Talk:Miracle on Evergreen Terrace

message: I could be wrong, but I wonder if the scene towards the beginning, with the family standing outside as Homer plugs in the lights, is a reference to National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. The staging is similar, as is how Homer plugs in the light. Plus - he's plugging in house lights, albeit, done in a typical half-assed Homer style!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.70.148.57 (talk) 17:02, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Lard of the Dance

message: I found this about why it aired during the Summer:
"This early premiere date is likely to have two positive effects for viewers. First, it will give them a chance to quickly reject the mediocre sitcom "Holding the Baby," which makes its debut at 6:30 p.m. Sunday (on WRSP Channel 55). Second, it will allow "That '70s Show," whose first two episodes hint strongly that it is the best new comedy of the season, to gather a following several weeks before the other networks unveil their new offerings. "That '70s Show" has inherited the post-"Simpsons" time slot at 7:30 p.m. Sundays. 
Before delving into the content of the two new Sunday night shows, a word about Fox's Sunday-night strategy: The network in 1994 grabbed the National Football League away from CBS and ever since then has made an annual ritual of unveiling new shows that, it says, will become huge hits based on the strong "lead-in" audience from football.

message: Should it really count as "cultural" reference, when a series references itself? To me that seems to be the start of a slippery slope, where in the end every time a minor supporting character (i.e. a character that does appear only very infrequenty) makes an appearance it needs to be put in the cultural reference category. An Example that comes to mind would be the various references to Frank Grimes throughout various episodes.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.205.107.79 (talk) 02:28, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Mayored to the Mob

message: I recently listened to the commentary for the episode, and I think this production section does not do it justice. There are a lot of things that could be discussed, such as Hammill being a long-time fan of the show and how he also got to being the voice of the bodyguard, they discuss the rat milking scene, and there is a mistake. Leavalle wasn't inspired by Jack Ruby, his design was inspired by this photo of a bodyguard when Oswald was shot by Jack Ruby. You need to start including more details and try to have some flow to the sections. For example, start out with writing, then transition into guest stars. Then have a new paragraph for animation notes. And the episode was named the best of the season by IGN. This should be mentioned-- Scorpion0422 02:42, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

message: "Overall, the episode was received well by critics, earning a Nielsen rating of 8.5."
The Nielsen rating is an audience rating, not a critic rating.  IMO it should not be here.  But it most especially should not be incorrectly cited as a critic rating.  If there *IS* a Nielsen rating just for critics, that is great, but I have never heard of it, and the linky does not take me to it.  I just noticed that my change was reverted out, and that the reverting editor said that only critic ratings were cited here.  That seems not to be the case, which was why I made the change.  sinneed (talk) 15:54, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Wait, why is it ratings shouldn't be included? The number of viewers that watched the episode is very relevant. As well, you seem to have a mistaken view on what thew Nielsen ratings are. They measure the amount of viewers, not their opinions of the episode.

message: Why does the article keep saying that Focusyn is a parody of Ritalin? In the episode, Focusyn is described as a new, experimental, and not particularly safe drug, in contrast to the old and fairly well understood (and, while not without potentially serious side effects, relatively safe) Ritalin. In fact, at the end of the episode when Bart's been taken off of Focusyn, he's switched onto (I may be slightly misremembering the words used to describe it, but as far as I recall) "good old-fashioned Ritalin". This makes me question the article's assertion that Focusyn is a parody of Ritalin specifically, rather than a general parody of either psychostimulant drugs or new, very experimental drugs.
