[edit] Possible reference in Supernatural
In the first season of Supernatural (TV Series) in the episode Something Wicked, the character Dean gives a list of towns that have been terrorized by a Shtriga. I am not devoted to the Simpsons enough to know for sure, but I believe the list was a reference to the list of towns who have built monorails in Marge vs. the Monorail. One of the towns mentioned is "West Haverbrook." Can anyone confirm or deny this? Andrewdoane 12:44, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
- interesting idea, but I can't add anything to that unfortunately Oreo man 16:05, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
- Well, the town mentioned in this episode is "North Haverbrook", so it could be a reference. Writers do enjoy that sort of thing.
[edit] is this a satire?
is this a satire of the las vegas/Bombardier monorail fiasco?
- No, it came earlier, just a satire against transit hucksters and gullible townsfolk. dml 14:00, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Disaster pictures
Notice how in the Trivia it tells of a picture of the Hindenburg? Well... right next to the Hindenburg behind a couple dancing you can see a picture of the WTC burning. Normally this would seem ireelevent to me, but the episode is from 1994 and the WTC fell in 2001. I must say, this is the scariest thing I've ever seen on the Simpsons.
- I don't think the picture is of the WTC. I think its just a random building on fire. -- Scorpion 17:51, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Weird
Has anyone noticed that during the opening of the monorail, when Kent Brockman is talking to celebrities and 'Kyle Darin' walks by. You can see what looks to be a.. I don't want to say younger.. but less bulky(?) Kent Brockman?

- Yeah, I've noticed him, but I don't see why it would be worthy of being mentioned in the article... -- Scorpion 06:41, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
- Surely that's Karl from Simpson and Delilah? Gran2 07:08, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
- I don't think so. The character is basically looks like an off model Kent Brockman. -- Scorpion 07:25, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Good Article Passed
I overall was very impressed with article on the whole. The only thing I can think of that could be improved would be the prose, which is a little bit less than brilliant. FireSpike 01:42, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
