How can I edit the infotable to include this episode? Or is that something only administrators and other high clearance people can do?- B-101 00:12, 15 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Having just watched the episode, I could comment on this. But that would be an opinion, which is naturally a biased point of view, and is also completely unhelpful to the betterment of Wikipedia.

I could say this though: under "Goofs", Wikipedia states that the plackard saying "President Krusty" is wrong. Being that Krusty is a nickname, and Krustofsky, his real name, isn't on the plackard, it would probably be safe to assume that he was always known among his peers as Krusty. As such, if one wanted to try to defend The Simpsons as not having screwed up, one could call this nothing more than Springfield being unprofessional. (Which is nothing strange.) I could of course be wrong, and I'm sure that there are other people on Wikipedia who disagree with me entirely. So please, if anyone has any opinions on this topic, please talk. -65.96.103.25 00:07, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

There's a Bob Dylan reference made by Lenny, but I don't think it's important enough to put on the "cultural references" section, should I just put it in the quotes and explain it? BoBoCTiberius 23:42, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

The cultural section is wrong. There was an episode featuring a poker game on SBTB. It's not relevant, but it was the episode where Screech lost his dog to the nerd. Carn29 14:21, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lisa's E-mail address

Shouldn't Lisa's E-mail address be smartgirl63_\@yahoo.com thus invalid? I think that's what the producers meant. 68.73.118.48 22:15, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Agreed - the idea of using the word 'backslash' seems contrived. Whoever changed it could at least have suggested it on the talk page first. Reverting to how it was.--Christopher 15:32, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Why is that contrived? I mean "smartgirl63_\@yahoo.com" is, as pointed out, an invalid email address. In the absence of an authoritative material saying this was meant as a joke (by the producers, etc.), the natural understanding should be "smartgirl63_backslash@yahoo.com". Unless, of course, someone has access to a copy of closed-caption or DVD subtitle text, which, if it does print it in the format of an email address (rather than spelling out @ as 'at') should settle the matter one way or another. novakyu 04:30, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Regardez

The boy, introducing Lisa to the school, says "regardez." This is not a goof: normally, one child would say "regarde" to the other, but the two have never met, ergo the boy is being formal.JW 01:12, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
