== Trivia ==
*Homer acknowledges his mental acumen and memory may be affected by his numerous head injuries.
*When Marge is looking at the cemetery being installed outside the Simpson's home, she is in a room with Maggie that we have never seen before. Looking from the exterior, it appears that the room should be the Kitchen, but it is not. We never see this room again in any Simpsons episode.
*Lisa later says that her room is the only room with a view of the cemetery, except the room mentioned above also has a clear view of it.
*Lisa's room has a view of the backyard, where the graveyard appears to be located, in "[[Lisa's Date with Density]]".  

== Continuity ==
*As a baby, Lisa powders and diapers herself. [[Maggie Simpson|Maggie]] did a similar trick in "[[Blame It on Lisa]]" while staying with Marge's sisters.
*The music from the couch gag is the same tune as the jockey song from ''"[[Saddlesore Galactica]]".''
*[[Bart]] was previously turned into a spider in "[[Treehouse of Horror XIII]]"''.''

== Production info ==
*This was originally scheduled to air May 15, 2005, as the sixteenth season finale, but due to the changed broadcast date of "[[The Father, the Son and the Holy Guest Star]]" it had to be cancelled for that time. There was also supposed to be a song in this episode known as "The Song of the Wildbeasts" but it was cut out for time. It is one of the four bonus tracks on ''[[The Simpsons Testify]]''.

== Cultural references ==
*The title is reminiscent of the 1956 movie ''The Man Who Knew Too Much'' starring James Stewart and Doris Day, and more recently, the 1997 movie ''The Man Who Knew Too Little'' starring Bill Murray. This is not the first time this title has been parodied; see "[[The Boy Who Knew Too Much]]" and "[[The Dad Who Knew Too Little]]".
*The book ''The Land of Wild Beasts'' is a parody of ''Where the Wild Things Are'' by Maurice Sendak, right down to the artwork.
*The stamp museum sign "The Fathers (and mothers) of Invention" is a reference to Frank Zappa's first band, The Mothers of Invention.
*The Simpsons visit a stamp museum featuring stamp posters of Frederick Ives, Katharine Burr Blodgett, Alexander Graham Bell and Elisha Gray, with audio statements about their inventions.
*The advertising campaign Bart and Lisa watch in the theater mentioned above is for a restaurant called "The Hillside Wrangler", a parody of Kenneth Bianchi and Angelo Buono who were called the {{W|Hillside Stranglers}}. Part of the Eisenhower Expressway is also called the Hillside Strangler .
*When Lisa finds Dr. Nick in the cemetery, he puts four severed arms around his body and says: "I'm not Dr. Nick, I am Dr. Octopus!", a reference to Dr. Octopus, the super-villain of the Spider-Man series. Also, he speaks some lines referencing the series, mentioning Spidey (Spider-Man) and Mary Jane Watson.
*Maggie is watching [[Count von Count]] on ''[[Sesame Street]]''.
*During ''[[The Itchy & Scratchy Show]]'' cartoon, [[Scratchy]] attends the musical ''[[Cats]]'' and finds the show so boring that he shoots himself in the head.
*[[Lisa]] says she learned from ''[[Scooby-Doo]]'' that the only thing to fear are crooked real estate developers. This is a reference to the show's frequent plotline of the ghosts not being real, but staged by unscrupulous individuals for financial gain—for example, lowering property values in order to buy up real estate at a bargain price and later turn a profit by developing and reselling it.
