First, just to clear something up, it's Fox which clips the opening credits.
So it's not a random geographical thing of some kind.  In the vicinity of
Toronto, Canada, we can receive The Simpsons both on a Fox station (broadcast
from Buffalo, New York, U.S.A.) and a non-Fox station (broadcast from Toronto).

There was a while when they were doing it to gain time to put in an
advertisement for the upcoming big crotch-rubbing Michael Jackson video
(competition for Snowball II?).  Nevertheless, astute individuals have noticed
that this clipping reduces the length by 28 seconds, and whenever they do this
you'll see two other seconds clipped somewhere else, like at two different
commercial breaks they flip to a commercial one second early each.  (The
standard TV commercial length is 30 seconds.)

Although I've never asked anyone and don't really know for sure and probably
shouldn't be spreading such potentially way off information, I just always 
that OFF is an anagram for Our Favorite Family.  So far that has fit in
contextually.  It's probably something much cooler though, and I'll wind

I would have called it Air Hockey as well.  Foosball is something else
entirely.  Foosball is the table game were you are playing soccer with
figures that move back and forth on rods.  You spin the rods in order
to "kick" the ball.

I don't know if Skeet shoot is another name for Air Hockey but it is
conceivable.  I know I saw someone post that the were playing ping-pong.

On Global television, it was something like "The meaning of life is" and then

Absolultely true, although they are very distant relatives.  Check the
book which I think is titled "The Simpsons Family Album".  It's a mildly
funny book with the Simpson and Bouvier family trees included.  C. Montgomery
Burns is indeed distantly related to Homer.

What I thought was nifty was that I thought I spotted a goof in that
Jimi's guitar sitting under the air hockey table was a *right-handed*
guitar, and Jimi was, of course, left handed.

Just as I thought I would have something to post about, realisation set in
and I remembered that the man always played a right-handed Strat, strung 
upside-down.

So not only did the show realise he was left-handed, they even had a right-
handed guitar under the table.  Now if it was strung upside-down *then* I'd be
impressed...

Close -- it's actually spelt "Jamshed".  I'm reasonably certain of the spelling
because it's a real Indian name (for example, it's the first name of one of
India's foremost industrialists, J.R.D. Tata -- well, actually, his first name
is Jamshedji).

Time to debunk what is rapidly becoming an urban legend.  Hitch is NOT in the
street scene at the beginning of Psycho.  He is in the second scene (even
earlier).  Shortly after Marion walks into her employer's office and talks
to her secretary-friend (played by Hitch's daughter Pat), Hitch walks by quickly
outside the door.  It's so fast that if you blink, you miss it.

Hitch is not in any of the street scenes, and I've watched that film frame by
frame, as I did a graduate paper on the cinematography in it.  (Here's another
neat one: the hotel Marion leaves when she flees with the money is the same
room that she arrives in later, at the Bates motel.  It's *supposed* to be
a different place, of course, but it's actually the same set, mostly the
same furniture rearranged, etc.  In fact, as she flees with the money in the
beginning, we see a shower nozzle and curtain in the background behind her...:)
