Homer Loves Flanders

In one scene in the episode, Marge begins hallucinating after drinking from Springfield's water supply, which has been spiked with LSD by Springfield's rival town, Shelbyville. The Fox network's censors wanted the scene to be cut from the episode because they did not like the idea of Marge "getting high" on LSD. David Mirkin, however, defended the scene and argued Marge was not "doing it on purpose", so the censors ultimately allowed the scene to remain in the episode.

During Ned's dream sequence, for a single frame, a blank cell with a cross through it can be seen. This is a misplaced blank animation cell.

In the Spanish language version, Homer's "Ted Koppel" line is changed to "Michael Jackson".
