- The alternate ending to "Who Shot Mr. Burns?" (featured in the 138th Episode Spectacular) was created to foreclose any staff (be it writers, or even the overseas animators) on The Simpsons from spoiling the mystery. At that place were also many of people who could take shot Mr. Burns equally shown in the same episode. Which included Apu (with a semi-automatic gun which fired multiple rounds instead of just one), Moe, Barney, Tito Puente, and even Santa's Little Helper (who held the gun in his mouth and somehow pulled the trigger).

- When Smithers realizes that he shot Jasper, instead of Mr. Burns, he mentions he left the coming together early in order to watch "Pardon My Zinger". Nevertheless, in the previous episode, y'all encounter him walk out of the meeting with everyone else, very slowly. (Debunked: Smithers was delirious at the fourth dimension. He probably couldn't remember the fact he did get out the meeting with everyone else.)

- In "The Old Man and the Lisa", Mr. Burns comes to the Simpsons firm for Lisa, asking her to help him rebuild his fortune after he loses all his money.

- In the comic story Babe Got Back (at Burns), when Mr. Burns and Smithers walk past Maggie at the beach, Burns says "await, Smithers, it's that child who shot me".
- There is another reference of Maggie as a "killer". In the episode "Poppa'south Got a Make New Badge", Homer is threatened to be killed past the mafia after stopping their business concern. Just as the mafia is almost to kill Homer, several gunshots wound all the gangsters. The shooter was, of course, Maggie.
The show as well refers to Who Shot Mr. Burns? in the post-obit line later on Maggie saves Homer: - Homer: Look at Maggie. Napping then peacefully.
Marge: Yep. Probably thinking of the time she shot Mr. Burns.
Homer: She'due south merely like Clark Kent. Whenever there'south lots of excitement, she'south nowhere to exist found.
(Homer and Marge leave. Maggie wakes up and smiles right at the camera ominously) - Maggie's propensity for firearms is also seen in the segment "The Fright to Creep and Scare Harms" of "Treehouse of Horror XIII" and in the comic story Maggie'southward Crib 10.
