Trivia

Alternate version of the title card.

• In some airings, the text in the title card had different colors.
• This is the last episode to premiere in 2002.
• In this episode, and in a few others, Doug Dimmadome's ten-gallon hat is so tall that the top is never shown on screen no matter how far the scene zooms out.
• "The Masked Stranger" is obviously Timmy.
• This episode is referenced by Doug Dimmadome in Channel Chasers.
• According to what is said in this episode, nobody reads the manual (namely because Old West Chester derides it as being for "yellerbellies", though may just be to cover up the fact that people are too ignorant or lazy to read).
• This episode shows how easily Mr. Turner can be bribed as he gave Mr. Dimmadome the deed to Dimmsdale Flats when Mr. Dimmadome said he would trade the deed for eight bucks.
• Since Timmy didn't meet his own ancestor, it is possible his trip into the past where he posed as the Masked Stranger was a temporal paradox, in which by going into the past with knowledge of the Masked Stranger, Timmy became the heroic figure, and was remembered for it, which is how he would learn of the Masked Stranger in his time.
• In the German version, the two cowboys, who are talking to each other during the introduction of Dimmsdale Flats 120 years ago, are actually speaking.

  Allusions

The Lone Ranger with a deed with "B. Hartman" sign

• Odd, Odd West - The title is a parody of the movie Wild, Wild West starring Will Smith.

• The Dimmsdale Flats deed had the words "B. Hartman" and "insanity" on it.

• The Lone Ranger - Timmy's Old West disguise is an allusion of the legendary western hero.

• Harry Potter - "Wait'll my four fathers hear about this!" Chester is referring to Harry Potter character Draco Malfoy's catchphrase "Wait until my father will hear about this."

• Billy the Kid - Vicky the Kid is a pun on it.

• Dances With Wolves - "Dances with Wands" is a reference to the film.

• Old West Computer - "Ya'll got a parcel!" - This is a spoof of the famous America Online spoken notification, 'You've got mail!'.

• Chester: "Bring it on, Wiley!" - Chester is referring to the classic Looney Tunes character, Wile E. Coyote, the coyote who fails to trap the Roadrunner.

Running Gags

• Someone saying "Nobody reads the manual".
• Someone deriding something they don't like as being "fer yellerbellies".

Goofs

• Dimmsdale Flats is said to be the place where Timmy's Dad grew up, but in "Father Time!", "The Secret Origin of Denzel Crocker!", and "Timmy Turnip", it says this differently.
• Mr. Turner would have suffocated because of having a bandage around the nose and he is nowhere else to breathe.
• Why Mr. Turner didn't call Timmy "son" when Timmy gives him Dimmsdale Flats deed and says, "My dad"?
• Old West Chester, after hearing about a manual, suggests going somewhere and not reading, like "real men". Technically, since they are the ancestors of Timmy's friends, they would not be considered men (especially since they cowered under Vicky the Kid's authority).
