Trivia
Fast-foward histories
- The first fast-forward history of this episode takes place in the year 2017, 2 years from 2015, when the episode aired. Unsurprisingly, however, mid to late Season 28 episodes (from "Pork and Burns" to "Dogtown") have been set in 2017 like its broadcasting year (2016–2017) and so would early Season 29 episodes (from "Springfield Splendor" to "Gone Boy", except "Mr. Lisa's Opus") (2017–2018).
- The second fast-forward history of this episode takes place in the year 2020, 5 years from 2015, when the episode aired. Unsurprisingly, however, mid to late Season 31 episodes (from "Hail to the Teeth" to "The Way of the Dog") have been set in 2020 like its broadcasting year (2019–2020) and so would early Season 32 episodes (from "Undercover Burns" to "A Springfield Summer Christmas for Christmas") (2020-2021) without any reference to the COVID-19 pandemic, except the opening sequence of the episode "Treehouse of Horror XXXI".
- Contrary to other episodes that are set in the future, though only partially set in it, this one is canon.[1]
