that having two wives can be great. Homer imagines himself lazing in a hammock while Marge and Amber do yard work. Events play out in a completely different direction after the "Vegas wives" arrive in Springfield, as Marge is clearly hostile to the idea of having Amber in the house. This once again shows how reality is often far different from Homer's fantasies.
