* SequelInAnotherMedium: The episode had a sequel in [[ComicBook/TheSimpsons the comic series]], dubbed the "Quickly Cancelled Comic Book Cavalcade". The stories are continuations of the three spinoffs proposed in the original episode, and true to form, they are [[StylisticSuck as hokey as ever]]. In the "Wiggum, P.I." story, Wiggum becomes undead and Skinner suspects Big Daddy is behind it. Meanwhile, the eponymous "Lovematic Grandpa" finds his soul switched with that of Moe's GirlOfTheWeek. Finally, "The Simpson Family Smile-Time Variety Hour" is forced to hold their salute to RockAndRoll on an island due to Homer crashing their plane on the way to their gig in Hollywood.
