Originally, Sara's line after Ned starts a fight with the director was "Katherine Hepburn never showed her breasts". In an airing in on August 27, 2003 it was changed to Angela Lansbury because Katherine Hepburn died months after this episode was shown. (edit) James L. Brooks is credited as Jim Brooks for his appearance. (edit) Blackboard Joke: None.
Couch Gag: Each family member is a marionette as they enter the living room. And who do we see controlling these marionettes as the camera pans upward, why it is Matt Groening. (edit)

James L. Brooks: Ned, I'm James L. Brooks.
Ned: Can I call you Jim?
James L. Brooks: James L. Brooks is good. (edit) Ned: Why would that Twinkie want to go out with a Ding-Dong like me?
Homer: Flanders, I mix Twinkies and Ding-Dongs all the time. In Europe they call it a Dinkie! (edit) (Sara Sloane enters The Leftorium)
Sara Sloane: Excuse me, are you open?
Ned: Mm-hm. Open as a tomb on Easter. Now what can I ding-dong-diddly do for you? (edit) (Sara and the actor playing Diego are filming "The Zookeeper's Wife" - Scene 102, Take 1)
Sara Sloane: Kiss me, Diego!
actor playing Diego: But your husband's animals are watching.
Sara Sloane: Where do you think I learned to do this? (they kiss, then both rip open their shirts) (edit) (Ned is shocked at the revealing dress Sara Sloane is wearing.)
Sara Sloane: Oh, loosen up, honey. This dress just creates the illusion of nudity.
Ned: Well, Siegfried & Roy create a lot of illusions; but I doubt their girlfriends dress like that!
(Sara rolls her eyes) (edit)

Music From This Episode
"Clair de Lune" by Claude Debussy (Played intermittently throughout the episode)
"Arabesque No. 1" by Claude Debussy (Played intermittently throughout the episode) (edit) Seen across the mall from Ned's Leftorium are the businesses 'I Can't Believe It's a Law Firm!', 'Expensive Coffee In Little Cups' and 'Something Wicker This Way Comes'. (edit) Homer's lipsync from his response to Ned Flanders' "milk for free" saying is also off. (edit) Lenny's lip sync is off after admitting he's selling Sara's autograph on eBay. (edit)

Marge mentions that Sara was in a movie called Honey, I Scotchgarded The Kids. This is a reference to the movie Honey, I Shrunk The Kids. Rick Moranis played a scientist whose invention went awry and shrunk both his kids and his neighbor's kids and then all of the kids got lost in the backyard. (edit) Sara Sloane: Ask for Zelda Fitzgerald.
Flanders: That's a pseud-diddly-ood-onym!

Zelda Fitzgerald (1900-1948) was married to writer F. Scott Fitzgerald and she inspired the character of Nicole Diver in his novel Tender Is The Night. Theirs was a turbulent marriage that involved infidelity, alcoholism and Zelda's schizophrenia. She was also a talented writer but her career was overshadowed by that of her husband. Zelda was institutionalized and died when the asylum caught fire. (edit) Ned: I can't marry a movie star! I'm not Arthur Miller or Lyle Lovett.

Arthur Miller was a famous American playwright who married Marilyn Monroe; Lyle Lovett is a Country singer who was married to Julia Roberts. (edit) The name of the store Something Wicker This Way Comes is inspired by the witches' chant in Macbeth that begins, "By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes . . . " (edit) Ned: I've got a date with a girl with no name.
After Ned gets a date with sara Sloane, he strolls out of The Leftorium singing. The song uses the melody of "A Horse With No Name" by the 1970's rock group, America. (edit)
