==Trivia==
*The statue of the man riding a horse outside the courthouse is of Simpsons writer John Swartzwelder.
*Maggie's full name is revealed to be Margaret.
*In the commentary, it says that the Child Protective Services male officer was based on a teacher the writers had.
* In the original airing, Milhouse mentioned the basket with the infected monkey in it came from Pier One. After Pier One complained about the joke, the free-TV reruns changed the line to say "Trader Pete's". Later syndicated reruns (including FXX and Freeform), as well as the season seven DVD and the streaming versions shown on Simpsons World and Disney+, retain the original line, though the closed captioning/subtitles have the "Trader Pete" line instead of the "Pier One" line. In the UK, the Pier One line is used, as there are no Pier One stores there.
*This episode reveals that the redheaded hick from "Bart Gets an Elephant" and "Itchy & Scratchy Land" is named Cletus. It wouldn't be until later that Cletus' last name Spuckler (or Del Roy) would be revealed, though "22 Short Films About Springfield" referred to him as "Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel".
*This is the last episode to feature Frank Welker as Santa's Little Helper before Dan Castellaneta would replace him.
*In the parenting class, Agnes Skinner said that the state was threatening to take Seymour away because they had another fight over the inflatable bath pillow. They first fought over the bath pillow in the episode "The Springfield Connection" from the previous season.
*It is revealed in this episode that Marge microwaves Bart and Lisa's underwear on cold days and Homer calls radio stations and gives them fake traffic hints.
*Maggie liking Ned would later be referenced in "Labor Pains", when she imagines she's bouncing on Ned's knee.
*Maggie says her second canonical word in this episode, in which she says "Daddily-Doodily!" while inside the Flanders' car with Bart, Lisa, Ned and Maude. Her first canonical word was in "Lisa's First Word" when she said "Daddy". However, in this episode, Nancy Cartwright (who does Maggie's speaking and other non-pacifier sounds from seasons 1 to 18) does the voice of Maggie speaking instead of Elizabeth Taylor.
**As Maggie was alone when she said "Daddy" in "Lisa's First Word," this marks the first time that any on-screen characters hear Maggie speak.
*In the parenting class, at one point a male with spiked black wrist-bracelets and a shaved head, much like Kearney Zzyzwicz, but seen only from behind and with a black t-shirt. Later on it would be revealed that Kearney is a father.

*Initially, Marge puts a purple box of Krusty Flakes near Maggie in the opening scene. The box turns green in an overhead shot of the kitchen, and is instead near Lisa in another shot.
*Lisa comes home with trash bags on her feet, but Bart comes home wearing a potato sack and is barefoot. Unlike Lisa, Bart does not have prescription shoes.
*When Ned is warning Rod and Todd not to poke each other with sharp objects like Itchy and Scratchy, his moustache is totally smooth for a frame.
*The social workers demonstrate significant incompetence in their deductions - despite being summoned by Principal Skinner they are completely unaware that the condition of Lisa and Bart is entirely due to events at school. And of course they told Marge she had better have a good excuse, but didn't actually wait to hear it. Nor did they question the children, or Grampa Simpson. The evidence is purely circumstantial. 
*Realistically, the kids would have been sent to separate foster homes.
*Also, sending the kids in the Flanders' home violates the 100-foot restraining order that Homer and Marge were given against the children, and even if the restraining order wasn't in place, the kids shouldn't have been put in a foster home next door to their parent's home.
*When the Simpson kids eat at the Flanders house, the vessels they eat out of change from bowls to plates between shots.
*If Homer and Marge wanted to call the kids, they could have simply gone to a payphone.
*When playing a religious trivia game, Maggie somehow gets a question right despite being unable to talk, although this may have been done to emphasize Bart and Lisa's lack of knowledge of the topic. It is possible that she nodded her answer.
*The Flanders have both "fire" and "police" on speed dial, even though they are both 911. This is probably a reference to the Flanders neurotic nature.
*Lice is more a minor inconvenience than a failure of parenting. However, Springfield does have weird and pointless laws.
**Bart didn't even get any medical treament for it.
== Citations ==
*Maggie's head turns 180 degrees a la The Exorcist. Maggie's head also spun around more than a normal range of motion in "Treehouse of Horror".
*Ned and Maude's lullaby while making Maggie go to sleep is based on Sonny & Cher's song, I Got You Babe.
