    • Trivia
      The staff were able to get the central cast of Cheers (1982), with the exception of Kelsey Grammer, to reunite and guest star in the episode. The staff could not arrange the script to allow time in the episode for Grammer, who already had a recurring role as Sideshow Bob, to voice Frasier Crane.
    • Goofs
      In this episode, Marge shows her fear of flying, yet three seasons earlier in "Mr. Lisa Goes to Washington" Marge is perfectly fine on a plane.
    • Quotes

      [after Homer has been banned from Moe's, a man comes in who looks exactly like Homer except for a fake-looking moustache and an English voice]

      Guy N. Cognito: Greetings good men, might I trouble you for a drink?

      Moe: Oh get out of here, Homer!

      Guy N. Cognito: Homer? Who is Homer? My name is Guy N. Cognito.

      [Homer walks past Moe's, despondent. From inside comes the sound of Guy N. Cognito getting beaten up by Moe, and he's thrown unconscious out of the bar and onto the street]

      Homer: Oh, my God, this man is my exact double!

      [a small, fluffy-tailed dog walks by]

      Homer: That dog has a fluffy tail!

      [Homer leaves Guy and starts pursuing the dog]

      Homer: Come here, fluff!

    Pretty funny episode.
    Season six was the first season of The Simpsons that had a very disjointed feel about it. Some of the episodes felt like Season Five episodes, and some felt like much later ones. This falls into the former category. Fear of Flying has the same structured randomness to it that made seasons four and five so wonderful. Marge actually gets some funny lines here, and a character attribute that was hinted at earlier is further developed: despite being the voice of reason, she doesn't always have it all together. Homer's search to find a new bar leads to a very funny Cheers parody. The highlight of this episode is probably Anne Bancroft, who deserves to go down in history as one of the funniest guest stars ever. Her soothing yet sarcastic voice is perfect for psychiatrist Dr. White, who isn't nearly as patient and compassionate as we might expect. Overall a strong episode.
