* DistancedFromCurrentEvents: In early UK broadcasts of the story, the footage of Krusty's on-air heart attack was reduced to just Kent Brockman briefly describing it in voice-over, due to the similarities between the scene and the death of British comedian Tommy Cooper, who died from a heart attack on live television just a few years earlier (they couldn't cut all references to Krusty's heart attack, as it was a major plot point in Bart and Lisa figuring out that the "Krusty" who robbed the Kwik-E-Mart was an imposter).

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Originally it was intended that Scott Christian would be the show's regular news anchor character, with Kent Brockman only making sporadic appearances despite his name being the one used to advertise the news bulletin. This plan was dropped almost immediately when the producers realized they'd succeeded a little ''too'' much in making Christian a crushing bore, though they kept him around for occasions when either Brockman was reporting in the field, or they needed a second anchor to act as a foil for him.
