* RefittedForSequel: Originally, "Two Bad Neighbors" was going to end with UsefulNotes/RichardNixon moving in after UsefulNotes//GeorgeHWBush moves out, but after Nixon's passing in 1994, they initially rewrote that with Bob Dole moving in before finally having UsefulNotes/GeraldFord be the one moving in, believing Ford had been the best politician to represent Homer's personality. Here, "Citizen Kang" has Dole getting abducted.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: [[https://youtu.be/26Kyl9z9a0w?si=w59xdywrWKeYufuj Originally]], the opening would have parodied ''Film/TheExorcist'', showing Reverend Lovejoy trying to exorcise a possessed Lisa before she vomits onto the camera, and the title card forming from the dripping vomit.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: David X. Cohen felt that "Citizen Kang" violated every rule of ''The Simpsons'' as it locked the episode in one time and named specific candidates. When Season 8 was first shown on terrestrial television in the UK on BBC Two a few years later, this episode was skipped (because it would have aired in the same week as the ''2000'' election, and hence would have dated particularly badly) and not shown until the season was repeated a few months later.
