| Trivia | After Phil Hartman was murdered, the various characters he played, such as lawyer Lionel Hutz and actor Troy McClure, were retired, rather than re-cast. However, they continued to appear silently in crowd scenes. Season ten, episode three, "Bart the Mother" (September 27, 1998) was his final voice performance. See more » |
| Goofs | Ralph Wiggum is in Bart's class in some episodes and Lisa's in others. The same can be said about a few other recurring students. See more » |
