One of Lisa's first words had been "David Hasselhoff", who was on the cover of an issue of TV Guide.[4]
When Marge asked Homer to throw away the old TV Guide's he didn't want to and started to read from an issue. He read about an episode of Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. where Gomer upset Sergeant Carter, and he started to remember the episode.[1]
