    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The idea behind the Itchy & Scratchy cartoons is nothing more than an "extremely violent" version of the old Tom & Jerry cartoons. Their names however were inspired by Pixie & Dixie, a backup feature on The Huckleberry Hound Show (1958). Pixie & Dixie were mice who were "the best of friends" and always overcame Mr. Jinx the Cat.
    • Goofs
      Homer's description of Krusty to the police sketch artist isn't even right, even saying he has red hair, yet the artist comes up with a completely accurate image of Krusty.
    • Quotes

      Krusty the Clown: Hand over all your money in a paper bag!

      Apu: Yes, yes, I know the procedure for armed robbery. I do work in a convenience store, you know.

    Not my personal favourite from Series One, but it's still a classy episode
    I can't agree with those saying that this is the best of S1, because there are so many good episodes from this year, and I preferred others.

    It is though a very good episode, with lots of good moments, and marks the proper introduction of Krusty and Sideshow Bob, voiced brilliantly for the first time by Kelsey Grammer.
