*A continuity error in this episode is, in the scene where Bart is shown sitting tied up on the couch and Ms. Botz walks in carrying a tied-up Lisa in her arms before dumping her on the sofa alongside Bart, you can see quite clearly that the rope Ms. Botz has used to bind Lisa is wound right around her body from the neck right down to her ankles.

*In later seasons, [[List of recurring characters in The Simpsons#Agnes Skinner|Agnes Skinner]]'s personality seems vastly different to her kindly demeanor in this episode. In the [[DVD]] [[audio commentary]], Matt Groening offers the theory that her current mean streak can be attributed to being a victim of Bart's prank. ([[The Crepes of Wrath]])

*In the scene where Homer and another man are making the announcement to everyone, if you look very carefully you can see a man in the background who looks like ''Brad Goodman'' from [[The Simpsons (season 5)|season 5]] episode "[[Bart's Inner Child]]". ([[Homer's Odyssey (The Simpsons)]])
*In the script, the opening scene with Lisa looking into the mirror is called "an [[Ingmar Bergman]] moment." ([[Moaning Lisa]])
*Ironically, Nelson doesn't say "Haw Haw!" (which he would later be infamous for) at all in his first episode, and didn't use it until "[[Three Men and a Comic Book]]" in Season 2. ([[Bart the General]])
*Jacques appears again in The Simpson's [[The Simpsons (season 7)|7th Season]] episode "[[Team Homer]]" and makes a brief cameo as a bowler in the past in "[[And Maggie Makes Three]]" He also appears in the "Do the Bartman" music video and virtually every time the Bowlarama is seen. ([[Life on the Fast Lane]])

*Marge pulls a [[List of fictional characters within The Simpsons#Radioactive Man|Radioactive Man]] [[comic book]] from inside Bart's jacket before leaving the house for church. ([[The Telltale Head]])
*Marge's drawing of Homer is quite crude, in later seasons it would be established she is actually an accomplished artist. ([[There's No Disgrace Like Home]])
*Marge's shoe size is 13 AA. ([[Life on the Fast Lane]])
*Mr. Burns' voice is slightly different than usual. This is because [[Christopher Collins]] performed his voice for this episode. ([[Homer's Odyssey (The Simpsons)]])
*Mrs. Krabappel tells the children to keep their arms in the bus and says, "We all know the tragic story of the young man who stuck his arm out the window and had it ripped off by a big truck coming in the other direction." To which Bart says (with his arm in his shirt), "And I was that boy!" Two episodes later, in "[[Bart the General]]", Bart asks [[List of recurring characters in The Simpsons#Herman|Herman]] whether he lost his arm in the war, to which Herman warns Bart, "Next time your teacher tells you to keep your arm inside the bus window, you do it!" ([[Homer's Odyssey (The Simpsons)]])
*Ms. Botz makes a background appearance in the mental hospital in "[[Hurricane Neddy]]". ([[Some Enchanted Evening (The Simpsons)]])
*Occasionally, this episode is called "Jacques to Be Wild". When the episode was originally planned, it called for Albert Brooks to voice "Björn" (a parody to [[Björn Borg]]), a [[Sweden|Swedish]] [[tennis]] instructor, but Albert Brooks thought it would be better to make Brooks' character French. The title was, therefore, originally "Bjorn to Be Wild". ([[Life on the Fast Lane]])

*Signs at Bob's RV-Roundup (formerly RVs R Us): "We give credit to everyone!"; "Bad Credit. Good!"; "Bankruptcy Shmankruptcy." ([[The Call of the Simpsons]])
*The DVD does, however, contain two scenes that were not in the original broadcast; an extended remark from Otto ("It's beautiful, man!"; "man" was not in the original broadcast), and Homer telling Bart that "most lynch mobs aren't this nice". These scenes add to five seconds; note, however, that the run time for this episode on the Season 1 DVD set is 22:42, and the run time for its original broadcast is 23:05. Bart mentions earlier in the episode that the story takes "about 23 minutes and five seconds" to tell; the story itself is only 17 minutes and 10 seconds, though this more likely refers to the length of the full episode. ([[The Telltale Head]])
*The Season 1 [[List of The Simpsons DVDs|DVD boxset]] is missing two scenes from the episode: one where Bart told the crowd that, after decapitating the town statue, he realized he was taking his heritage for granted (an issue that would later resurface in Season 7's "[[Lisa the Iconoclast]]"), and another with church bells ringing. It is rumored that these scenes, which add up to 28 seconds, were added to comply with an FCC regulation that all [[cartoon]]s must include this length of educational content. ([[The Telltale Head]])

*The breaking Bigfoot report interrupts the president's address. ([[The Call of the Simpsons]])

*The episode marks the first appearance of: ([[Homer's Odyssey (The Simpsons)]])

*The exact title of this episode can be found to vary slightly in different sources. One of the most common variations is ''There's No Place Like Homer''.  ([[There's No Disgrace Like Home]])

*The family that Marvin Monroe cures are a younger version of The Simpsons. ([[There's No Disgrace Like Home]])

*The police dog's name is Bobo, which would later be used of the name for Mr. Burns' teddy bear in "[[Rosebud (The Simpsons)|Rosebud]]". When Homer is saying that they have to get $250 for the therapy, a teddybear that looks exactly like Bobo can be seen on a lower shelf near the stereo. ([[There's No Disgrace Like Home]])
*The season 18 episode "[[Moe'N'a Lisa]]"'s title may have been a slight reference to this episode's title. ([[Moaning Lisa]])
*The stores Homer passes in the Springfield Mall are The International House of [[Answering machine|Answering Machines]], The [[Jerky (food)|Jerky]] Hut (too salty), The Ear [[Earring|Piercery]], The [[Caramel corn|Caramel Corn]] Warehouse (too corny), and [[Girdle]]s n' Such Fancy [[Lingerie]] (too exciting).

([[There's No Disgrace Like Home]])
*This episode is usually shown as the first episode of Season 1 on German television as "Eine ganz normale Familie" (An ordinary family) and was the first to be aired on Premiere in 1991 and later that year on ZDF. The German DVD release of season 1 puts it into the US order of episodes. It was most likely chosen as episode 1 because it introduces a lot of characters and explains how the Simpsons work as a family. The Tracy Ullman sketches had not been seen in Germany. ([[There's No Disgrace Like Home]])
*This episode marks the first appearance of [[Ralph Wiggum]], however his appearance, his mannerisms, and his voice are different from how he would be for the rest of the series. ([[Moaning Lisa]])
*This episode marks the first appearance of: ([[Bart the General]], [[There's No Disgrace Like Home]])
*This episode marks the first appearances of [[Carl Carlson]] (though his voice is different) and Shawna Tifton (Princess Kashmir), who is seen again in "[[Lisa's Pony]]", in which she is dating Apu. ([[Homer's Night Out]])
*This episode very much sums up the differences in character in the first season, with Marge being the one showing the family up, and Homer being ashamed by his family and striving to do better. Most surprising of all is Homer selling the television set - something the more recognised Homer of later seasons would ''never'' do. ([[There's No Disgrace Like Home]])
*This episode was the first to be broadcast by the [[BBC]], on [[BBC One]] on [[23 November]] [[1996]], making it the first episode to be seen by [[United Kingdom|UK]] [[terrestrial television|terrestrial]] viewers (the [[satellite television|satellite]] channel [[Sky1|Sky One]] had shown the program since [[1990]]).

*This is the first episode in which [[Flanders family|Rod Flanders]] appears, but it is very brief. ([[The Call of the Simpsons]])

*This was the first episode seen in Australia on [[Network Ten|Channel Ten]] on February 3, 1991 . {{Fact|date=February 2007}} ([[There's No Disgrace Like Home]])

I don't speak English...Here's a piece of candy...I'm sorry, I really would like to be able to help you). ([[The Crepes of Wrath]])
*When Dr. Marvin Monroe says "I'm as sure as my voice is annoying.", this is referencing how difficult and annoying it was for Harry Shearer to provide Monroe's voice. As commented on audio commentaries in both the first and third season DVD sets, this is much of the reason that Marvin Monroe seldom appeared in the series, and partly why he was "killed off" in season 6.  ([[Some Enchanted Evening (The Simpsons)]])
*When Homer reaches the bridge he is almost run over by who appears to be [[Hans Moleman]], who zooms by in a car. ([[Homer's Odyssey (The Simpsons)]])
*While Bart is in France, he stays at the “Château Maison”, which means “Castle House” in English. ([[The Crepes of Wrath]])
*While watching the boxing-match at Moe's, Homer says that his mother said to him: "Homer, you're a big disappointment". Given what we know from later episodes, it is more likely that Homer's ''father'' would say something like that. ([[There's No Disgrace Like Home]])

A similar mistake was made with Sherri and Terri's father, also drawn as black, despite his children both being ghost-white (He hasn't appeared in the show since, even at events such as their birthday party, where their much whiter-skinned mother was present.). Perhaps Sherri and Terri are [[Multiracial|biracial]]. ([[Homer's Odyssey (The Simpsons)]])

===[[Bart the General]]===
*This episode marks the first appearance of:
**[[Nelson Muntz]]
**[[List of recurring characters in The Simpsons#Herman|Herman]]
**[[Springfield Elementary School#Elizabeth Hoover|Miss Hoover]] (First mention)
*Ironically, Nelson doesn't say "Haw Haw!" (which he would later be infamous for) at all in his first episode, and didn't use it until "[[Three Men and a Comic Book]]" in Season 2.
*Lisa calls her teacher "Mrs. Hoover" instead of "Miss Hoover." 
*During their first fight, Nelson hits Bart twelve times in the face before he knocks Bart out.
*This is the first episode we see Bart cry. Homer then proceeds to dry his tears with a hairdryer.
*This is the first episode we see [[List of fictional locations in The Simpsons#Springfield Retirement Castle|Springfield Retirement Castle]], the retirement home where Grampa Simpson lives.
*Maggie does not appear in this episode 
*Grampa's list of words he does not want to hear on television again:
* 1. Bra

* 3. Family Jewels
*[[Milhouse Van Houten|Milhouse]] now has blue hair (he had black hair in "Bart the Genius").
*There are African shields and spears in Herman's antique shop.
*Bart asks Herman whether he lost his arm in the war, to which Herman warns Bart, "Next time your teacher tells you to keep your arm inside the bus window, you do it!" Two episodes earlier, in "[[Homer's Odyssey (The Simpsons)]]", Mrs. Krabappel tells the children to keep their arms in the bus and says, "We all know the tragic story of the young man who stuck his arm out the window and had it ripped off by a big truck coming in the other direction." However the audio commentary stated that it was supposed to be a running gag that Herman would explain his missing arm differently each time.
*In the [[Czech language|Czech]]-dubbed version Herman is portrayed as a [[Neo-Nazism|Neo-Nazist]], greeting Bart with the words "[[Sieg Heil]], mein Junge" and claiming that he lost his arm while hailing from a bus.
*The children go after the sandbag with a [[plunger]], a [[feather duster]] and [[flyswatter]]s, before Herman finishes it off with a [[bayonet]].
*Bart and his army use a classic [[Pincer movement|Pincer's movement]] to attack Nelson. "It can't fail against a ten-year-old!"
*In Herman's model of the town, he spells the "Kwik-E-Mart" as "Quick-E-Mart." 
*Marge brings the cupcakes in before Nelson signs the treaty and we never actually see him sign it.
*In the [[United Kingdom]], this was one of the first episodes released on video cassette in the early 1990s, and thus was many viewers' introduction to the series (especially in the days before the series was shown on [[terrestrial television]]).
*In Bart's first dream sequence, he throws 10 knives at Nelson, and shoots at him 98 times.
===[[Homer's Night Out]]===
*This episode marks the first appearances of [[Carl Carlson]] (though his voice is different) and Shawna Tifton (Princess Kashmir), who is seen again in "[[Lisa's Pony]]", in which she is dating Apu.
*On the photocopying machine it says 5 cents on the label but it says 10 cents on the coin slot

*On their way to Springfield Powerplant the children pass the Springfield Toxic Waste Dump, the Springfield Tire Yard (which is not on fire as of yet), the Springfield State Prison, and Springfield Elementary School.
*Mrs. Krabappel tells the children to keep their arms in the bus and says, "We all know the tragic story of the young man who stuck his arm out the window and had it ripped off by a big truck coming in the other direction." To which Bart says (with his arm in his shirt), "And I was that boy!" Two episodes later, in "[[Bart the General]]", Bart asks [[List of recurring characters in The Simpsons#Herman|Herman]] whether he lost his arm in the war, to which Herman warns Bart, "Next time your teacher tells you to keep your arm inside the bus window, you do it!"
*A sign at the plant reads, "Our Safety Record: [7] Days Since Last Accident."
*[[Bart Simpson|Bart's]] report card includes an F in Social Studies, an F in Math, a D in Physical Education, a U in Science, a U in Reading, and a U in Writing.
*Homer pens his [[suicide]] note on "Dumb Things I Gotta Do Today" stationery. And his suicide attempt is a simulation [[Virginia Woolf]] died.
*When Homer reaches the bridge he is almost run over by who appears to be [[Hans Moleman]], who zooms by in a car.
*El Barto is signed on the steps of city hall when Chief Wiggum talks about the graffiti problem in Springfield. He then passes around an artist sketch of the culprit who looks like an older and tougher Bart Simpson.
*''Springfield Shopper'' headlines: "Simpson Says Safe!," "Dozens Cheer Homer Simpson," "Homer Simpson Strikes Again!," "Watch Out, Here Comes Homer," and "Enough Already, Homer Simpson!"
*In the scene where Homer and another man are making the announcement to everyone, if you look very carefully you can see a man in the background who looks like ''Brad Goodman'' from [[The Simpsons (season 5)|season 5]] episode "[[Bart's Inner Child]]".
*Mr. Burns' voice is slightly different than usual. This is because [[Christopher Collins]] performed his voice for this episode.
*[[Waylon Smithers]] was accidentally animated as an [[African American]] due to a communication error with Korean animators. The mistake was explained as Smithers had an extreme suntan. A similar mistake was made with Sherri and Terri's father, also drawn as black, despite his children both being ghost-white (He hasn't appeared in the show since, even at events such as their birthday party, where their much whiter-skinned mother was present.). Perhaps Sherri and Terri are [[Multiracial|biracial]].
===[[Krusty Gets Busted]]===
*Krusty's main clown competition is Hobo Hank. Hobos were among the acts Krusty claims to have flattened in "Krusty Gets Kancelled."
*In a flashback of Krusty's heart attack, he is advertising pork products. Being a rabbi's son, it is ironic to eat pork, being against Jewish dietary laws.
===[[Life on the Fast Lane]]===
*Occasionally, this episode is called "Jacques to Be Wild". When the episode was originally planned, it called for Albert Brooks to voice "Björn" (a parody to [[Björn Borg]]), a [[Sweden|Swedish]] [[tennis]] instructor, but Albert Brooks thought it would be better to make Brooks' character French. The title was, therefore, originally "Bjorn to Be Wild".
*Albert Brooks is credited under the name "A. Brooks" in this episode, as with all his other appearances on ''[[The Simpsons]]''. 
*The stores Homer passes in the Springfield Mall are The International House of [[Answering machine|Answering Machines]], The [[Jerky (food)|Jerky]] Hut (too salty), The Ear [[Earring|Piercery]], The [[Caramel corn|Caramel Corn]] Warehouse (too corny), and [[Girdle]]s n' Such Fancy [[Lingerie]] (too exciting).
*Among the past birthday gifts Homer has given to Marge are a [[Fishing tackle|tackle]] box and a [[Connie Chung]] calendar.
*Marge's shoe size is 13 AA.
*Jacques strangely loses his French accent when he calls out, "Four onion rings!"
*The moon is seen to have three craters on it, much like a bowling ball when Jacques is dropping her off.
*Jacques takes Marge to Shorty's Coffee Shop for brunch.
*[[Hank Azaria]] does not take part in this episode
*This is Helen Lovejoy and [[Lenny Leonard|Lenny's]] first appearance.
*This Is Also The First Apprence Of Charlie, Jaques& Barneys Bowlarama
*Jacques lives at the Fiesta Terrace.
*Jacques appears again in The Simpson's [[The Simpsons (season 7)|7th Season]] episode "[[Team Homer]]" and makes a brief cameo as a bowler in the past in "[[And Maggie Makes Three]]" He also appears in the "Do the Bartman" music video and virtually every time the Bowlarama is seen.
*The plot of this episode was submitted to the [[Dear Abby]] column disguised as a real-life problem. [http://www.snopes.com/humor/mediagoofs/dearabby.asp]
*At one point, creator Matt Groening cited this as his favourite episode (to the surprise of many fans).{{Fact|date=March 2007}} 
* Like Bart The General, the opening sequence is quickly cut off
* In popular terminology a gift given with the selfish intent of being used by the giver rather than the receiver is referred to as a "bowling ball for Marge," citing this episode.
===[[Moaning Lisa]]===
*Lisa brushes her teeth with "Glum Toothpaste".
*In the script, the opening scene with Lisa looking into the mirror is called "an [[Ingmar Bergman]] moment."
*Lisa finds Bleeding Gums Murphy on the same bridge Homer was going to jump off of in order to commit suicide in "[[Homer's Odyssey (The Simpsons)]]".
*Bart's prank call to Moe: Bart calls Moe's Tavern and asks for Jacques, last name Strap. Moe's response: "When I find you I am going to gut you like a fish and drink your blood." This is the second prank call. Moe's hair is now gray.
*This episode marks the first appearance of [[Ralph Wiggum]], however his appearance, his mannerisms, and his voice are different from how he would be for the rest of the series.
*The season 18 episode "[[Moe'N'a Lisa]]"'s title may have been a slight reference to this episode's title.
*Lisa is wailing out for "the [[Homelessness|homeless]] family living out of its [[Automobile|car]], the [[Iowa]] [[farmer]] whose land has been taken away by unfeeling [[bureaucrat]]s, the [[West Virginia]] [[Coal mining|coal miner]]..."
*The note from [[Seymour Skinner|Principal Skinner]] says, "Lisa refuses to play [[dodgeball]] because she is sad."
*Games at the Noise Land Video Arcade, the games include Eat My Shorts, PAC-RAT II, Itchy vs. Scratchy, Escape from Grandma's House, and [[Robert Goulet]] Destroyer.
===[[Some Enchanted Evening (The Simpsons)]]===
*The episode's production number is '''7G01''', as it was the first ''Simpsons'' episode produced and, if not for the aforementioned animation problems, it would have served as the series premiere.
*Dr. Marvin Monroe's Therapy Hotline number is 555-PAIN.
*When Dr. Marvin Monroe says "I'm as sure as my voice is annoying.", this is referencing how difficult and annoying it was for Harry Shearer to provide Monroe's voice. As commented on audio commentaries in both the first and third season DVD sets, this is much of the reason that Marvin Monroe seldom appeared in the series, and partly why he was "killed off" in season 6. 
*The name of the baby sitting service Marge calls is: Rubber Baby Buggy Bumper Baby-sitting Service.
*Homer maintains a clean shaven appearance for exactly seven seconds. Then his beard stubble starts to grow back. 
*Chilly is the elf who cannot love.
*The number for America's Most Armed and Dangerous is 1-800-U-SQUEAL.
*The name of the band at the restaurant is The Larry Davis Experience. They would return for the party in "[[Homer to the Max]]". 
*Maggie falls over 22 times. ([[The Simpsons: A Complete Guide to Our Favorite Family]] says 19.)
*One of the elves' faces on the title card for the elves movie resembles [[Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Hubert Farnsworth]], a character in Matt Groening's later show, ''[[Futurama]]''.
*A continuity error in this episode is, in the scene where Bart is shown sitting tied up on the couch and Ms. Botz walks in carrying a tied-up Lisa in her arms before dumping her on the sofa alongside Bart, you can see quite clearly that the rope Ms. Botz has used to bind Lisa is wound right around her body from the neck right down to her ankles. A few shots later when Maggie comes down and frees her, the rope tying Lisa's legs together at the knees has disappeared.
*Ms. Botz makes a background appearance in the mental hospital in "[[Hurricane Neddy]]".
*This Marks The First Appearance Of:
**[[List of recurring characters in The Simpsons#Arnie Pie|Arnie Pie]] (As "Bill Pie"; Not Seen)
**[[Media in The Simpsons#KBBL|KBBL]]
**The [[List of fictional characters within The Simpsons#Happy Little Elves|Happy Little Elves]]
*This Is the first Technical Appearance Of:
**[[List of recurring characters in The Simpsons#Dr. Marvin Monroe|Dr. Marvin Monroe]]
**[[Moe Szyslak]]
**[[Barney Gumble]]
** Sam & Larry
===[[The Call of the Simpsons]]===
*Flanders makes $27 more a week than Homer does (although this is based on Ned's original job at a pharmaceutical company, not the Leftorium).
*Signs at Bob's RV-Roundup (formerly RVs R Us): "We give credit to everyone!"; "Bad Credit. Good!"; "Bankruptcy Shmankruptcy."
*The Ultimate Behemoth RV: two-stories high with a fireplace, a full kitchen, four deep fryers---"one for each part of the chicken," a big-screen television set, and its own satellite, the Vanstar I.
*The breaking Bigfoot report interrupts the president's address.
*Signs advertising the Bigfoot cottage industry include "[[Products produced from The Simpsons#H|Half-Man, Half-Ape Burgers]]" and "Get Your Photo Taken with Bigfoot."
*The fact that Homer is indeed the missing link is referenced again in "[[The Monkey Suit]]".
*This is the first episode to feature [[Albert Brooks]] as a guest star. Like all his appearances, he is credited as ''A. Brooks''.
*Bart wears his "lucky red hat" for the first time in this episode.
*This is the first episode in which [[Flanders family|Rod Flanders]] appears, but it is very brief.
*This episode was the theme of a [[Burger King]] promotion including kids meal toys and collectable cups.
*At the time of production, the writers and producers felt that this episode had the potential to be made into a two-part story. However, they eventually decided to make it as a single episode.
===[[The Crepes of Wrath]]===
*Homer mistakes Albanians for albinos
*Seymor's nickname is “Spanky”, according to Mrs. Skinner.
*Adil is from [[Tirana]], Albania.
*While Bart is in France, he stays at the “Château Maison”, which means “Castle House” in English.
*The donkey's name is Maurice.
*Bart has to go get antifreeze from 74 [[Voltaire]] Street (74 rue Voltaire); the 7 is drawn European-style, with a horizontal line through the middle.
*Early in the episode, there is some actual dialogue in [[Albanian language|Albanian]] between Adil and his family, but later on the dialogue is just gibberish. The dialogue in [[French language|French]] is very loosely translated, but correct, however. 
**The only notable mistake is that César's line ''"Qu'est-ce que je t'avais dit?"'' (What have I been telling you?) is translated as "He sees well enough", however, César's argument to Ugolin was that adding too much [[antifreeze]] to wine would not cause death, or blindness, hence the said translation. Also, "anti-freeze" is not translated; it should be ''"antigel"''.
*When Bart talks to the policeman, the man says ''"Excusez moi? Je ne parle pas anglais... Voilà un bonbon... Je suis désolé, j'aimerais vraiment pouvoir vous aider."'' (Excuse me? I don't speak English...Here's a piece of candy...I'm sorry, I really would like to be able to help you).
*In later seasons, [[List of recurring characters in The Simpsons#Agnes Skinner|Agnes Skinner]]'s personality seems vastly different to her kindly demeanor in this episode. In the [[DVD]] [[audio commentary]], Matt Groening offers the theory that her current mean streak can be attributed to being a victim of Bart's prank.
*By the end of this episode Bart can speak perfect French. Later, in the episode “[[The Monkey Suit]]”, Bart's chalkboard gag is ''"Je ne parle pas Français"'' ("I don't speak French").
*The number of Bart's flight back to the [[United States|USA]] is 1988 (dix-neuf cent quatre vingt huit).
*This is the first episode of the series to satirize a particular nation (other than America), in this case France. Episodes targeting another nation would become a recurring theme (typically once per season) in later seasons.
===[[The Telltale Head]]===
*In ''[[The Simpsons Hit & Run]]'' level 02,a Buzz Cola of Jebediah Head is on the statue.
*Marge pulls a [[List of fictional characters within The Simpsons#Radioactive Man|Radioactive Man]] [[comic book]] from inside Bart's jacket before leaving the house for church.
*Homer has an [[8-track tape]] deck in his car.
*A member of the angry mob carries a sign with the likeness of Jebediah Springfield's head and the words, "Have You Seen Me?"
*The football announcer on Homer's car radio says, "This could be the most remarkable comeback since [[Lazarus]] rose from the dead."
*Announcer: "Wolodarsky takes it at the 5... oh my, he fumbles," reference to show writer-producer Wallace Wolodarsky.
*A sign inside church where Rev. Lovejoy has just given a sermon on the evils of gambling reads, "Bingo---Tuesday Night. [[Monte Carlo (solitaire)|Monte Carlo]] Night---Wednesday. [[Reno, Nevada|Reno]] Retreat Saturday."
*This is The first Episode were [[Tress MacNeille]] Takes part in
*The movie marquee reads, "Space Mutants IV: The Trilogy Continues."

*Kearney stands on the lawn and leans on a sign that reads "Keep off the Grass."
*[[Sideshow Bob]]'s hair evolves from a huge red afro.
*This is one of five Simpsons episodes to display the title on the screen, excluding the [[Treehouse of Horror (series)|Treehouse of Horror]] episodes. The others are "[[Bart Gets Hit by a Car]]", "[[22 Short Films About Springfield]]", "[[The Simpsons Spin-Off Showcase]]" and "[[The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular]]".
*Bart pronounces "wrath" incorrectly.
*The Season 1 [[List of The Simpsons DVDs|DVD boxset]] is missing two scenes from the episode: one where Bart told the crowd that, after decapitating the town statue, he realized he was taking his heritage for granted (an issue that would later resurface in Season 7's "[[Lisa the Iconoclast]]"), and another with church bells ringing. It is rumoured that these scenes, which add up to 28 seconds, were added to comply with an FCC regulation that all [[cartoon]]s must include this length of educational content.
*The DVD does, however, contain two scenes that were not in the original broadcast; an extended remark from Otto ("It's beautiful, man!"; "man" was not in the original broadcast), and Homer telling Bart that "most lynch mobs aren't this nice". These scenes add to five seconds; note, however, that the run time for this episode on the Season 1 DVD set is 22:42, and the run time for its original broadcast is 23:05. Bart mentions earlier in the episode that the story takes "about 23 minutes and five seconds" to tell; the story itself is only 17 minutes and 10 seconds, though this more likely refers to the length of the full episode.
===[[There's No Disgrace Like Home]]===
*This episode marks the first appearance of:

*This episode is usually shown as the first episode of Season 1 on German television as "Eine ganz normale Familie" (An ordinary family) and was the first to be aired on Premiere in 1991 and later that year on ZDF. The German DVD release of season 1 puts it into the US order of episodes. It was most likely chosen as episode 1 because it introduces a lot of characters and explains how the Simpsons work as a family. The Tracy Ullman sketches had not been seen in Germany.

*The police dog's name is Bobo, which would later be used of the name for Mr. Burns' teddy bear in "[[Rosebud (The Simpsons)|Rosebud]]". When Homer is saying that they have to get $250 for the therapy, a teddybear that looks exactly like Bobo can be seen on a lower shelf near the stereo.
*The phone number for Dr. Monroe's center is 1-800-555-HUGS.
*Bart and Lisa's college fund amounts to $88.50, and Homer gets $150 for pawning his television, which means he had to find $11.50 in his wallet to afford the family therapy.
*Their TV is a Motorola (note that Motorola hadn't made televisions since [[1974]]), and the pawn clerk knows Homer's name when he enters.
*Dr. Monroe keeps his aggression therapy mallets in a gun cabinet.
*This episode appears in both ''[[Die Hard 2]]'' and the ''[[Space Ghost Coast to Coast]]'' episode "Glen Campbell". In the latter, Space Ghost and Zorak are watching the episode at the very beginning, and Space Ghost comments, "Er, which one's Homer again? [[Maggie Simpson|The baby]]?"
*At Marvin Monroe's therapy center, the family that Homer idolized at the picnic sits in the reception area.
*The family that Marvin Monroe cures are a younger version of The Simpsons.
*Marge's drawing of Homer is quite crude, in later seasons it would be established she is actually an accomplished artist.
*The exact title of this episode can be found to vary slightly in different sources. One of the most common variations is ''There's No Place Like Homer''. 
*This episode very much sums up the differences in character in the first season, with Marge being the one showing the family up, and Homer being ashamed by his family and striving to do better. Most surprising of all is Homer selling the television set - something the more recognised Homer of later seasons would ''never'' do.
*While watching the boxing-match at Moe's, Homer says that his mother said to him: "Homer, you're a big disappointment". Given what we know from later episodes, it is more likely that Homer's ''father'' would say something like that.
*This is the first time we see Marge drunk at the picnic.
