One of the official ''Simpsons'' episode guide books, ''[[The Simpsons Beyond Forever!]]'', claims that this episode must take place before the season 6 episode. Either that, or the Rural Route 9 house was saved by the local fire department in said episode, yet in "[[Grampa vs. Sexual Inadequacy]]", you see the house collapse.
