Notes
ADD NOTES-
This is the second time we see the boy in the wheelchair. The first was, "If I'm Dying, I'm Lying."
-
The original person chosen for the live-action sequence was not Alyssa Milano, but intstead it was Barbara Mandrell. When it came time to actually film the scene, Fox decided to go with somebody who was more recent that people could better relate to, so they chose Alyssa Milano. Unfortunately, Alyssa's copy of the script did not have the name changed, so she first asked, "And I'm playing Barbara Mandrell?"
-
Ricky Blitt wrote this episode and also played Joel, Alyssa Milano's agent, during the live-action scene.

Cigarette Advertising Peter appears in several cigarette ads. The one with the slogan, "Welcome to Smoking Country" is similar to ads with the Marlboro Man. The phrase, "You've come a long way baby" is a slogan for Virginia Slims. In another ad, Peter's face resembles Joe Camel, the former mascot for Camel cigarettes.
-
Peter: This girl didn't have a family... it'll be like she never existed. The senator-killing-the-prostitute scene greatly resembles that from "The Godfather Part II."
