[edit] Dirty limerick?

Does anyone have evidence that the limerick predates the episode, or if so, is well-known enough that this reference might be intentional? It's a hell of a coincidence if one didn't inspire the other, but I've never heard it. Twin Bird 17:25, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] No image

Happen to have spotted that the image is broken for this episode --Mortice 16:44, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Character debuts

- This article states that Dr. Marvin Monroe debuts in this episode, but he actually debuts much earlier in the season. 86.3.222.190 21:42, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

As the article states, this was the first full length episode of the Simpsons to be produced (even though it was the thirteenth episode to be shown). NIST91 05:14, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AKOM not responsible for bad animation?

I have been researching the Simpsons, and was under the impression that it wasn't AKOM who did the original bad animation. Maybe I am incorrect.

The relevant quote is from The New York Times:

The director and culpable animators were summarily dismissed and the order of the shows had to be hastily shuffled. The initial episode was not broadcast until Dec. 17. Another month lapsed before the second show appeared, forcing some merchandisers to postpone shipping Simpsons products.

But I guess this doesn't necessarily mean that it wasn't AKOM. I think that I may have read somewhere else that AKOM came on later

Also, maybe we can flow this into the article, rather than just having the bits about the rubber doors:

"The most offensive insertion appeared during a bit in which the Simpsons were watching a TV show called The Happy Little Elves Meet the Curious Bear Cubs. The animators had stuck in a scene in which a bear cub tore off the head of an elf and giddily began to drink his blood."

This is also from the NY Times article. Here's the link:

[edit] Good article review

GA review (see here for criteria)

This is a nice piece of work, but it still has some shortcomings with respect to the good article criteria.

  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS):
    Did Marge admit Homer's name during her radio conversation with Dr. Monroe? If not, it would be best to re-write the advice that Dr. Monroe gives to Marge.
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
    One concern comes to mind; does reference 3 support the fact that the episode was intended to be the last episode of the first season? If so, I just wanted to make sure that a source was provided.
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
    In the fifth paragraph of the Production, turned out as poorly, but fortunately it turned out to suffer only a few, easily fixable problems, would be best to be written clear from point-of-view. The seventh paragraph comes the same, because it looked weird to have a character with the same hair color as his skin, is written from a point-of-view and needs to be written clearly to understand.
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars etc.:
  6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:
    The article reads well, the only thing holding the article is if these comments can be met. Once they are completed, the article would be turned into a Good article. Good luck and if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Hi. Thanks for the review. I appreciate it. I will do my best to fix the issues:
1a) Marge does indeed mention Homer's name on the radio.
2b) Yes, ref 3 does support the fact. Do you need a ref tag, so it easier to see?
4) I have rewritten the parts that seemed POV. --Maitch (talk) 15:23, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Alright, I just wanted to see if Marge did indeed reveal Homer's name during her interview. No, a tag is not necessary, I just wanted to make sure that the source did cover the information that needed to be provided. Thanks for being quick with the problems. I have passed it as a Good article. Zenlax T C S 19:08, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
