Trivia
The writers decided to have a scene where Lisa and Bart visit Homer before his surgery and were unsure of how to do it, so they approached James L. Brooks, who made up the entire scene on the spot.

Goofs
During the "Cops" segment, Chief Wiggum asks Reverend Lovejoy if his address is 742 Evergreen Terrace. He says it's next door; where we then see Snake leave his residence. 742 Evergreen Terrace is the address of The Simpsons. Snake wouldn't be there and Lovejoy doesn't live next door.

Quotes
[Homer collapses in Mr. Burns' office. His spirit begins to rise up from his body]
Smithers: Mr. Burns, I think he's dead.
Mr. Burns: Oh, dear. Send a ham to his widow.
Homer Simpson: Mmm... ham.
[Homer's spirit returns to his body]
Smithers: No, wait - he's alive!
Mr. Burns: Oh, good. Cancel the ham!
Homer Simpson: D'oh!

One of the best!

This is definitely one of the best episodes of The Simpson's. It has all the ingredients that's made this so great... comic humour from a serious situation and real family values. Really enjoy watching this one.
