# Talk:Homer's Odyssey (The Simpsons)

Does Mr. Burns appear in Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire? I know that he speaks in that episode, but I don't remember if he actually appears until this one (Homer's Odyssey).  Can someone help me out? 12.73.228.239 00:38, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

Yes he tells everybody (via intercom) that there will be no Christmas bonus this year.--220.238.253.147 04:34, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

This article states that Homer becomes the Safety Inspector in this episode, and that his previous job was unkwon, however on or about 4:45, when the plant is going to blow Mr Burns asks Smither "My God 7-G whose the safety inspector there?" to which Smithers replies "Homer Simpson". Maybe it's just production oversight.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by SJrX10 (talk • contribs) 07:05, 23 November 2008 (UTC) 

"Also notable is that Marge was originally called Juliette in this script. The writers based it off of Romeo and Juliette." Are you sure this isn't a mistake? Or an in-joke from the staff during production? It makes no sense; why would Marge (who has been called Marge in the shorts and two previous episodes) suddenly undergo a name change in the script? This requires more clarification, because it really makes no sense right now. Gran2 11:24, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.
Is it well written?
A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct: 
Well done.
B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation: 
It wouldn't hurt to link "Smithers" in the Plot section, unless it doesn't have an article. In the Production section, "Romeo and Juliet" needs to be italicized, per here.

Thank you to LAAFan who got the stuff I left at the talk page, because I have gone off and placed the article as GA. Congrats. ;) --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 02:11, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Removed {{Good article}}.  The article does not meet criterion for Good article status. The plot section has no references.  Per good article criterion, good articles need to be "Factually accurate and verifiable: (a) it provides references to all sources of information in the section(s) dedicated to the attribution of these sources according to the guide to layout; 
An easy fail, a section that's entirely unreferenced. Northamerica1000 (talk) 11:48, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

Actually, the consensus these days are that a plot should not be referenced. We could easily provide references if needed. Anyway, you can't just remove the status of an article without going through GAR. --Maitch (talk) 11:50, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

When Homer wrights his suicide note, it's on a memo that says "Dumb Things I Gotta Do Today", a referance to They Might be Gaints's "Put Your Hands Inside the Puppet Head:  — Preceding unsigned comment added by MidnightCrisis (talk • contribs) 06:46, 10 March 2012 (UTC) 

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on Homer's Odyssey (The Simpsons). Please take a moment to review my edit.

Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
