Trivia
The episode was written by Jon Vitti, who used the pseudonym "Penny Wise" in the closing credits because he did not want to be credited for writing a clip show. It was directed by David Silverman, who also did not want to be credited, and used the pseudonym "Pound Foolish" in the closing credits.

Quotes
Troy McClure: Yes, the Simpsons have come a long way since an old drunk made humans out of his rabbit characters to pay off his gambling debts. Who knows what adventures they'll have between now and the time the show becomes unprofitable?

Hit and Miss

This is more than a clips show, even though there are several. We get a look at the beginnings of the show with badly drawn characters with different voices. We also get a look at outtakes, some of which are pretty good. The creative team is made to look like a mob of psychos but what else could they be?
