Talk:The Simpsons shorts

message: This page would probably be a vauable one, if it were complete. I've made a base standard of the first episode. If all are happy with the format, I'll get to work on the rest of them later. And probably add more to the transcripts than just dialouge later. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 00:54, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Fixing up

message: Anybody know of any plans to release the shorts on DVD at all. Still haven't seen most of them (would you believe they were edited out of UK showings of The Tracy Ullman show as it was thought they wouldn't be popular in the UK! Probably by the same guy who turned The Beatles down for Decca in '62). Seems a shame that they're not generally available. Martyn Smith 19:47, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I am a big Simpsons fan so I downloaded the TV-rips of these episodes. I watch them on my DivX player (DVD player that plays AVIs basically). --GoOdCoNtEnT 20:14, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: On DVD

message: The article states that the Tracey Ullman Show shorts consisted of two separate series: The Simpsons, and Dr. N!Godatu.  However, I can't find any episode of Dr. N!Godatu contained in the list of shorts in this article, which makes the article more about the Simpsons shorts than about all of the shorts that aired.  Am I missing something here or is the article inaccurate/incomplete?  Can whoever added the episodes about the Simpsons (and therefore presumably has access to a list of all the shorts) please add the remainder of the shorts to the list, if there are any?  --DavidGC 09:11, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. This article is only about the Simpsons. Therefore I moved the article to reflect that. Someone could start another page called List of Dr. N!Godatu shorts or something. --Maitch 16:20, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dr. N!Godatu? 

message: I have reverted an edit by User:BakerBaker, because it was unsourced and had peacock terms. The whole back story to why only one clip was released on the season one DVD is fascinating and it should be included, but I need a reference to a source in order to put it back in the article. 
The reverted text is shown below. --Maitch 21:54, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  DVD releases 

message: I downloaded the entire shorts series of the Simpsons, and I noticed that "What Maggie's Thinking" is called "Maggie's Brain" at the end of that particular one. There are also conflicting titles in different sources, such as "Dinnertime" being "Eating Dinner" on some websites. I'm wondering, does Wikipedia have the official names? 208.101.173.66 17:47, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The names on this list are taken from the official guide book. --Maitch 21:09, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There are numerous errors in the Complete Guide books. As usual, The Simpsons Archive is more accurate. (The Complete Guide mistakes are also listed there).  Scott 21:13, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Correct Titles? 

message: I'm not sure, but I believe that Marge is never actually named throughout the shorts. Am I correct, and if so, is this worth mentioning? IceKeyHunter 05:09, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I disagree. None of these shorts, except Good Night, pass WP:EPISODE. -- Scorpion0422 19:52, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

text: I'll have a look at WP:EPISODE and see if I can get any of the other episodes individual articles. --T.M.M. Dowd (talk) 10:52, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Articles for shorts 

message: Excuse me, but i'm a little confused. IMDB lists there being shorts that aired on the show in 1990. Were there season 3 shorts that were left unaired until later? NitroMan3941 (talk) 02:21, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, i guess these weren't Simpsons shorts like i thought. (I thought at first Homer's credit meant it involved the Simpson Family) NitroMan3941 (talk) 02:06, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  1990 

message: I think this page should be merged with List of The Simpsons episodes.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.23.53.68 (talk) 18:49, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Why? The shorts are different from the series. Also, the main list is already rather long, and this one uses a different table format, so combining the two would mean a long and inconsistantly formatted list. -- Scorpion0422 19:15, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
