# Talk:Lisa's Pony

There was a rather obvious bit of recycled footage while homer's asleep at work... Lisa calls him up to tell him she loves him, and she's in her robe on the couch with mumps from the 'lisa gets mumps and knits a quilt which the dog destroys making him have to go to obedience school' episode, whichever one that was. Not only is Lisa randomly sick, but Homer's shoes are red and white tennis shoes (because in the original episode the dog had chewed up his expensive new sneakers) while earlier in the non-recycled-footage part of this episode Homer was wearing his regular shoes (he checks them for Lisa's reed-size)

I just wanted to point out, for those who know more about it than I, that the original airing of this show had a different song playing for Homer's dreaming while driving sequence than the one that it has in the DVD and reruns. I really wish someone would add the original song, and the current songs information. Perhaps even find out the behind the scenes intrigue as to why it was changed to begin with (as the first was far superior to the current).

This review is transcluded from Talk:Lisa's Pony/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.
Hello, I will be reviewing this article. 

"Lisa likes ponies, we [should] give her a pony." - Cite please. --Edge3 (talk) 23:53, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
Done.
How exactly did you get the quote? Did you just type in what you heard in the DVD?--Edge3 (talk) 17:47, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
Yes, Jean said on the DVD commentary that he told Reiss that exact quote. Theleftorium 18:31, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
Since the quote was spoken and not written, I've fixed the punctuation. --Edge3 (talk) 18:48, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
Thanks. Is there anything else that needs to be fixed? Theleftorium 18:54, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
I'll take a second look at the article. --Edge3 (talk) 23:12, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
Please take a look at the online sources too to make sure there isn't any OR in the article. Theleftorium 23:18, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
They looked ok when I first checked them, but I can look at them a bit closer as well. --Edge3 (talk) 23:26, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
I rechecked all of your online sources. Everything looks ok. --Edge3 (talk) 04:55, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
"The woman who sells the pony to Homer is based on actress Katharine Hepburn." - Seems more appropriate in the Cultural references section. --Edge3 (talk) 00:05, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
I think it fits better in the production section because that paragraph is about voice actors and it mentions that Tress MacNeille voiced the character.
"In a home movie..." - Which part of the episode is the home movie shown in? --Edge3 (talk) 00:47, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
Done.
"...praised the 'nice flashbacks to Lisa as a baby.'" - This was never mentioned in the plot. Would you please add it in?--Edge3 (talk) 00:57, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
This is mentioned in the cultural references section. I don't think it's important enough to be mentioned in the plot section. Theleftorium 13:05, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
"In this episode, Homer inadvertently..." - Was it really inadvertent? The plot summary doesn't seem to support this. Did Homer go to the bar because he just forgot about the reed?--Edge3 (talk) 23:33, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
Removed "inadvertently". Not needed. Theleftorium 23:35, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
"The authors of the book I Can't Believe It's a Bigger and Better Updated Unofficial Simpsons Guide, Warren Martyn and Adrian Wood, called the episode 'good stuff' and praised the 'nice flashbacks to Lisa as a baby.'" - Not supported by citation. --Edge3 (talk) 23:45, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
Which part of the sentence? Theleftorium 23:48, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
Sorry, I didn't realize that BBC was taking info from the book. Nevermind. --Edge3 (talk) 23:56, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
"Since airing, the episode has received mostly positive reviews from television critics." - Seems like WP:OR to me. --Edge3 (talk) 00:02, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
Removed "mostly". The sentence is now a summary of the Reception section. Theleftorium 00:09, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
"with the exception of Lunchlady Doris who returned on The Simpsons in the episode 'The Mook, the Chef, the Wife and Her Homer'" - This is going to need a citation. --Edge3 (talk) 00:27, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
Fixed. Theleftorium 10:04, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
Thank you for reviewing! :) Theleftorium 13:05, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

I'm going to keep this review open until I get a messge from Ottava Rima. I hope you don't mind having to wait a bit longer. --Edge3 (talk) 14:36, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
Image copyrights appear to check out. Many of the references are quoted, so there are no problems. Reception contains a large variety and is thus neutral. Notability is clearly established. Many of the references are from the commentary, and are primary source - there is enough in reception to make it notable, so primary source is not a concern. The commentary would have to be taken on good faith, unless someone owns a copy to verify. There doesn't seem anything that would prevent this from passing. Ottava Rima (talk) 20:38, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
I agree. I'm now passing the article. --Edge3 (talk) 23:17, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
