Eating Dinner/References

== Trivia ==
* This episode debuted the Simpson family's crude eating habits for the first time, with Marge shown to be only polite person at the dinner table.
*This episode also appeared to take aim at a scene from the 1937 film Snow White and Seven Dwarves which suggested the dwarves had bad eating manners. However, in contrast to the episode, the Dwarves were not shown to eating as grossly, or slurping loudly or shown to have food in their mouths like the Simpson family did in this episode, and were rather merely fighting over bread appetizers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6C58mSd-4cw&t=3s Like the Simpson family in Eating Dinner, the dwarves were given a helping of soup, but did not eat it on-screen and instead ate off-screen after washing their hands. At the time the episode aired, Michael Eisner, who previously worked with then Fox Broadcasting Company head Barry Diller when they were at ABC and Paramount, was head of the Walt Disney Company.
*Sometimes, this episode is erroneously titled "Dinnertime."
* Bart's hair color in the short goes from brown to yellow.
* When the TV set is turned on, the news anchor says: "On tonight's news, bus plunge kills 43, freak rollercoaster accident decapitates family of 5..."
* In every scene there is a picture of a mountain that bursts, which is a running gag in the shorts with the pictures being alive.
* The episode has a similar plot to the episode There's No Disgrace Like Home.
*While Homer asks Bart to turn on the TV, the scene is reused from Good Night.
