** It was initially uncertain whether or not Jack Sheldon would be available to perform the "Amendment to Be" song -- either due to scheduling difficulties or Sheldon being unwell, depending on the source -- and he wasn't confirmed until the eleventh hour. Had Sheldon been unavailable, then the song would have been performed by Creator/PhilHartman, who had already been booked to play Lionel Hutz in the episode.

* AccidentallyCorrectWriting: Lionel Hutz asking the Meyers legal team if they have a copy of ''Manhattan Mouse'' sounds like he's being an idiot and begging his opponents to help him out. However, this is a real legal concept; as part of the rules of civil discovery, one can indeed request evidence from their opponent if it's likely to help one's case, and the opponent ignoring or refusing to comply with those requests can result in fines and penalties. Really, the only part of it that's wrong is that Hutz is asking in the middle of the trial, rather than in the evidence-gathering phase.

However, despite reading his lines all at once, he only had trouble with one scene; the scene in which Lampwick tells Bart he created ''Itchy & Scratchy'' required three takes, as Douglas continuously misread the line "I changed all that" as "I charged all that".
