Episode Notes
Chalkboard: The capital of Montana is not Hannah.
Couch: A repeat of the couch gag from "The Ziff Who Came to Dinner" and "On a Clear Day, I Can't See My Sister" where, in a parody of the science short film Powers of Ten, the camera pans from the couch scene to the house, the city, the world, the galaxy, outer space, and back to Homer. Unlike the previous two versions, Homer says, "Weird!" instead of "Wow!" or "Cool!"
