"Indecent Proposal" [movie]

Movie with same plot as this episode -- starring Robert Redford and Demi Moore IIRC; title is a take-off too.

"Love Boat" [TV Series]

PaZIFFic Prince is a play on words on "Pacific Princess", the boat on "The Love Boat"

Music References:

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, by Elton John: Prom theme was Goodbye Yellow Brick Prom

Disco Inferno, by the Trammps [sic]; Precious and Few, by Climax: Music heard at the prom

Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This), by the Eurythmics: Music playing in Ziff's snore converter.

DYNs:

Marge is able to split her hairdo in two? Frink had fish in his platform shoes? Milhouse's parents seemed to be together at Artie Ziff's prom? I wonder how much Ziff had to pay them for *that*.

The inevitable "Where's Springfield?" debate

Marge points out that West Springfield is three times the size of Texas. Compared to the size of Springfield itself on the map in Act 3, Springfield would seem to be quite large. Too large for Krusty to take Lisa to West Springfield Elementary in "Trilogy of Error".

Also, the river south of West Springfield bears a slight resemblance to the flow of the Rio Grande, if you presume that the map has north at the top.

Ted Schuerzinger Bart Simpson, interviewing his father: What religion are you? Homer: You know, the one with all the well-meaning rules that don't work out in real life. Uh, Christianity.

So if West Springfield is three times the size of Texas, I'm going to change my official Springfield location to Alaska. :-)
