Season 14 by the way.

**sean** · 10-05-2006, 09:14 AM

which episode was it that lisa mentions liking a kid named langdon alger?

**Veryjammy** · 10-05-2006, 09:25 AM

Bart On The Road, Season 7

**The Real Brian McGee** · 10-05-2006, 10:00 AM

That was one of the writer's or maybe it was one of the producers childhood friends. They avoided any lawsuit by using a sof g instead of a hard G

**Friedman.Has.A.Point** · 10-06-2006, 08:03 AM

Umm... in the episode 'Girls Just Want to have sums", Marge says something about not being able to encounter calculus in her life or something.

I don't get why it's funny, although may others seem to think it's funny.

It is a reference to the first Indiana Jones Movie when the Nazis open the Ark and they sort of melt.

**Itchy** · 10-06-2006, 09:42 AM

Anyone know what the scene with the car stop outside the retirement home in Kidney Trouble was a parody of? Seemed like a spoof of a zombie movie or something.

**NegaDuck** · 10-11-2006, 01:22 PM

I'm pretty sure it was a parody of Night Of The Living Dead.

**BrideofMoleman** · 10-11-2006, 04:47 PM

What was with the nanny who went "Kill two for matching clogs!" in the See My Vest song? Was it a reference to anything or just random. I remember that scene always creeped me out as a kid

**Adam R** · 10-12-2006, 06:58 AM

^I think it was a reference to Beauty and the Beast, the movie that the scene was parodying.

**lindsay** · 10-12-2006, 08:50 AM

The "see my vest" song was parodying Beauty and the Beast's "be our guest." But the nanny in the song was actually from 101 Dalmations.

Its a joke about how calculus is taken in highschool but rarely used in real life.

**sung** · 10-12-2006, 12:07 PM

What's the episode when Homer accidentally puts the sex bomb song on Maggie's tape recorder?

**Adam R** · 10-12-2006, 12:11 PM

C.E.D'oh

**Charlie** · 10-12-2006, 11:39 PM

What's the song at the end of Burns Baby Burns?

It goes something like "anyway you want it, that's the way you need it, anyway you want it, i was alone, i never knew...".

**Ryan_** · 10-13-2006, 02:46 AM

"Any way you want it" by Journey.

SNPP capsules are handy for stuff like that, you know.

I've tried looking up songs in capsules before, but I never got any result, so I didn't bother with this one.

Thanks, by the way.

**yeahbutnobut** · 10-14-2006, 01:31 PM

Hello, please can someone confirm I've got these pronunciations right....

Al Jean (as in jeans, not the French way?)
Hank Azaria (Az-area not Az-are-ea?)
Julie Kavner (Kavv-ner not Karve-ner?)
And in Dan Castellaneta the only emphasis is on the "net", is that right? (as in "vendetta, vendetta"

)

cheers

**Adam R** · 10-14-2006, 01:36 PM

I'm pretty sure you got them all right. I'm suprised that you weren't certain about those, yet you somehow knew how to pronounce 'Yeardley'. Took me forever to get that right!

**moneychair2003** · 10-18-2006, 03:38 AM

i never understood the ending to "midnight rx" like where homer becomes a free lance consultant for mr burns and then says "what's this lump on my neck?". it just makes no sense to me.

**Simpsons Forever!** · 10-18-2006, 05:58 AM

Burns says only full-time employees can now benefit from his new health plan. By being made a free-lance consultant, Homer is no longer a full-time employee, thus not insured under the SNPP health plan. Therefore, he can not treat the lump he finds on his neck, as he can't afford to and has no health insurance.

(This plot makes no sense in the UK, by the way - the NHS would treat anyone for for free.)

**sean** · 10-18-2006, 10:16 AM

which episode does it mention that martin prince plays the lute? does it ever show him playing the lute? i seem to remember him being a lute player, but i'm drawing a blank on where it's addressed.

**Adam R** · 10-18-2006, 10:23 AM

He plays it for Bart in Bart's Friend Falls in Love, but he was also seen in Lisa's Rival with it ("Ow, my lute!" when Jimbo hits him).

**The Real Brian McGee** · 10-18-2006, 03:43 PM

is the monage in the homer they fall a reference a movie? seems like it..

**moneychair2003** · 10-18-2006, 05:35 PM

yah im pretty sure they might say it in the commentary which movie it is a refrence to. it might just be that the song is in some movie.

**dapper dan** · 10-18-2006, 09:32 PM

I'm pretty sure it was Raging Bull (Robert DeNiro).

BTW, what was the 200th episode?

**Bobo** · 10-18-2006, 09:44 PM

Trash of the Titans, season 9.

**Rest your giant head** · 10-18-2006, 10:36 PM

I'm pretty sure it's The Wizard of Evergreen Terrace, Season 10.

**Adam R** · 10-19-2006, 07:14 AM

In the commentary for THOHVII, Cohen says that they stole the plots from all 3 segments for Futurama. I'm not too sure what they are, can anyone help me?

Thing and I: Farnsworth Parabox
Genesis Tub: Godfellas
Citizen Kang: Head in the Polls?
