| 1 | * {{Blooper}}: In the scene where Marvin Monroe says "No! I'm sorry, you're not!", [[https://frinkiac.com/img/S01E04/1205222.jpg Marge's eyes' outline is thicker than usual]]. |
| 2 | * DevelopmentGag: Mr. Burns mistakenly calls Bart "Brat". Although Creator/MattGroening named the whole Simpson family after his own, he gave his AuthorAvatar the name "Bart" [[SelfDeprecation because it was an anagram of "brat"]]. |
| 3 | * FirstAppearance: Lenny, Marvin Monroe, Lou, and Eddie. |
| 4 | ** This is the first time we see Mr. Burns's mansion (though with a much different appearance from what would be standardized later on). |
| 5 | * TheOtherDarrin: Harry Shearer voices Mr. Burns from this episode on, replacing Christopher Collins. |
| 6 | * OutOfOrder: When the series finally premiered on UK terrestrial television - BBC One, to be exact - on 23 November 1996, it ended up being the first shown episode, as opposed to "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS1E1SimpsonsRoastingOnAnOpenFire Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire]]". Previously, the series was available in the UK on the [=Sky1=] cable network, starting on 2 September 1990, with the first episode shown in the mid-season "Call of the Simpsons". |
| 7 | ** Similarly, it was also the first episode to air in Germany on 13 September 1991 for ZDF. |
| 8 | * RecycledScript: Resembles [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwpHXtwjP-8 "Family Therapy"]], ''Series/TheTraceyUllmanShow'' short which aired a year before this episode. While none of the gags from the short are reused, the basic plot (the Simpsons visit a family therapist, only to find they are incurable, and bond over this instead) is the same. |
| 9 | * TechnologyMarchesOn: Homer looks forward to spending the $500 he got from Dr. Monroe on a 21" television, in an era when any TV set over 20" was considered extravagant. |
