David Mirkin's Favourite episode...

I'm wonder where's the source on David Mirkin mentioning that this is one of his favourite episode. If this is left in based on the DVD commentary, most of those on the commentary would call the episode their favourite. At least this is the case for season 3-7. The only other thing that I have noticed they've mentioned is that the "most underrated episode" for Homer the Smithers. 24.84.112.234 09:59, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

what does this line mean?=

There are subtle hints spread throughout following seasons that this is actually the show's last episode and that The Simpsons Movie will in some way reveal this, with the comet failing to burn up in the atmosphere above Springfield and the entire cast of the show assembled singing.

How is is the last episode? It makes no sense.86.42.24.248 16:47, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, that kind of confused me too. Can we get some examples, if they exsist?68.83.248.127 22:22, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yellow Apu

In the scene where the townsfolk climb up the hill to meet Ned after he is evicted from the shelter, and they are all singing Que Sera Sera, Apu is incorrectly colored as a yellow skinned person. Anyone notice this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.239.200.158 (talk) 17:05, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ha, I just saw that, you're right.. Ok this is weird though, the episode is on right now and... Ned's singing was cut out, during the bits where the bomb shelter door is closed... leaving just .. silence.. which is creepier somehow.. but it can't be a music rights issue since they sing it at the end. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.73.70.113 (talk) 00:24, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

New Cultural Reference

The scene where the comet is passing over the town and darkening everything has a reference to "Duck and Cover". A kid is fixing his bike on the side of the road when he sees the comet. Then he runs and hides under a bench, just like in the video here:

edit: sorry, that's not the right video. I know for certain it's in one of those films, though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.140.120.165 (talk) 21:57, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Me again. I found the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vc_oz8Z9Qfw The bike shot is at about 6:50. Adding the entry. 141.140.120.19 (talk) 04:04, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Astronomy in Bart's Comet

The numbers that Skinner is reading to Bart at the telescope are actual astronomical co-ordinates, the equivalent of latitude & longitude. I've not been able to find a source that describes where they are in the sky, but I can find them by looking at a star chart. Should this info be added, or would it be original research? — Preceding unsigned comment added by TomLuTon (talk • contribs) 19:36, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think this counts as original research. Gran² 19:58, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
