[edit] Add music played by Lisa?

It strikes me that, in addition to "blackboard" and "couch_gag", there should be a field for the phrase Lisa plays on her sax on the way out of the band room. This also changes from episode to episode (though I'm not sure it's different every time). --Trovatore 02:59, 16 October 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Dammit...

The SNPP capsule link is wrong for some episodes, like Whacking Day and Brother from the Same Planet. Some SNPP capsules are in files names (production code).html, some in files named (production code), and most are in both. How do you handle that? 152.3.46.147 23:49, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
