Continuity[edit]

Goofs[edit]

  • Homer's car in this episode is green, rather than the usual pink.
  • The Simpsons' carpet is pink in this episode.
  • Marge's necklace is white when Homer throws their wedding photo in the trash and she enters the room, but turns back to its normal red color when she picks it up.
  • When Moe grabs Ned Flanders at the bar, Ned's torso is drawn over the beer mugs that are supposed to be in front of him. Also, his torso goes through the man behind him.
  • During Ned's nightmare in one frame, an Anivision slate frame was accidentally left in.

Trivia[edit]

  • The scene where Homer walks through the hedge between his house and Ned's was not intended as a Terminator reference, but was based on David Mirkin's memory of a childhood habit he had of walking through neighbors' hedges. However, the scene's music, plus the visual immediately afterwards of Homer latching onto Ned's car with golf clubs, were intended as Terminator references. That plus the visual similarity of the "hedge walk" to the T-1000 morphing through a locked gate in Terminator 2 caused fans to also construe the hedge scene as a Terminator reference, which, Mirkin acknowledged, was "an easy mistake".
  • This is the first episode to use a shortened, revamped version of the intro theme, starting with Bart writing on the chalkboard and then cutting to the Simpsons arriving on the driveway. This version would be used more in Season 6, and occasionally in some later seasons.
