A Star is Burns

And Maggie Makes Three

  • The music during the 'where do the bowling pins go' scene is
    Powerhouse. This particular song turns up in many similar scenes and is a favorite of Matt Groening
    .
  • This episode is Ricky Gervais' second favourite episode[6]
  • Technically, Homer's request to God that he "freeze everything exactly as it is" comes true as the basic structure of Homer's life following the conception of Maggie remains mostly unchanged (as a result of the lack of change in The Simpsons universe over countless seasons).
  • The first person listed in the Springfield telephone book, "A. Aaronson", was previously mentioned in "Sideshow Bob Roberts", where he is the first listed person in the list of Springfield registered voters and voted for Sideshow Bob.
  • This is only the second episode to date with "Maggie" in the title.
  • When Homer discovers where the bowling pins go, the man throwing the bowling ball is Jacques from the episode "Life on the Fast Lane".

Bart of Darkness

  • This is the first episode of The Simpsons to air on Sunday nights at 8:00/7c, a timeslot it retains to this day.
  • While in his room, Bart plays Stratego by himself.
  • At one point while looking through his telescope Bart sees
    Jimmy Stewart, who also has his leg broken and watching people from his window, while wearing the same pyjamas he wore through almost the entirety of Rear Window. He even calls out to "Grace", an obvious reference to Stewart's leading lady Grace Kelly
    .
  • This episode, along with many in Season 6, was produced during the
    Northridge earthquake
    of 1994.
  • Nelson's comment about epidermis is close to the fact, but not correct; epidermis is actually the skin, not hair.
  • The content of Bart's play further reinstates his bizarre obsession with the Cockney accent and Victorian England (he previously expressed a desire to live as a bootblack and frequently slips into Nadsat.
  • While Bart and Lisa are in Otto's pool, if you look closely you will see a young Marge lookalike (possibly from Bart the Genius) in the pool as well.

Bart's Comet

Bart's Girlfriend

  • When Bart is marking the days he wants to stay away from Jessica on his calendar, it is noticed that he circles Monday but then he is called for church. Church services are generally held on Sunday in most Christian denominations.
  • Milhouse is able to bounce his jack ball on grass (in the beginning scene where the kids play Cowboys and Indians before getting chased down by their parents).
  • During the part where Captain MacCallister (the Sea Captain) watches a boat crash, his lawyer says that he should have the lighthouse pointed out to sea instead of where the church is. The lights in lighthouses actually rotate; they don't point one way or the other.

Fear of Flying (The Simpsons episode)

  • This is one of the few episodes in which Marge's father is shown. It wasn't until "Jazzy and the Pussycats" that it was explained he had died.
  • According to the DVD commentary, there are five deleted scenes (or parts of scenes) from the episode:
    • After Homer was kicked out of Moe's Tavern, it was originally planned for a cat to come to Homer, and then have it enter the bar. The result is the barflies loving the cat with Moe even loving it when the cat spills sugar all over, and depressing Homer even more. According to David Silverman, the fact that it looked depressing was the reason why it was deleted, and replaced with a more humorous approach with him chasing a poodle.
    • The explanation why there was a spare pilot uniform was that the pilot who had it was on the roof, in his underwear, drunk beyond reasonability, and attempts to fly. The obvious reaction was that he fell off the roof to the ground.
    • Homer made fun of Marge's phobia on the plane. The reason it was cut, according to Silverman, was that it looked like it would make Marge more annoyed than panicky.
    • One of the things Marge had done while channeling her fear into bizarre actions was vacuuming in the middle of the night, but with the vacuum cleaner unplugged.
    • According to Marge, one memory of Homer involved him showing up with a tree branch in his mouth, and back in real life having him with another branch in his mouth. It was cut because, according to David, the branch joke made little sense.
    • At the very end, David Silverman also jokingly suggested that everybody on the plane (except Marge and Homer) died, but was cut out because "it was a bit of a downer".
  • When Moe takes down Homer's picture on his Mount Lushmore wall, the names of the other common bar drunks, Sam (the drunk with the glasses and the cap) and Larry the Lush (the one with the orange coat), are visible.
  • The music during the scene where Homer is at the lesbian bar is the same music from the scene in "Marge on the Lam" where Ruth and Marge go to an underground dance club called "The Hate Box".
  • Homer's Quote to the co-pilot; "As a change of pace, I'm... going to let you do most of the work here." is funnier to actual pilots because, in general, the First Officer would already do most of the work, while it would be generally accepted that the Captain (Homer) does less work.
  • At the end of the DVD version of this episode there is a short audio dedication to Anne Bancroft who passed away shortly after the commentaries for this season's DVDs were recorded. The dedication is read by David Mirkin who cites Anne Bancroft as a particular comedic inspiration to him and states that the film 'The Graduate' (which Bancroft starred in) as the reason he got into comedy.

Homer the Great

  • At the end of the credits, on the Gracie Films logo, you can hear Carl saying “shhh… shut up!” instead of the usual “shhh!”
  • Lenny says that the Stonecutters don’t call each other by name, yet in the episode, Lenny calls Homer by name, and Number One calls Moe by name as well.
  • The ending with Homer being hit with paddles by the other members in the Simpson house was almost cut because it looked too cruel and mean for Homer after all he had been through in the episode, but David Silverman kept it in because he thought it is just a joke and the other family members were just joking themselves.
  • Homer’s license plate reads R8DAT, and a car close to it reads ANIM8R.
  • It is revealed that the Simpson house is right next to the
    Springfield Nuclear Power Plant
    ’s parking lot. Likely to be a one-off gag, as all later episodes do not show it.
  • In the Stonecutters’ meeting place, there are Masonic symbols visible, such as the “rulers and G.”
  • According to the Stonecutters the proper phone number for emergency services is 9-1-2, not
    9-1-1
    . 9-1-2 was also used in the season three episode, "Dog of Death" where Wiggum watches the lottery and hangs up on someone calling 911 by saying that the number they called was 9-1-2.
  • It is rather ironic that
    $pringfield
    ,” when the “germs” on Smithers’s face said “Freemasons run the country!”

Homie the Clown

  • Officially, this episode is titled "Homie the Clown", but it is still known as "Homer the Clown" in some places, including The Simpsons Archive.
  • This episode is the first to reveal that
    Kirk Van Houten works at a cracker
    factory.
  • It is also revealed that Fat Tony apparently works for "Don Vittorio DiMaggio", who admits to being an Italian stereotype. Don Vittorio appears in non-speaking roles in later episodes.
  • It is actually possible to tell Homer and Krusty apart when Homer is in costume. Krusty has a third tuft of hair on his head, while Homer has his normal two strands of hair. Krusty also has an actual clown nose, while Homer's nose is just painted red. They are also different shapes, with Krusty's nose being more of an oval shape and Homer's nose being long and protruding, like a breadstick. Also, of course their voices sound different & Homer's skin is yellow whilst Krusty's skin is white.
  • While Homer is being carried into the mob's lair, he lies his name is Benedict Arnold, and one of the mob replies, "The same Benedict Arnold who surrendered the Western Point to the hated British?". The world "hated" is cut in UK airings as it is obviously very offensive to UK viewers, but this is still available on Uk copies of the Complte Sixth Season DVD Boxset.
  • The ending is a twist-As Krusty had to pay a measly $48 dollars to complete the deal, and if he had given in at the start, the entire "Clown College" plot wouldn't have began.

Lisa on Ice

  • When Chief Wiggum is talking to Snake in the prison, Snake's shirt has the number 7F20 on it. This is the production code for "The War of the Simpsons", the first episode in which Snake makes an appearance.
  • When Lisa throws a snowball at Bart in the beginning of the episode, she is able to hit him fairly well, yet when she crumples up her academic alert and tries to throw it, it travels a very short distance.
  • Lou and Eddie
    sit behind Marge and Homer in the "Lisa vs. Bart" game, although, Eddie has a different hair styling than usual.
  • During Bart's penalty shot, the clock counts down which is not supposed to happen (the clock should remain stopped).
  • Lisa's notice that she is failing gym contains the word "WARNING:" followed by strings of letters which do not form valid words in the
    English Language such as "Tsnhoji", "Namreb", "Toi", "Easlnpxit", "Alne", "Saeonarf" and "Trauts". "Parents [sic] Signature" on the form should contain an apostrophe
    .
  • This episode aired during the 1994-95 NHL Lockout.
  • This episode's final credits are occasionally played at Calgary Flames' hockey games on the organ.

Lisa's Rival

  • Although Allison is seen very often after this episode, she never has a distinct speaking role again. She does, however, have a minute role in "Lard of the Dance".

Lisa's Wedding

Sideshow Bob Roberts

The PTA Disbands!

The Springfield Connection

  • Some of the 'extreme' magazines Marge browse over include
    bear baiting
    , even glassing eating.
  • Because of Moe's ridicule of Homer for using the word "garage", fans jokingly refer to a garage, or garage-like structure as a "car hole", as Moe does.[citation needed]
  • About 50 seconds of the episode feature an excessive amount of laughing: when Marge joins the force, when she quits the force, and when Homer pranks Flanders.
  • The show often implies that Wiggum, Lou, and Eddie are the only cops in Springfield, which is specifically stated in the Season 14 episode 'Scuse Me While I Miss the Sky. However, in many other episodes (Marge on the Lam, for example), a much larger police force is seen such as in this episode. The nature of this conflicting canon is most likely attributed to the series' very loose continuity.
  • Upon Marge's first day on the job, she passes the "Junkytown Legal Clinic". This could mean that Junkyville and Bumtown, the two areas of town Marge is policing, are adjacent, and that the legal clinic services both areas.

Two Dozen and One Greyhounds

  • The puppies are named Rover, Fido, Rex, Spot, Rover II, Fido II, Rex II, Cleo, Dave, Jay, Paul, Branford, Dave II, Jay II, Paul II, Branford II, Sleepy, Dopey, Grumpy, Donner, Blitzen, Grumpy II, King, Queenie, Prince and The Puppy Formerly Known As Prince. (Note that this adds up to 26 puppies, rather than 25.)
  • The scene where Santa's Little Helper is having sex with She's The Fastest was originally supposed to be shown in full, but the networks complained. On all Fox network broadcasts , the sex scene was replaced with a frozen shot of the Simpson family in the stands reacting to it. All other broadcasts in North America (including syndication and the DVD version), however, reframe the original scene to only have Santa's Little Helper shown from the shoulders up as he's mounting She's The Fastest for a few seconds, in such a way that someone could barely tell he'd caught her. Apparently, some TV broadcasts in New Zealand have shown the full sex scene (which was originally an animatic that was never put to animation until after the episode aired, according to the DVD commentary).
  • The
    Screwed the Pooch
    " has a similar scene where a family dog (Brian/Santa's Little Helper) has sex with a racing dog (Seabreeze/She's the Fastest) during a race.

    ).
  • The scene in which an ice cream truck driver passes Bart and Lisa claiming to be out of ice cream and adding "it's true, you know", references the claim often made to children by parents: "if the ice cream man is playing music, it means he's run out".

  • Tom and Jerry
    ), along with shorts featuring new characters produced to fill out the program. Often, the characters failed to catch on with viewers and were quickly forgotten.
  • AM radio — Homer's inability to find popular music programming on several AM stations he tunes in reflects the programming changes many AM stations underwent since the late 1980s, wherein their music formats were replaced with talk, news, sports and religion. The music formats, for the most part, would be switched to FM frequencies.
  • "American Top 40" — The "Sign of Evil" countdown – hosted by a Casey Kasem soundalike and heard on one of the radio stations Homer tunes in — is a spoof of the weekly radio program.

  • Euro Disney

  • The episode references the movie The Fugitive in the scene where Milhouse is thought to be a criminal on America's Most Wanted. Later, Milhouse is at the end of a drainpipe on the top of a dam being gunned down by an FBI agent resembling Tommy Lee Jones.
  • The episode also references the backup artists of popular music groups. Known as "The Second Best Band" the band includes Art Garfunkel, Jim Messina, John Oates, and Lisa Simpson. The song they play is called "Born to Runner-up," a reference to the popular song, "Born to Run".

And Maggie Makes Three

  • Homer's calendar reminds him that
    The Tonight Show With Jay Leno, however, Jay Leno did not become host of The Tonight Show until 1992, several years after Maggie was "technically" born (as she appeared in many episodes that aired prior to 1992, including several episodes where Johnny Carson
    is seen as the host of The Tonight Show).
  • Homer's job in this episode contradicts his position in the nuclear plant, as he did not get promoted to safety inspector until "
    Homer's Odyssey
    ".
  • Ruth Powers is at Marge's baby shower even though she didn't move to Springfield until "New Kid on the Block".
  • When Homer gets back to the Simpson home, after crawling back to Mr. Burns to get his job back, while he's talking to a pregnant Marge, a picture of Maggie in her "present day" state is on the wall.
  • The Simpsons weren't living at 742 Evergreen Terrace until well after Lisa was conceived, yet the two flashbacks show Homer running up the stairs in their current home.
  • The "Don't Forget. You're Here Forever"/"Do It For Her" plaque only appears for this episode.
  • In the flashbacks of Marge telling Homer she's pregnant, when Homer runs up stairs on the wall going up the stair case there is a picture of Lisa although she wasn't even born yet.
  • The flashbacks of Homer ripping out his hair when Marge announced the births of Bart and Lisa contradicts how Homer reacted to the pregnancies in "I Married Marge" and "Lisa's First Word". In "I Married Marge", Homer and Marge were in Doctor Hibbert's office and Dr. Hibbert broke the news that Marge was pregnant (by implying that he knows why she's been throwing up in the morning), to which Homer shouts, "D'oh!", which echoes down the hall, causing some guy in a body cast to say, "Poor guy" (and in the same episode, Homer's hair fell out naturally, Marge was living with her mom and sisters, and Homer was living with Barney Gumble, so there was no way they could have lived in the house that they live in now because that house wasn't shown until Lisa's First Word). In "Lisa's First Word", Homer and Marge were living in a rundown apartment (and didn't live in the house that they live in now until Grampa sold his house and gave Homer a check to pay for the house), Marge told Homer that she was pregnant herself, and Homer was happy about it until baby Bart flushed his car keys down the toilet.
  • When Homer carries Marge up the stairs they go through a door that shows the other bedrooms but in every single episode before and after and in this episode it leads to the bathroom (shown when Marge beats Homer to the bathroom so she can throw up).

Bart of Darkness

  • The wall of Dr. Hibbert's workout room (seen through Bart's telescope lens) features caucasian (yellow in the Simpson world) family portraits.
  • Lisa's voice comes out of Bart's mouth when she stops him from saying "Can we have a pool dad?".

Grampa vs. Sexual Inadequacy

The Springfield Connection

  • In the promo for this episode, Marge is wearing a pink shirt with a rainbow, a unicorn, and stars on it when she comments that the police academy didn't have a shirt in her size. In the actual episode, the shirt is a white T-shirt with a Hard Rock Cafe logo on it.
  • When Marge is driving through the obstacle course, she wears a plain white shirt, but when she pulls up next to Chief Wiggum, she's in a blue police officer's jacket (despite that in the next scene, she says that there were none in her size, which is why she wore the Hard Rock Cafe shirt home).
  • Snake is holding his knife in his left hand when he attacks Marge in the alley, yet Marge manages to hit Snake with a garbage can lid coming from Snake's left side without him blocking it.
  • When Marge is catching Snake, the pearls on her neck are white, instead of red.
  • When Marge mulls in her head about how everyone is breaking the law, she notices the dog without a leash, but not the man behind the dog jaywalking.
  • Chief Wiggum's blue hair turns black at night. This was also seen in Homie the Clown.
  • The doors of the Kwik-E-Mart are located at the front instead of the side.
