Trivia[]

  • The fact that Homer and Marge are celebrating their eleventh anniversary may be a meta reference to the fact that this episode premiered eleven years after the Simpsons' 1987 debut in The Tracey Ullman Show. This, despite that they still were said to be married for 10 years in "Three Gays of the Condo" and despite remarrying in "Wedding for Disaster" because of Reverend Lovejoy losing his license to wed people, they still celebrate their tenth wedding anniversary in "Dangers on a Train".

Censorship[]

  • Initially, this episode was banned from airing in the UK by Sky because of strong sexual content and extended scenes of nudity. The episode ended up airing as a season ten holdover episode rather than the last episode of season nine under the title, "Margie, May I Sleep With Danger?" When it did air on Channel 4, the following scenes were edited (most were for sexual content, but one scene was cut due to depicting a dangerous, imitable stunt):
    • Marge and Homer struggling to have sex under their blanket.
    • The scene at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant is severely shortened in Channel 4 airings: Homer's line, "Nah it'll just be awkward what with the sex and all." is shortened to "Nah, it'll just be awkward"; Carl's line, "I always thought that Marge would be a dynamo in the sack, you know." is shortened to "I always thought that Marge would be a dynamo."; and Marge's line "Oh, knock it off you perverts." is shortened to "Oh, knock it off."
    • Marge's line "You know, the fear of getting caught is kinda a turn-on." and Homer's reply, "There's that dirty girl I married.'' were cut. Surprisingly, Marge and Homer having sex behind the curtain while a group of people put together a jigsaw puzzle wasn't censored.
    • The sequence of the people at the mini-golf course are trying to figure out what's inside the windmill and how to get it out shortened Moe's line "Who cares what it is. Let's monoxide it!" to "Who cares what it is" and cut the part showing Moe holding a long hose attached to the exhaust pipe of a beat-up car and sliding it into the windmill to suffocate Homer and Marge. The edited version goes from Moe's line "Who cares what it is." to Homer knocking the windmill over and he and Marge escaping.
  • Over in Australia, this episode aired with an M rating (which allows anyone over 15 to watch it, but anyone under 15 must have adult supervision) for sexual content. Normally, The Simpsons is rated PG (parental guidance suggested) on Australian television. In America, the episode initially aired with a TV-14 rating for suggestive dialogue (D) and moderate sexual content (S), but now airs with a TV-PG rating for suggestive dialogue (D), offensive language (L), and mild-to-moderate sexual content, including scenes of extended nudity (S).
    • Despite the UK's TV edits to this, the episode was shown uncut and uncensored on home media releases, such as The Simpsons Too Hot for TV (both the VHS and DVD versions) and the season nine DVD set.

Graytodd

Rod with gray hair

  • The windmill was in such a place that when it decapitated the Abraham Lincoln statue, it could have also caused injury to Seymour Skinner.
  • There is a shot at the golf course where Rod Flanders has gray hair.
  • After the farmer leaves his barn, some of the hay around Marge's neck turns yellow instead of tan.
  • When the cloud of dust gathers, Ned Flanders seems to peek at Homer and Marge, but doesn't seem to notice afterwards.
Noleg

Marge without legs

  • Frank Grimes is mentioned in this episode as his funeral invitation is in the suit Homer was wearing. Homer wasn't wearing his blue suit at the funeral in "Homer's Enemy".
  • When Homer and Marge are seen in the barn, there is a closeup of Marge which shows her dress above her knees. However, in the next shot, her dress is below her knees.
  • When Homer and Marge enter the barn, Homer closes the door behind him, however in the next shot of the barn, the door is wide open. In the shot after that, the door is closed again.
  • While there is a fight scene in the plane restaurant, the food splattered on Marge's dress is the same color as the seat behind her, which may be misconstrued as a part of her body being missing.
