Postcards From the Wedge/References

== Cultural References ==
*The title is a reference to the film Postcards from the Edge.
*The Itchy & Scratchy cartoon, "Mouse M.D.", is a parody of House M.D.
*The anime cartoon that Bart watches is a parody of Pokémon. Additionally, this episode also aired on the same day that Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the remakes for the Pokémon Gameboy Color games Gold and Silver, were released on the Nintendo DS in the United States.
*The filmstrip at the beginning contains some classic cartoon sound effects, such as the "pbpbpbpbpbpbpbpb' motors from The Jetsons and the trombone talking of the teachers in the Peanuts specials.
**The music being played in the film strip and during the credits is George Gershwin's "An American in Paris".
*Mrs. Krabappel says that Bart ruined every ideal she had about teaching since she saw the movie To Sir, with Love as a little girl. This leads to Nelson telling her she's 'old', which is a reference to Mrs. Krabappel's voice actress Marcia Wallace being 67 at the time the episode first aired.
*Moe's Express is a parody of Panda Express.
*According to a painting in the subway station, the Springfield sign was built as "Springfieldland", just like the original Hollywood sign was build as "Hollywoodland". Plus, Bart and Milhouse make a mention to Thomas the Tank Engine.
== Goofs ==
*About eight minutes into the episode, Lisa's pearls briefly appear red like Marge's, a goof commonly seen in episodes.
*When Lisa was explaining her example fraction equation's answer, it is incorrect. 1/2 + 1/3 does not equal 3/anything. It equals 5/6 minimum. However, she could have meant 3/6 + 2/6 instead.
*Despite the subway system being abandoned, it is still used in various couch gags.
*It is unknown how Springfield Elementary got rebuilt after the building has been destroyed.
*Janey Powell and White Weasel are seen in Bart's class, although they are second graders.
*The cup holders on the Squishee machines switch sides when Apu was wondering which flavor he should save.
*Instead of using a Sharpie to cover the T.V., how come Homer didn’t press the Off button on Bart’s T.V.?
**He most likely is dumb so he wouldn't think of finding the off button or a remote.
== Trivia ==
*This was the first episode that Bart was grounded and the first time that he is actually punished since "Itchy & Scratchy: The Movie".
*A section of this episode was used for a 4D attraction starting the Simpsons found in Myrtle Beach, SC. As such, many of the events of this episode are given more effect due to it being presented 4D.
