Trivia

• Lisa's birthday was revealed in this episode. However it is not exact: The Olympics was on its last day when Lisa was born. Therefore, it would be around 24 August 1983.

• Bart's first words were also revealed in this episode: "Ay Carumba!", which he said after seeing his parents having sex.

• Bart's term of "Can't sleep, clown will eat me", was later used as a line in an Alice Cooper song. It has since become somewhat of a slang term to describe insomnia.

• When Bart is packing his toys up he is saying something, but it's not audible.

• Maggie said her first word in this episode. Although because no-one hears her say it, the family has presumed Maggie has spoken her first word a few times in other episodes, including "Good Night", The Simpsons Movie, "Four Great Women and a Manicure", and "Coming to Homerica".

• The Krusty Burger scratch & win cards were inspired by a promotional game McDonald's did for the 1984 Olympics where an event would be revealed and prizes would be awarded dependent on whether Team USA scored a gold, silver, or bronze medal. Prizes ranged from free McDonald's food to a $10,000 cash prize. McDonald's lost millions of dollars paying out prizes on that promotion.

Goofs

• Even though it is obvious Grandpa is a younger man in 1983, a picture of his elderly self hangs in the wall of his house.

• Sideshow Bob is in this episode, but he has turquoise colored hair.

• In one scene Todd Flanders has black hair.

• When Homer found out Marge was pregnant, he didn't rip his hair out. However, the fact that he did this was not revealed until "And Maggie Makes Three".
