The Crepes of Wrath/References

==Cultural References==
*The episode's title is a reference to John Steinbeck's novel "The Grapes of Wrath" (the movie that is based on the novel, is, like The Simpsons, a Fox property). In fact, Bart crushes grapes in this episode too.
*Bart's French gift to Maggie, a red balloon, is a reference to Le Ballon Rouge ("The Red Balloon"), a short 1956 French children's film.
*The two winemakers, Cesar and Ugolin, are named after the peasants from the 1986 French films Jean de Florette and Manon des Sources (Manon of the Springs), according to producer George Meyer.
*On the way to the chateau, Bart and Ugolin cycle past scenes depicted in several famous paintings, notably Bassin aux nymphéas by Claude Monet, Champ de blé aux corbeaux by Vincent van Gogh, Le rêve by Henri Rousseau and Déjeuner sur l'herbe by Édouard Manet.
*The choice of antifreeze as an adulterant is a nod to the 1985 Austrian diethylene glycol wine scandal.
==Trivia==
*This episode aired two years before the end of the Cold War.
* In the French-dubbed version of this episode, the officer understands Bart, but is unaware that he is being abused. Bart then leaves, disappointed, but soon realizes his mistake and runs back to tell the officer the entire story. The Quebec dub follows a little bit closer to the original, but in this version, the reason the officer does not understand Bart is because Bart speaks with a Quebec accent.
* This is the final episode of Season 1 to be produced as it's code is 7G13, even though Some Enchanted Evening (which is actually the first episode to be produced as 7G01) aired as the final episode (Due to many major animation problems that forced it to get a do-over).
== Goofs ==
* Bart's Krusty doll has a pull string; therefore, it should only have spoken once. It may have continued speaking due to damage caused by being knocked down the stairs. Or being a shoddy product, just like all of Krusty's merchandise.
* Between shots, the windows on the Simpsons' house change from bay to arch to bay.
* In one scene, between two cuts Lewis' skin color changes. At first it is brown, then it goes yellow then back to brown.
*When Skinner says 'Mother?', his tie is grey instead of pink.
* When Homer and Marge are talking with Skinner in the living room, the foyer and TV room have swapped locations. (see gallery)
*When Homer agrees to Principal Skinner's proposal without asking where Bart will be going, part of the pillow between Homer's shoulder and head turns green like the lining on Homer's robe.
*As the students of Springfield Elementary School clap after Principal Skinner's speech, one girl with grey hair has much of her hair on the right side of her head repeatedly disappear and reappear on-screen.
*When Adil picks up Lisa's dinner plate, the green food on the plate turns white like the plate for a frame.
