- In this episode, Kent Brockman gets in trouble for saying something obscene on TV after Homer spills coffee on his lap. In the season four finale, "Krusty Gets Kancelled", Brockman mutters, "That oughta hold those SOBs" during a newscast about Gabbo the puppet bad-mouthing the children of Springfield and, according to a newspaper headline, gets fired for his transgression (though later episodes show Brockman working as anchor).

Famous quotes containing the words previous and/or episode:
“All we know
Is that we are a little early, that
Today has that special, lapidary
Todayness that the sunlight reproduces
Faithfully in casting twig-shadows on blithe
Sidewalks. No previous day would have been like this.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“Youth is the period in which a man can be hopeless. The end of every episode is the end of the world. But the power of hoping through everything, the knowledge that the soul survives its adventures, that great inspiration comes to the middle-aged.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
