Episode Notes |

Chalkboard: None
| Couch: Repeat of the couch gag from "The Italian Bob" where The Simpsons are a wild royal flush that gets dealt on the couch (only in this version, Homer can be heard yelling, "Whoo-hoo!" after the cards are dealt).
| Some shots of Richard Dean Anderson made him look like he was wearing eye liner.
| In real life, Richard Dean Anderson has never actually attended a Stargate SG-1 convention.

Episode Quotes |
| |
Bart: What's a MacGyver and why does it have a convention?
| Richard Dean Anderson: You're into MacGyver? That show was so stupid. Oh, I'm MacGyver. I can make a bomb out of a banana peel and a toaster. That show was just a pay check to me and nothing more.
| Comic Book Guy: Richard Dean Anderson, of the four Star franchises Wars, Trek, Gate and Search, Gate is easily my third favorite.
Richard Dean Anderson: I get that a lot.
| Richard Dean Anderson: This is kidnapping! People are gonna know I'm missing. There is a liquor store I go to every morning.
| Homer: Oh, The Cereal is just a metaphor.
| Homer: Thanks Sweetie, I've never been less angry to receive a book.
| Burns: You know Smithers, "I told you so" has a brother. His name is "Shut the hell up!"
| Homer: This isn't India! Where is the University of Notre Dame, the Indy 500, Wrigley Field, Dodger Dogs?
Indian Woman: You ignorant American. You have confused India with Indiana, Indiana with Illinois and the Cups with the Dodgers.
| Richard Dean Anderson: Ok, here is the plan. You lock me in the trunk of a car and park it under the pier at low tide. All I need are these everyday objects: A nail file, a farmers' almanac, a gun with no bullets, some bullets, and three of my MacGyver writers.
| Burns: No office talk! I'm floating down the Ganges with my new chums.
Smithers: Those are corpses.
Burns: You never like my friends.
| Richard Dean Anderson: (as he is being kidnapped) [...] Hey, watch the face! I need that for acting!

Episode Goofs |

There would be way too much loss when transferring electricity through undersea cables, so the outsourcing of nuclear power plants isn't really possible.
| Before the fight about the bouquet, Carl is wearing a shirt with a button and a tie. As he is swinging the chain in the fight, he wears his usual clothes.

| This episode is full of parodies on MacGyver, where Richard Dean Anderson played the main character.
| Homer assumes the University of Notre Dame and the Indy 500 are in India. As the Indian woman also explains, both are located in the US State Indianapolis. Read more about the University in this wikipedia article and about the auto race in that wikipedia article.
| Homer is also confusing the Wrigley Field stadium to be in India. Which is not even located in Indianapolis, but in Chicago, Illinois. As also explained by the Indian woman this is the home stadium of the (Chicago) Cubs and not of the (Los Angeles) Dodgers, which the Dodger Dogs are named after. Read more about the baseball stadium in this wikipedia article and about the hot dog in that wikipedia article.
| A cow steals Homer's iPod, a popular and heavily featured mp3 player in many movies and TV shows. Read more about the Apple Computer product in the wikipedia article.
| Richard Dean Anderson says he wears blue contacts to cover his Latino heritage. This isn't a bit true. He doesn't wear contacts to cover his natural dark-brown eye color and isn't of any Latino heritage as far as known to public.
| Homer says he can't be (a) God, because he has no white beard. This refers to the best known "image"/imagination of God, which was also shown in The Simpsons many times, despite the fact that the Bible says that one shouldn't create a picture of God.
| Homer also says God invented The Da Vinci Code, which is actually just a novel written by Dan Brown. Read more about the book in the wikipedia article.
| Homer refers to a blue white-bearded Indian God as Papa Smurf. Read more about the fictional character in the wikipedia article.
| Burns is floating down the Ganges with many corpses around him. It is tradition in India to burn the dead and throw the ashes into the holy river. However, the dead doesn't always get burned completely, so the Ganges is polluted with many partially burnt or completely intact corpses. Read more about the river in India in the wikipedia article.
| The slide show shows Selma presumably in the line to the Luray Caverns in Virginia. Read more about the commercial used cavern in the wikipedia article.
| The end of the slide show with Patty and Selma is about the Remington Carriage Museum in Alberta, Canada. Read and view more about the historical museum at the official webpage.
| Richard Dean Anderson says he is in Springfield, because of the convention to his current show Stargate SG-1. Although he has only appeared as guest star is the current season for a few times and is not supposed to join the show as regular star again in the near future.
| When the light turns out the Comic Book Guy shouts out "What in the name of Steve Ditko". Steve Ditko is a comic book artist and writer, best known as co-creator of Spider-Man. Read more about Steve in the wikipedia article.
| Richard Dean Anderson asks Patty and Selma what episode they are watching tonight. He names three episodes, but they are not actually titles from the show MacGyver.- Alice for Lake Tahoe might be a spoof on the wife of Little Joe from Bonanza, which played at Lake Tahoe.
- Partout which is the French word for everywhere.
- Bless me MacGyver, for I've sinned is a joke on the sentence "Bless me Father, for I've sinned" which is often used after entering the Confessional booth.
