  • This is the third Simpsons to open as a Hanna-Barbera parody. The opening is parodying "The Jetsons" theme song. Other episodes to have Hanna-Barbera opening parodies are: "Marge vs. the Monorail", Homer leaving work a la Flintstones and "When You Dish Upon a Star", Homer dreams him, Bart and Ned Flanders are Yogi Bear, Boo-Boo Bear and Ranger Smith.
