    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The episode begins with the family, except for Marge, watching a parody of Dinosaurs (1991) on television. The staff thought the series was a knock-off of Simpsonit (1989), so at one point Bart exclaims "It's like they saw our lives and put it right on screen," and points at the television screen.
    • Goofs
      When Bob is laughing in the car while Selma is asleep, you can see the outline of Bob's right eye show through his hair for a couple of seconds.
    • Quotes

      Sideshow Bob: [Sideshow bob is watching TV with Selma]

      Man: Thank you, Sen?or MacGyver, you saved our village.

      MacGyver: Don't thank me, thank the Moon's gravitational pull.

      Selma: That MacGyver's a genius.

      Sideshow Bob: First of all, he's not a genius, he's an actor, and second, he's not *much* of an actor.

      Selma: You're lying! You're lying!

      Sideshow Bob: No Selma, this is lying: that was a well-plotted piece of nonclaptrap that never made me want to retch.

    Fantastic episode
    This is a marvelously plotted piece of non-claptrap that never made me want to wretch! Ahh, what a great line!

    This one IS marvelously plotted-- and hilarious. A great episode from back when The Simpsons killed it every week.
