Who Shot Mr. Burns? (1) - S6-E25
Trivia: Mr. Burns says "You all talk big, but which of you has the guts to stop me?" at the meeting, and everyone looks away. Only Maggie keeps staring at him.
Trivia: Most of the main cast of 'Cheers' has been on the Simpsons, including Kelsey Grammer as Bart's returning nemesis, Sideshow Bob. When Homer is kicked out of Moe's Tavern, he looks for a new bar and ends up in Cheers, where the other Cheers cast members voice their old characters. However, Grammer's character of Frasier does not speak.
Trivia: Once Bart witnesses Flanders' "murder" the show becomes a takeoff of Alfred Hitchcock's "Rear Window" (1954). Bart is spying on the neighbors while his leg is in a cast, just as Jimmy Stewart does in the film. He even sees an older man with his leg in a cast looking back at him. The man calls for "Grace" to come see the sinister kid. Grace Kelly played Lisa, Stewart's girlfriend in the film. Stewart watches as Lisa goes snooping through the neighbor's house just as Bart watches Lisa Simpson. And when the neighbors come home, they both call for "Lisa" to get out of there.
Lisa's Rival - S6-E2
Trivia: When Homer's sugar melts, he says 'Melting. Melting, oh what a world.' This is exactly what the Wicked Witch of the West says when she melts in The Wizard of Oz (1939).
Trivia: When Homer finds out that the seat at his workplace is sleazy, he draws out a hate list to include "Econosave" office furniture on it. Items on Homer's hate list are: Bill of Rights, Grampa, Fat Free Lard, Gravity, The Emmys, Darwin, H2Whoa!, Billy Crystal, God, Soloflex, The Boy, Stern Lecture Plumbing, EconoSave.
Lisa on Ice - S6-E8
Trivia: After Skinner tells the students to report to the "Butthead Auditorium", he says to himself that they "shouldn't have let the students name that." This is a reference to a School from Maryland about 10 years ago that let the students rename their school. Their top pick, "Springfield Elementary", was rejected because of the negative influence of Bart and the show itself.
Trivia: In the first shot inside the bomb shelter after the whole town has crammed in, you can see Waldo from the "Where's Waldo?" books at the top of the screen.
Lisa's Rival - S6-E2
Trivia: While Homer is guarding his sugar and sleeping outside, Marge nudges him to wake him up and he says in his sleep, "In this country, first you get the sugar, then you get the money, and then you get the woman." This is almost a direct quote from Al Pacino's movie Scarface in which he tells his best friend, "In this country, first you get the money, then you get the power and then you get the woman." Homer even says it in a similar accent.
