Thanks, but you don't have to post that here. Just put it in the edit summary and it will show up on the page's history. Sonic Mew 10:51, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but The Itchy & Scratchy Show exists only within The Simpsons, doesn't it? In which case, shouldn't this be mentioned in the first paragraph? 203.118.120.161 18:41, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

How could've they missed that? --Thorri 18:20, 22 Aug 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Satire/Parody

Where does I&S 'parody pop culture' or 'satirize movies'? I've only ever seen it satirizing violet cartoons. Every so often they reference a movie such as Reservoir Dogs, but that it hardly satire of it. I've removed the mentions. Can anyone prove me wrong? Ashmoo 06:46, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] "Worker and Parasite"

This part of article contradicts with special article on Worker_and_Parasite. Here the series in question is told to satirize Soviet "government-made cartoons". In special article -- "Gene Deich period" of "Tom & Jerry". Pehaps this should be corrected. I belive that the special article is more correct: this would be more "in-line" with whole "Tom & Jerry" parody scheme.

[edit] Stingy and Battery show

Oh come on. That bit where Krusty has to improvise on that doesn't deserve that much of a mention. It was just a gag I belive for that episode so it should only be a mention in my opinion.19:45, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Severe Bipolar Disorder in this Article

This article suffers from repeated or duplicated mentions of events. "Background" and "History within The Simpsons" are merely retellings of the same sequence of events, a few details left out of each. Then "Other Itchy & Scratchy characters" starts to go thru things a third time. Can't some of these sections be merged? I'd try it myself, but figured I'd mention it here first.--Firsfron 11:25, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

I've reorganized it. We're not here to mention every single gag used on or about I&S (Elvis, Marge, "Stingy and Battery"), only those that are noteworthy to the history within the series or notable to the use of I&S within The Simpsons.--Nonpareility 15:42, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Poochie

Krusty's line "you'll never see Poochie again" was cut out of the syndicated reruns of The Simpsons. Revisionist history? Busjack 17:52, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Couldn't this be one of the possible inspirations for Poochie: Wally Bear and the NO! Gang. An "ultrahip" cartoon animal designed by adults to appeal to youth culture. Dexsuperior 01:40, 11 July 2007 (CET)

[edit] Timeline

I strongly reccomend retooling of the "in 1990" stuff. This is all misleading as the Simpsons dont' age and exist within a static timeline. Proper phrasing would be either "in an 1990 episode" or simply (to far better use of reference), "in the episode [title]". Agree or disagree? if no response, I'll assume noone cares and correct it myself. TheHYPO 05:21, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Translations

What's the point of the translations section?--Nonpareility 22:05, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Show within a show within a show

I don't think the term "show within a show within a show" is actually accurate. The article on show-within-a-show says "A show-within-a-show is typically a fictional television show featured within the fictional universe of a real television show.". I&S is not a show in the fictional universe of the Krusty the Klown show, rather it's simply a portion of the Krusty the Klown show.--Nonpareility 23:02, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lyrics to the theme song

Does it start with "They fight! And bite! They fight and bite and fight!" or "They fight! And bite! They fight and fight and bite!"? I remember an episode where at the end of the show, they resing the theme song, softer and in past tense. I remember it being "They fought, and bit. They fought and fought and bit. Fought fought fought, bit bit bit... It was the Itchy and Scratchy Show!"--Nonpareility 23:02, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

I also remenber that episode. I forgot the name through--Taida 17:43, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Past"

Now that "Origins" is split out, the "Past" section of this article seems to mostly be a list of different things I&S parodied in a "past" setting. I don't think these things are necessarily notable in The Simpsons's universe.--Nonpareility 21:39, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

I've removed many things from both the "Past" and "Present" sections. A lot of it wasn't really notable in the context of I&S - for example, what Bart thinks of Disgruntled Goat and who Grampa thinks voices Itchy.--Nonpareility 21:42, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] In universe

What parts of this article need clean up because of in-universe style? Does a section named "History within The Simpsons" really need anything else to indicate that it's the history of I&S within The Simpsons rather than in real life?--Nonpareility 19:20, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
