Trivia / The Simpsons S 11 E 14 Alone Again Natura Diddily

• Creator Backlash: Mike Reiss admitted in his 2018 book Springfield Confidential that he had come to deeply regret ever killing off Maude, seeing it as just another one of the show's multiple failed attempts to create new stories.
• Technology Marches On:
  • When making the dating video for Ned Flanders, we see Homer and Lisa working on editing the video with Lisa using a linear video editing machine (labeled as "My 1st Video Editor," parodying the "My First Sony" line of electronics) hooked up to two VCRs connected to the living room TV (with Homer insistent on just using the "star wipe" for all scene transitions). Later seasons that depict any video editing show it done on computers using nonlinear video editing software.
  • Video dating is depicted as being done via browsing through video tapes instead of visiting profiles on dating websites.
