** In Spain, the episode is notable for being the last featuring Homer's first voice actor ''and'' dubbing director, Carlos Revilla, before he died. As a result, Revilla's last line for the entire show was Homer's "this will be the last season", and the quality of the voice cast and acting took a downward spiral parallel to the episode plots. For this reason, it is widely considered the clean cut-off between GoldenAge and SeasonalRot Simpsons in the country.

Canon Discontinuity takes precedence.


* FanonDiscontinuity: Some fans who dislike the direction the show has been going since season nine see this episode as the series finale due to its non-canon nature, rampant fourth-wall breaking, and the alleged revelation of where Springfield is (some versions say it's in northern Kentucky while others say it's in southern Missouri with DVD special features listing four other states).

Wrong-way hindsight.


** Back in "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS4E21MargeInChains Marge in Chains]]", the people of Springfield have a very low opinion of UsefulNotes/JimmyCarter, to the point that one of them madly shouted "He's history's greatest monster!" and they break out into a riot when they got a statue of him instead of UsefulNotes/AbrahamLincoln. In this episode, Jimmy Carter is ''such'' a CoolOldGuy that he can ''stop'' a riot just by breakdancing.

** The bit at the end that shows the Simpsons relying on increasingly wacky, hackneyed plots, zooming out to Homer saying that "this will be the last season"; some viewers and long time fans debate that the show started going downhill several seasons earlier, but that this was the show's last gasp before becoming a FranchiseZombie.

** The episode ends with a teaser for a "future" episode of Behind the Laughter featuring WesternAnimation/HuckleberryHound, admitting he is a closeted homosexual. Come 2018, the DC comic ''ComicBook/ExitStageLeftTheSnagglepussChronicles'' does portray Huckleberry Hound as a troubled gay man and this is played for sheer drama up until [[spoiler:he hangs himself after being arrested during an anti-gay raid]].
