Trivia
While the Simpsons are at the movie theater, a THX trailer is shown and the Deep Note literally blows the audience out of their seats, shattering an exit sign, eyeglasses, teeth, and someone's head even explodes. The THX executives liked that parody so much that the scene was made into an actual THX theatrical trailer.

Quotes
Homer: Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try.

He Had It All

Bart has a golden opportunity. Burns is looking for an heir and he ends up with the nastiest kid imaginable. That would be our friend Bart. We end up finding out more and more about Burns along the way and Bart must become just like him. But as tempting as all the goodies are, he finally realizes he can't lose his family. There's a funny homage to "A Christmas Carol." Also, an acting family copies the Simpsons.
