Behind the scenes

 * The name of the family that used to live here is a reference to Ray Bradbury's story "There Will Come Soft Rains", about a robotic house in Allendale, California that still works after a nuclear war, not knowing that its owners have perished in the atomic blast. In the story, the last name of the home's owners was McClellan. The address is a reference to the story, which is set in 2026. Also worth noting is that the McClellan last name was used in Ray Bradbury's book "Fahrenheit 451", and the address "Bradley Place" seems to be a play on words for Ray Bradbury's last name.


 * The poem that the Mr. Handy recites is There Will Come Soft Rains by Sara Teasdale, a post-apocalyptic poem from 1920. Bradbury's story was inspired by the poem of the same name, by Sara Teasdale. In Bradbury's short story, the main computer of a robotic house reads the same poem, not knowing that the person who's supposed to be listening is long gone.


 * (From Wikipedia) "Only one living thing makes an appearance in the [Bradbury] story: a wild dog (though a family dog in later versions), which had been slowly dying from radiation poisoning. It makes its way back to the house only to die; its corpse is then swiftly removed by the house's automated cleaning robots." The dead body of the McClellans' dog Muffy can be found in the vicinity of the house exterior.
