* HarsherInHindsight: In this episode, Mr. Burns goes to Jerry Rude's radio show expecting a straightforward interview but is humiliated instead. Less than a week after this episode aired, Creator/DanaPlato appeared at The Howard Stern Show and was subjected to mockery by callers, and despite Howard's defenses, she was so badly shaken that she killed herself the following day.
