Kill the Alligator and Run/References

== Cultural References ==
*The scene of the MTV's VJs glowing red gem in her hand which then led to her taken away for being too old by MTV's youth-obsessed standards is a likely reference to Logan's Run.
*The courthouse the Simpsons are tried at is called "Six Toe County Courthouse".
*The statue in front of the courthouse is holding the scales of justice in her right hand and a dog by the ears in her left hand.
*Snake (or at least a look alike since you never truly see all of his face) is seen with the Simpsons on their road side prison detail.
*The title is a pun on the song "Take The Money and Run" by Steve Miller Band. 
*The train that hits the Marge’s car strongly resembles an Amtrak train.
==Trivia==
*Homer's prison number is 1028.
*Joe C. died six months after this episode aired due to celiac disease complications.
*The license plate on the camper Velma provides for the Simpsons to stay in reads "BABF16," which is the episode's production number. At the time of the episode's airing, Florida did not use that numbering format; however, in 2010, Florida did introduce an ABCD12 format for (some) license plate numbers. There is probably a Florida license plate with the number BABF16 out there somewhere, but it has not been confirmed.

*When the Simpsons drive through the train boxcar to escape the sheriff, they land on roadway thus there is only one track shown and the car was behind the crossing, but after a quick relief, they're suddenly on another track just before being struck by a </span>train.
*When the sheriff sets fire around The Simpsons, a few moments later fire disappears. It may have gone out, especially seeing how there was unlikely anything that could have prolonged it on the ground.
*In some FXX reruns, after the Simpsons car gets hit by the train, it then cuts to the conductor moving the car out of the way making the car fall to the dirt, and then goes to commercials, and then after commercials, the third act opens with the Simpsons wandering until they find a restaurant. In the original airings, after the train hits the Simpsons car, the act remains with the train moving the car until the scene cuts out to commercials. Then it opens with the deer in the background and the car still being pushed by the train.
*When the family sees the trailer, they were going to stay in, Lisa's sandals transformed into her mary-jane shoes.
*Despite being banned from Florida after the alligator incident, the Simpsons go back there later in "Special Edna". It is likely that the ban was either lifted or forgotten, or maybe that episode took place before this episode.
