-*[[Bart]] was originally going to be absent in this episode, but will get replaced by a 20-year-old boy voiced by [[Hank Azaria]] in "The Simpsons Family Smile Time Variety Hour", [[Lisa]] would appear in this episode, and the Simpsons are going to be absent in "Chief Wiggum P.I". But in the final cut, Bart is present in the third segment and Lisa only appears with one line in "Chief Wiggum P.I". It is announced she is replaced (by an older, more attractive, but less intelligent) girl in "The Simpsons Family Smile Time Variety Hour", which is a likely spoof of the 1977 spin off "{{W|The Brady Bunch Variety Hour}}", where Eve Plumb refused to participate in this spin-off, so she was replaced by another girl playing Jan Brady.
