[edit] Production Codes

Why do some of the episodes have the production code 3Gxx? It doesn't appear in the key on the top. (One of the episodes in question was 'Lisa's Sax')141.156.231.174 19:08, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

This appears to be only two episodes, both in season 9, so I've put the code in there. Anthrcer (click to talk to me) 11:22, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Half the list

What happened to, like, half the list? —Signed, your friendly neighborhood MessedRocker. 03:32, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

what about including writer and director in the tables. That kind of comparative information is useful to recognize their style within the series.--T-man, the wise 02:22, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard#Clean_up_for_the_featured_ones

There is a discussion concerning the images on the individual season article of this show at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard#Clean_up_for_the_featured_ones. They are removing all fair use images. - Gman124 19:11, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DVD covers

What happened to the images of the DVD covers in the table of contents? I think the images add significantly to the quality of the article. --Hotdoglives 00:21, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Removed per fair use policy change. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Maitch (talk • contribs) 15:31, 6 May 2007 (UTC).

Lame. This used to be one of the best-looking Wikipedia articles before the image removal, IMO. Hope this isn't permanent. --Hotdoglives 03:28, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Links between seasons

If you look at the page for ANY South Park episode, on the far right there is a list of all the episdoes in that season. This is in the simpsons too, but in the South Park version there are two arrows at the bottom of the list that link to the preivious season and the next season. I think this should be included in the simpsons pages because it makes navigation extremely easy.

[edit] Colors

What do the colors next to the seasons mean on the list of seasons at the top? --Wack'd ^{Talk to me! • Admire my handiwork!} 16:25, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

The colour of the season's DVD box. Gran² 17:16, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Than why are seasons 11-19, which are yet to be realeased on DVD (or even have an announced date), listed as having yellow boxes? --Wack'd ^{Talk to me! • Admire my handiwork!} 17:25, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Because the Simpsons are yellow, and that's better than plain white. Gran² 17:42, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] US Copyright Data

Those three sources for the US Copyright links, the go no where, just to let you know. I mean, they go to a generic page that doesn't mention The Simpsons.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 21:25, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

We know, the copyright database, doesn;t allow specific links. Gran² 21:30, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Centralized TV Episode Discussion

Over the past months, TV episodes have been redirected by (to name a couple) TTN, Eusebeus and others. No centralized discussion has taken place, so I'm asking everyone who has been involved in this issue to voice their opinions here in this centralized spot, be they pro or anti. Discussion is here [1]. Even if you have not, other opinions are needed because this issue is affecting all TV episodes in Wikipedia, including this one. --Maniwar (talk) 19:43, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

I've checked it out. Boy, do I have a lot to read up on. thanks for the HU. Eaglestorm (talk) 02:36, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Searching the copyright database

How does one search the U.S. Copyright Records database? I want to find titles of the fourth season of Lost. An actor confirmed that episode 7 is titled "Ji Yeon". Maybe you could search for that and tell me how you found it. –thedemonhog talk • edits 22:50, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

the copyright database is more efficient for shows with a lengthy production process such as animation shows, which take about 9 months to produce an episode, as compared to weeks for a show like lost. Some shows also don't submit things in advance to the database, or dont submit all the details. I believe if you go here http://lostseason3.blogspot.com/ they list the season 4 titles for the first 8 eps, with some other spoilerish info. Grande13 (talk) 22:56, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

I know about lostseason3.blogspot.com, but it is not considered a reliable source. Thanks, –thedemonhog talk • edits 23:07, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

I took a look for you and didn't find anything. I searched for Ji Yeon, and there is nothing. I also tried a search for the word Lost, which got a LOT of results, but nothing relating to the show. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 23:54, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

All right, thanks. For future reference, how did you come across "Double, Double, Boy in Trouble"? –thedemonhog talk • edits 00:41, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

I searched for "Simpsons", then rearranged the results so that they were sorted by the date they were added in descending order. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 00:51, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] simpsons episode articles

How come every episode article has been completly cut inhalf?--76.230.146.131 (talk) 18:50, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Could you elaborate? Are you perhaps wondering why all of the unsourced trivia and cultural references have gone from some pages? Gran² 18:52, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
