Storyline

- TriviaIn the final scene of the episode, Homer is sent to the real world in the first ever live-action scene in the show. It was filmed on Ventura Boulevard in Studio City and directed by David Mirkin, who later said that Fox "couldn't have been less supportive" because they thought it would be too expensive. The scene involves a crane shot which pulls back as the credits are shown. Fox "begrudgingly" allowed Mirkin to use a crane for the ending. The scene was filmed on a sidewalk with the crane on the street and Mirkin was not able to fully stop traffic for the shot. Because of this, when the camera swings around, a line of cars can be seen backed up on the street. Mirkin was also disappointed in the quality of the camera pan, again blaming the lack of support from Fox and the inability to halt the traffic.
- GoofsIn the three-dimensional world, Homer encounters a signpost indicating the directions of X, Y and Z, with X and Z indicating right and back, with Y pointing upward. But X and Y are the directions of the flat plane, which in three dimensions is considered to be the floor. The "up" direction, that gives 3D objects their solidity, is normally labeled Z.
- Crazy creditsThis is the first Treehouse of Horror episode to not have a cemetery motive or tombstones with humorous names in its opening. This is also the first Treehouse of Horror episode to have a short opening.

Featured review
Unprocessed fishsticks!
Not wishing to suffer a night of boring stories and horrid family activities with Patty and Selma, Homer scours the house for a hiding place and has to settle for a spot behind the bookcase after Bart, Lisa and the pets take the better ones.
But behind the bookcase is the doorway to another dimension, a place where shapes are extended beyond the 2 dimensions of the Simpsons universe, along the hypothetical 'Z-Axis'. This leads to Homer noticing things he has never been able to see before, such as his big belly and butt.
The place Homer is taken to is a massive grid-like universe, not unlike the movie Tron, where the stars shine brightly above and odd shapes and idiosyncrasies are in abundance. Among the many curious things Homer encounters is the library from Myst, which I thought was a cool reference. Also, the music as Homer wanders around in this mysterious place is very nice, it's a shame it never made it to any of the Simpsons CDs.
In the end, though Homer's own ignorance of quantum physics (he never read the book by that wheelchair guy) and despite Bart's rescue attempts, the universe collapses on itself and Homer falls into oblivion, or some place much, much worse...
...the real world. Well, at least he still has his erotic cakes.
