Trivia
The footage of Lisa calling Homer at work to say she loves him is recycled from Bart's Dog Gets an F (1991), as you can clearly see Lisa has the mumps in this scene.

Goofs
When the boys from school are watching Lisa ride her pony, Ralph speaks with Nelson's voice.

Quotes
Bart: Hey, how come Lisa gets a pony?
Homer: Because she stopped loving me.
Bart: I don't love you either, so give me a moped.
Homer: I know you love me, so you don't get squat.
[laughs]

Alternate versions
Homer's dream sequence was accompanied by a version of the Beatles' "Golden Slumbers" when originally aired. A different song is featured in the syndicated version, although the original soundtrack plays on the Season 3 DVD set.

Connections
Edited from The Simpsons: Bart's Dog Gets an F (1991)

Sometimes Homer Is Just Plain Stupid
