REFERENCES "Postcards from the Edge" (title) 3F02 (Springfield's subway system) "An American in Paris" (music during "future Springfield" movie) "House, M.D." ("Mouse, M.D.") "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" ("Crouching Tiger Hidden Eggroll")
DYN ...the TV didn't fall off of the wall in the opening, even though the opening included a crow flying from left to right? ...the film was dated 1956? ...the music in the film (and in the closing credits) is George Gershwin's "An American in Paris"? ...the letter had two Itchy & Scratchy stamps on it? ...Springfield Elementary's address is (I think) 19 Plympton Street? ...the Hibberts are back at the First Church of Springfield? ...Principal Skinner's diplomas are from Springfield Community College, Springfield Extension School, and Springfield Diploma Mill? ...none of Skinner's diplomas list his name as "W. Seymour Skinner", like the one shown in 2F16? ...the closing credits were in white, even when they switched to a black background? (Presumably, white credits were easier to see over the colored background, and it was easier to make them all the same color)
GOOFS / FREEZE FRAME / WHATNOT Bart says he never knew Springfield had a subway system, but he passed right by a subway station in 3F02.
When Homer yells up to Lisa, the moon is shown near the horizon in a crescent moon with the lit part on the left. This is possible in the northern hemisphere only early in the morning.
