1. Quimby has a secret wife. This is reminiscent of Haroldson Lafayette Hunt, the oil multimillionaire of the 50s and 60s, who had two wives and families (he probably had two knives, too). One in Texas, one in Louisiana. Yes, he is the father of Nelson Bunker Hunt, Herbert Hunt (both went bankrupt trying to corner the Silver market 25 years ago), and Lamar Hunt (owns the Kansas City Chiefs, the AFC Championship trophy is named for him). And their half-brother, Ray Hunt.
2. Homer's near exit of the plane near the end of the episode was reminiscent of Goldfinger's death in the eponymously named movie (he's a literatus, get him).

4. Judge Snyder and Lindsay Naegle making out. I suppose the Radical Right will be criticizing the Simpsons for showing that this week.
5. Rainier Wolfcastle was at "The Nag and Weasel" with a Maria Shriver lookalike.

7. The continuity gaffe as Homer played the tromamobone (sic)? The tone changed but Homer didn't move the slider.
8. Movies at the theatre (I originally thought this was an ad for a movie, and didn't realize that the show had restarted after the commercial break). 3 Fast 3 Furious Breast Camp Dude, Where's My Prostate? Michael Eisner vs. Michael Ovitz Kill Bill Maher Explosion 2 Baby Cops 3, Tired and Cranky Disney's "Stroller Rental" The Movie
