Trivia

• The music during the 'where do the bowling pins go' scene is Raymond Scott's Powerhouse. This particular song turns up in many similar scenes and is a favorite of Matt Groening.
• This episode is Ricky Gervais' second favourite episode^[1]
• Technically, Homer's request to God that he "freeze everything exactly as it is" comes true as the basic structure of Homer's life following the conception of Maggie remains mostly unchanged (as a result of the lack of change in The Simpsons universe over countless seasons).
• The first person listed in the Springfield telephone book, "A. Aaronson", was previously mentioned in "Sideshow Bob Roberts", where he is the first listed person in the list of Springfield registered voters and voted for Sideshow Bob.
• This is only the second episode to date with "Maggie" in the title.
• When Homer discovers where the bowling pins go, the man throwing the bowling ball is Jacques from the episode "Life on the Fast Lane".

• Homer wrote "Dick Clark's Birthday" on the 16th on his calendar. His birthday is actually November 30.
• It has been revealed that Homer becomes bald due to the Marge's pregnancy of Bart and Lisa. First, when Marge tells Homer that she's pregnant with Bart, he rips out most of his hair. When she tells him that she's pregnant again with Lisa, Homer rips out the rest of his hair.

Cultural references

Goofs

• Homer's calendar reminds him that Dick Clark will appear on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno, however, Jay Leno did not become host of The Tonight Show until 1992, several years after Maggie was "technically" born (as she appeared in many episodes that aired prior to 1992, including several episodes where Johnny Carson is seen as the host of The Tonight Show).
• Homer's job in this episode contradicts his position in the nuclear plant, as he did not get promoted to safety inspector until "Homer's Odyssey".
• Ruth Powers is at Marge's baby shower even though she didn't move to Springfield until "New Kid on the Block".
• When Homer gets back to the Simpson home, after crawling back to Mr. Burns to get his job back, while he's talking to a pregnant Marge, a picture of Maggie in her "present day" state is on the wall.
• The Simpsons weren't living at 742 Evergreen Terrace until well after Lisa was conceived, yet the two flashbacks show Homer running up the stairs in their current home.
• The "Don't Forget. You're Here Forever"/"Do It For Her" plaque only appears for this episode.
• In the flashbacks of Marge telling Homer she's pregnant, when Homer runs up stairs on the wall going up the stair case there is a picture of Lisa although she wasn't even born yet.
• The flashbacks of Homer ripping out his hair when Marge announced the births of Bart and Lisa contradicts how Homer reacted to the pregnancies in "I Married Marge" and "Lisa's First Word". In "I Married Marge", Homer and Marge were in Doctor Hibbert's office and Dr. Hibbert broke the news that Marge was pregnant (by implying that he knows why she's been throwing up in the morning), to which Homer shouts, "D'oh!", which echoes down the hall, causing some guy in a body cast to say, "Poor guy" (and in the same episode, Homer's hair fell out naturally, Marge was living with her mom and sisters, and Homer was living with Barney Gumble, so there was no way they could have lived in the house that they live in now because that house wasn't shown until Lisa's First Word). In "Lisa's First Word", Homer and Marge were living in a rundown apartment (and didn't live in the house that they live in now until Grampa sold his house and gave Homer a check to pay for the house), Marge told Homer that she was pregnant herself, and Homer was happy about it until baby Bart flushed his car keys down the toilet.
• When Homer carries Marge up the stairs they go through a door that shows the other bedrooms but in every single episode before and after and in this episode it leads to the bathroom (shown when Marge beats Homer to the bathroom so she can throw up).
