- TriviaThe series' running gag of Mr. Burns being unbelievably old gets an additional wrinkle here. Burns' age is usually stated to be 104, so he'd be born in 1893 for the purpose of this story. But the series also contains frequent clues that he's even older than he lets on. In this one he owns a stock from "Confederated Slave Holdings," suggesting that he was already in business before 1865 (the last year of American slavery).
- ErroresIn an episode from an earlier season Krusty acts like his insides are being shredded by a metal Krusty O prize that was being sold in Krusty O's cereal, but it turned out to be just a regular Krusty O, yet he picks up a box at the grocery store in this episode.

Opinión destacada
Mr Burns loses everything thanks to bad financial advice and turns to Lisa for help.
This is a strong comedy with good character moments.
The build up to Burns' loss of money is very fun, particularly the portrayal of "yes men" which is something recognisable in people who gravitate towards rich, powerful individuals, albeit maybe not as extreme as this.
From then on we see him struggling with ordinary life and trying to rebuild his fortune in a humorous arc that ends with a very ironic concept that wouldn't be out of place in a Halloween special. As ever the writers use Mr Burns very well to make evilness funny.
Easily the best part is the brilliant final scene involving Homer.
