* HilariousInHindsight: Mr. Burns not even knowing Maggie's name gains a new level of irony after "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS6E13AndMaggieMakesThree And Maggie Makes Three]]" reveals Homer quit working for Burns shortly before Maggie's conception, and only returned to work for him to support his third child.

%%What makes these instancs forgivable comapred to later episodes?* FranchiseOriginalSin
%%** While later seasons would go far further overboard with special guest appearances and attract far more criticism for it, this was the first episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' to have a special guest star (Tony Bennett) AsHimself.
%%** This is also the episode that originated the trope of "Homer gets a new job for one episode," which would go on to be considered as overplayed several seasons later.

%%What makes these instancs forgivable comapred * AlternativeJokeInterpretation: After Mr. Burns' [[PatheticallyWeak laughable]] attempt at throwing the first pitch at the game, Smithers happily says "I think I could actually hear the air being torn, sir," prompting Mr. Burns to later episodes?* respond with an indignant "Oh, shut up." Was Smithers' comment an attempt at [[SycophanticServant sucking up to his boss]] and lessening his embarrassment? Or was he [[StealthInsult sneakily making fun of him]]? Both interpretations have merit; despite his devotion to Mr. Burns, Smithers has been shown to not be above [[DeadpanSnarker snarking at]] his boss either.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Capital City is a parody of America's big cities at the time (1990), being portrayed as dirty, dark, and dangerous (at least at night). This is hardly the case anymore for New York (at least under Giuliani) and Boston, both of which have "gentrified", though Detroit and Pittsburgh are still on dire straits.
