There's no spoiler warning. Is that because the ep is non-Canon? It can still ruin it for people who haven't seen it. 151.151.73.167 22:54, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
"It should also be stressed that since this episode in obviously non-canon, the line shouldn't be taken seriously." As opposed to the canon, which, although it is just the result of thousands of seperate jokes, should be taken DEADLY seriously. Recury 20:57, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
"The audio from the scene was reanimated in Simpsons Tall Tales." The audio was reanimated? That doesn't make any sense. -- Loopus 06:41, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
This episode is not a clip show, as it was mentioned before in the beginning of the article. Examples of a clip show would include Another Simpsons Clip Show, for example, but I believe that this episode has 100% new material.
ok, rewatching it it's surely ain't all new, but i don't think it qualifies as a clip show. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.134.135.234 ( talk) 15:00, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
What makes this episode "non-canonical?" Because the article says so?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.229.129.134 ( talk • contribs)
There you go. -- Scorpion 0422 04:43, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
These are not merely a list of stated events on the show. They are a list of facts that are not necessarily apparent to viewers. That's what a trivia section is supposed to be. I've removed everything else. Equazcion 04:50, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
Scorpion,
After reading the BBC reference, I changed my mind about that item's notability, and removed the item. The episode was only the last aired because it was the last episode of the season.

The plot points I removed only state the trivia section list items, in list form -- only using different words and no bullet points. The facts are not integrated into the plot section at all. It's essentially a trivia section without the "Trivia" header.

Scorpion, I hope you'll try to do the actual work it takes to improve articles in the future, instead of taking the easy way out and simply removing sections that have issues. I mentioned a few times how you could get rid of the trivia section in accordance with Wikipedia guidelines, but you never once attempted to do it, so I finally did. You're welcome.

Just to clarify the change in location for reruns: It seems FOX changed the state to Missouri only for reruns occurring on that network. Most syndicated airings still have the Kentucky line. This is according to comments at the SNPP capsule.
uh what about the question mark on the dvd that plays about five or six different locations? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.22.163.48 ( talk) 11:10, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
Contrary to what was written the UK can [and does] award a Knighthood to a non-British subjects, such as former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani. 86.140.120.178 ( talk) 17:21, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
Did that actually occur though? I don't seen any links or sources that say Coleman did. Iamwisesun ( talk) 01:00, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
Regardless of Gary Coleman's knighthood or lack thereof, the statement in the article that only british subjects can be knighted has to go, as it is quite untrue. After all, prominent American knights include President Esienhower, a Knight of the Bath. LordShonus ( talk) 08:08, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
I took out the following line from the lead: "This is the last episode of The Simpsons to use uppercase closed-captioning." I can't imagine anyone who cares about that - it must be the least interesting piece of trivia I've seen anywhere on Wikipedia. Terraxos ( talk) 18:02, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
Is there a couch gag in the episode? When I watched it, the episode begin with the titlecard and cold opened to the narrator. -- .: Alex :. 15:47, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
how about meryl streep reference during oscar? w_tanoto ( talk) 05:09, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
Why is this episode listed as a clip show? It's definitely not. Andy Pipkin ( talk) 15:31, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
Can someone verify that Matt Groening was referring to "Taking Care of Christmas"? I believe this is an error because it quite clearly takes the instrumentation and style of "Boogie Oogie Oogie" by A Taste of Honey. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FEA8:2960:4E9:69E9:10FF:9966:ED76 ( talk) 23:19, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
