    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Marks the first time in ten years that actress Pamela Reed voices the character of Ruth. This is the longest lapse in time a guest actor has gone without performing the voice of a character, despite the fact she is seen in many episodes since her first appearance.
    • Goofs
      During the competition right after the woman smashes the piano, she says "Support the arts!" There is no lip sync, though; her mouth simply opens.
    • Quotes

      Marge Simpson: [Stuck in the basement due to agoraphobia] What to do now? Too crazy to go outside; not crazy enough to have imaginary friends.

    • Connections
      Edited from The Simpsons: Flaming Moe's (1991)

    Carolyn Omine episode.
    This episode has some good jokes, but the plot is weak and the script does not have a good structure.

    The episodes written by Carolyn Omine are among the funniest of the modern Simpsons, though also somewhat weak.
