* DeletedScene: When Homer is shown answering phones that are constantly ringing, he picks up and answers "Hello? 'Fraid not." "Hello? Nope, Sorry." "Hello? No, can't help ya." He then stops and thinks for a moment, then ask Mr. Burns if his first name is Montgomery. Mr. Burns says yes, and Homer says "D'oh----n't worry, those calls weren't for you..." revealing that people were asking for Mr. Burns, but he did not know Mr. Burns' first name. Possibly a reference to a scene in Blood Feud where he tried to take Mr. Burns' mail, but did not know his first name.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Marge mentions that Homer doesn't usually wake up until 6 a.m., when ''The Little Rascals'' is on. Before the mid-1990s, stations not affiliated with any of the three networks (as well as several cable channels) would dedicate their morning schedules to broadcast old short subjects and cartoons. However, by the time this episode aired in 1996, "classic" blocks were being phased out, being replaced by news/talk programming on UHF stations or more recent shows on cable.
