Episode Notes
 
Red State Grocery - "The Choice of a Slim Majority of Shoppers." Snooty's Boutique - "We Reserve the Right to Deny Service to Everyone." Langley Public Library - "We Still Have Microfiche For Some Reason." are some of the slogans on the buisiness signs.
 
Apparently Francines friend Linda has more than friendly feelings toward Francine, even tough they are both married to men.
 
Langley Falls Post front page headline: "Clever Bumper Sticker Ends Abortion Debate."

Episode Quotes
 
Klaus: There was a very famous Jewish girl who kept a diary. It ended badly. But enough about Fran Drescher. Ha ha! You thought I was making a Holocaust joke. Shame on you!
 
Francine: Did you find your dog, honey?
Stan: Fuzzy is gone, let's just leave it at that. Wasn't someone trying to kill you or something?
 
Roger: Don't be starting what you can't finish, bitch.
 
Stan: Damn it, Roger, I've told you a million times. No smoking in the house!
Roger: And I told you, it's menthol. So, it's healthier than an apple.
 
Francine: Kristy! Remember me? Francine? Oh, how I wish I could peel off your skin, put it on, and be you. I mean... hi.
 
Stan: What the hell is that?
Francine: This is Fuzzy. His owner was killed, and he needs a home.
Stan: No way, Francine. We're Smiths, and Smiths have manly dogs. This dog couldn't be any more effeminate, even if it had 20 vaginas. And then it would just be a freakish mutant. Or a beautiful symbol of fertility.
Francine: But...
Stan: Forget it, Francine. We already have something girly and annoying in this house. It's called Roger.
 
Steve: (Trapped In Hayley's closet) Let me out or I'll rip up all your clothes!
Hayley: Go ahead! If you haven't noticed, I only wear this one outfit.
 
Bullock: Smith, I have a mission for you, the most exciting mission of your career.
Stan: Sorry, sir, it wouldn't be responsible to take risks now that I have someone who depends on me.
Bullock: Your family?
Stan: Sure, sure, send them.
 
Francine: Stan, help me. I've been faking an affair to impress the Ladybugs, and they found out I was lying, and now they're trying to kill me!
Stan: A cult of muderous housewives. Before 9/11, I wouldn't have believed it, or at least I'd ask you some follow-up questions. But that's just not the world we live in anymore.
 
 
Episode Goofs
 
Stan tells Roger no smoking in the house, but Roger isn't allowed outside the house so where else could he smoke?
 
 
Cultural References
 
Klaus: Holocaust Joke

The little girl Klaus is talking about in his Holocaust joke is Anne Frank. A jewish girl who was brutaly murdered.
 
Not Particularly Desperate Housewives

The episode title is a spoof of the hit show Desperate Housewives.
 
The way Stan treats Fuzzy

The way Stan treats Fuzzy is very similar to the way Paris Hilton treats her dog Tinkerbell.
 
(Francine Running from the Lady Bugs)

The scene where Francine runs from the lady bugs is similar to a scene from Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
