Trivia[edit]

California references[edit]

  • At the time the episode was produced, California was having problems with bears roaming neighborhoods in search of food, as shown in Springfield at the beginning of the episode.
  • California at the time was also having problems associated with the large numbers of illegal immigrants in the state. In 1994, voters had passed Proposition 187 (later declared unconstitutional) which would have denied services such as education and health care to illegal immigrants, similar to Springfield voters' passing Proposition 24. California's continuing issues with illegal immigrants were one of the reasons for making the episode, according to Bill Oakley on the DVD commentary.

Continuity[edit]

Goofs[edit]

  • When the family is at the dinner table and Lisa is telling Homer she doesn't agree with the proposed new immigration law, the food on their plates changes from purple pie to mashed potatoes and meat and then back to purple pie.
  • Apu claims to have been in the United States for seven years, but Homer's Barbershop Quartet depicts him being in America eight years before the then-present day.
  • When Mayor Quimby promises action against the bears to the townspeople, he wears his normal clothing but the next shot, when they are leaving, he suddenly wears a napkin around his neck.
  • The map of the USA has Upper Michigan colored purple like neighboring Wisconsin while the rest of Michigan is colored orange.
  • Homer's "Yes on 24" button has entirely black text in the close-up. However, when the scene cuts to a farther-away shot, the words "Yes" and "24" are written in white while the word "on" is written in blue.
  • Homer tells Apu that he is not a registered voter, yet he is shown voting for Sideshow Bob in season 6's "Sideshow Bob Roberts".
