Trivia / The Simpsons S18E18 "The Boys of Bummer"

• Cowboy BeBop at His Computer: Some summaries, including the Simpsons website's own summary, say that Bart meets Bill Buckner, when it's actually an expy of him.
• Deleted Scene: A scene left out of the episode had Homer calling Mr. Burns to announce he was quitting his job at the plant to become a mattress tester, but got the following message:
  Burns' voicemail: You've reached C. Montgomery Burns. If this is Homer Simpsons quitting again, press 1. If this is Satan, please stay on the line. Your call is important to me.
• Recycled Script: This is a rehash of "Million Dollar Abie". They both involve a member of the Simpson family (Grampa and Bart respectively) becoming a pariah over a sports-related mishap, to the point they attempt suicide. Though in the former's case, it only took over the first act, whereas the latter became the episode's main dilemma.
