	  Vanessa Williams lost her Miss America title when some
lezbo fotos of her somehow managed to turn up in a 1983 (?) issue
of Penthouse Magazine.  Miss America chicks are somehow supposed to
represent the "perfect American girl" (ie wholesome, voluptuous, and
generally subservient to men), so they shitcanned her.

	  The joke is that a pageant winner somehow has the clout to
actually say stuff at the UN, and that what she said somehow brought
disgrace upon the Miss American Girl title.

	  BTW1:  Cool SNL sketch of "Miss Pregnant Teenage America"

This seems to happen quite often...........
          They cut the sequence with the chalkboard and of Marge
          driving home and pretty much skip to the part where Homer
          is running into the garage. 

          Why do they do this?
          Is it so they can squeeze in more commercials?
          Is it because there's no new blackboard scene ready to show?

This is my first posting to this group, so excuse me if this
question has already been answered.

In the 1st episode of the Simpsons (2 yrs ago?). In the opening
sequence.  When Homer discovers the radioactive bar attached to
his back. Does he remove it, throw it out the window, and the
bar goes down the storm drain?

I notice that it now bounces off the curb and goes off into
wherever.


Thanks.

To whom it may concern;

I have posted this before, but for those who missed it here it is again....

Several weeks ago at the radio station that I work at, we received word on our
Associated Press Newswire about some upcoming episodes of the Simpsons as given
by the shows' spokesperson (a Mr. Silverman).  The Newsbit contained the
following information that might help explain the six months bit....

It said that in addition to Aunt Selma becoming artificially inseminated, Marge
leaving the Simpson household to pursue a job, Homer meeting God
face-to-face, and Bart finally having a crush on a *girl*, Homer was also going 
to have a heart-attack (look at this past show with the super-waffle and stick of 
butter!!  This could be a prelude...).  This episode of the 'heart-attack' was 
said to be quite graphic...

So far, one down and four to go..........

As I said before, if I see any relevant information come down the Wire
again.....I would be happy to post it.

I talked with a few friends about this one day and we came up with about a half
dozen TV shows that were located in "Springfield". (For the life of me, though, 
I can't remember one of them.  Isn't that always the way...)  Just after talking
to my friends about this, I was watching a TV movie starring John Ritter as 
a minister who joins a PTL/700 Club type ministry located in Springfield,
Colorado.  (It wasn't as good as you might think it would be.  It was 
obviously from the days before such TV ministries were exposed as a farce.)  
TV shows just by convention seem to be located in "Springfield" and I 
believe this is where the creators of The Simpsons decided to locate the 
show since they tend to parody just about everything else in existence.

Actually, someone says that Amber survived, is fine, and has already won the
"Little Miss Intensive Care" contest. It's mentioned while Lisa is taking
the oath of office to become the new "Little Miss Springfield".

I don't know if that makes it less tasteless, but I wanted to clear things
up.

	Yeah, that is pretty weird--  especially since it seems to be a tongue-
in-cheek apology for the Overture of the musical in the "A Streetcar named 
Marge" episode, which was, presumably, shown in Canada as well.

	BTW, one of the references I thought I noticed in the show was to
the movie _Hairspray_, with Lisa's main competition being a blonde named
"Amber"--  who initially won the contest, but had to give her crown up because
of an injury.  When they showed Amber's parents, did anyone happen to notice
whether or not they looked like the parents of Amber in _Hairspray_ (who
were played by Debbie Harry and Sonny Bono)?

Did anyone catch this reference?  No Soap Radio was printed on

a TV that lasted only a few episodes in the early '80s.  The only
think I remember about the show was that Tony Rosato from SNL

Yes indeed.   

OBcultural_literacy:   In "A Clockwork Orange," Anthony Burgess invented a
"nadsat" argot for his central characters, Alex and his droogs.   "Nadsat"
is the suffix in Russian analogous to "teen" in English (as in "eighteen"),
and the words Burgess uses are all lifted from Russian ("droog," for
example, from the Russian for "friend").   The effect--a semidecipherable
teen dialect, placing Alex & friends in their own world of which we can at
best be outside observers--is wonderful, though having studied Russian it's
far less confusing to me than it was for my grandmother (who saw the movie
as part of a rather ill-advised senior citizen outing...but that's another
story! :-)   "Golova" is Russian for "head," so Bart (the malinki malchik)
was complaining of a headache.

How can you read only *half* a post ?!?

Either read and understand EVERYTHING that someone writes or don't read
it at all!

I EXPLICITLY said "I'm not arguing that Springfield is in a Canadian
province".  I also stated that there were many obvious references to
it being in the USA.

But as I stated above:
>>However, to emphasize that Springfield is a "generic-could-be-anywhere" town,
I cited an example of characteristics that Springfield could be almost
anywhere.

There is a certian feeling of pride that any viewer gets when there is a
familiarity with where they live/grew up with something in a television
program or movie.  As such, the town that OFF lives in is designed to
"spark" this familiarity with just about any viewer.

I suggest to you, Alan Rosenthal, that you take a reading comprehension
course before you attempt to flame anyone.

Agreed- one of ther best Simpson's ever; everyone seemed pretty much back in
character too.  The opening was terrible - we didnt even see the living room
or driveway - just the opening credit for about 1 second.

Something still seems off with the voices, like they are more hollow than
before, but otherwise it looks like this should have been the season opener
instead of that theater drivel.

Overall, great episode.  I loved

	- the ducks! (a Caldicott-winner "Make Way for Ducks!" reference?)

And everything else.  Except the very, very, very end.  Very
un-Simpsons-like.  A little too ominous, and the (fade under
announcer's voice) effect was a really cheap gag.


Continuity/animation goofz:

	Yeah, why WAS Ned (going to be) the first out of the church?
Maybe he was an usher that week on the rotating usher schedule.

	Homer's two hairs burn off.  In the immediately following
scene, there they are, on the top of his head.  And they stay there
for the rest of the episode.

	Why in the WORLD was Bart wearing SHORTS in church on that
freezing cold day?  And Lisa -- a sunbonnet?  Bart might be rebellious,
but I don't think he would wear shorts in the winter.  And I think
Marge would definitely send him back upstairs to put on some warm
clothes.

	Football from on television from 11am to noon on a sunday?
This conclusively proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that Springfield
must be in the Pacific or Mountain time zones... (PLEASE do not
respond to this point!)

	What happened to Bart in sunday school?  Why are he and Lisa
at the sermon?  One of the best scenes of all time was Bart in sunday
school, interrogating his exaspirated sunday school teacher: "The
ventrilloquist goes to heaven and the dummy goes to HELL!"

	Doesn't Springfield have ONE professional full-time fire
fighter?  In most towns Springfield's size, the cops and firemen have
a pretty spirited rivalry.  However, Wiggum is a volunteer fireman,
too?  And where's Mayor Quimby?

	Did you notice Snowball II licking him/herself in the
crotch?

	The animation on Marge got really weird and shabby at one
point -- I think it was when she was about to go to church with the
kids.  Her face was the wrong size.

	We got to see an awful lot of Bart with his "Sunday hairdo."
Cool!
