Trivia / The Simpsons S8 E1 "Treehouse of Horror VII"

• Creator's Favorite Episode: Matt Groening named this as one of his ten favourite episodes.
• Refitted for Sequel: Originally, "Two Bad Neighbors" was going to end with Richard Nixon moving in after George H. W. Bush moves out, but after Nixon's passing in 1994, they initially rewrote that with Bob Dole moving in before finally having Gerald Ford be the one moving in, believing Ford had been the best politician to represent Homer's personality. Here, "Citizen Kang" has Dole getting abducted.
• Role Reprise: Phil Hartman reprises his impersonation of President Bill Clinton from Saturday Night Live.
• What Could Have Been: Originally, the opening would have parodied The Exorcist, showing Reverend Lovejoy trying to exorcise a possessed Lisa before she vomits onto the camera, and the title card forming from the dripping vomit.
