REVIEW: B - oh look, somebody did something bad, his wife found out,
        he gets tossed out of the house, the obligatory bachelor
        apartment scene, they get back together, the end - but this
        time, replace Homer with Apu, Marge with Manjula, Barney with
        Kirk, and throw in a strange list of things Apu has to do

COINCIDENCES THAT COULD BE REFERENCES IF YOU STRETCH THE DEFINITION OF "REFERENCE" "Rugrats" (one of the octuplets' first words is "cookie", like Angelica)

DYN
...the WWII veterans are wearing VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars),
   as opposed to VPW (Veterans of Popular Wars), hats?
...Dr. Frink is wearing a German uniform?
...Lisa is involved in a war re-enactment?
...Homer knows how to spell "eunuch", or at least that it starts
   with an "e"?
...the list includes "Fix Carburetor"?
...Apu isn't wearing his nametag in the show, or in bed?

GOOFS / FREEZE FRAME / WHATNOT "30-Love" is not a badminton score.

The glass jars (or at least something that sounds incredibly like glass) didn't break when Homer knocked them off their stand.

Did Stonewall Jackson (who died at Chancelorsville) and Ulysses Grant ever fight against each other in the same battle?
