Trivia: Ned Flanders inspired the term "Flanderization", used to describe TV characters who started off with a few personality traits, but are now dominated by just one. In earlier seasons, Ned was a polite, respectful man who attended church, but was not especially pushy about religion. He and his family became more strictly Christian, portraying a "Bible-beater" stereotype.

Dead Putting Society - S2-E6

Trivia: For the chalkboard gag in the opening theme, Bart is writing "I am not a 32-year-old woman." Nancy Cartwright, the actress who does his voice, was 32 years old at the time.

Worst Episode Ever - S12-E11

Trivia: The joke about Martin having an alternate version of 'Return of the Jedi' where Chewbacca is Luke's mother is based on one of Mark Hamill's anecdotes. During the filming of ROTJ he was informed Lucas had something important to tell him in private, which he'd previously done to drop the twist that Vader was Luke's father. This caused Hamill to quip "Oh no, is Chewbacca going to turn out to be my mother?" He was relieved when the actual revelation was that Leia was Luke's sister.
