I watched this a few weeks ago and they had edited out all references to the WTC. They didn't have Homer go to one tower, then the other, for instance.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.16.225.228 ( talk • contribs)
Does anyone know if this episode will be in its original form on the DVD? I wanna know 'cause it would bug me it's altered. Zidane4028 19:23, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
Usually, when this episode is edited, references to stereotypes, violence, and New York are entirely removed. I've seen this episode on Channel 4 (UK channel) and they removed the following lines:
Grampa: Once we filled the head with garbage Marge: If you only focus on the Pimps and the C.H.U.D.S (old lade in lift): Well, I certainly hope someone stabs him in the eye
And of course, the infamous "They stick all the jerks in Tower 1".
It's sad, really. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Keshidragon ( talk • contribs) 07:38, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
I don't know what's the generally accepted format for articles on TV show episodes, but I'm questioning whether it's encyclopedic to have those gigantic lists of quotes for each episode. It just strikes me more as something from a fansite than it does an encyclopedia article. And isn't this exactly what Wikiquote is for anyway? -- Foot Dragoon 01:32, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
"In the final scene the Simpsons are seen driving across the Brooklyn Bridge. Which is a bridge that connects Long Island to Manhattan Island. Indicating that Springfield would be located on Long Island, which does not seem likely."
well, it seems that the ending confused someone, they were on their way out of new york to long island to the US mainland to travel back to springfield....or am i wrong here?
What is the name of the song during the flashback?
Is it just me or does this bad piece of fan made art should just be removed. It does not add anything to the article and it is of poor quality.
I'm sorry, it was not "only added because somebody tried to create a Crab juice page, which was deleted". The image meets all WP:Images criteria, including:
Regarding quality, it is a replica of the screen shot. (Placing the screen shot here would violate copyright law.) Please pop the episode into your DVD and pause when Homer is getting ready to drink the can. You'll see that the image is virtually identical to the animation. I suggest doing research before making comments and edits like this. Or, make your own rendering, if you can do better - that would be welcomed too.
Regarding the article, there is a tenet that every page should have at least one illustration. See for example [1] and How to Tell a Story: The Secrets of Writing Captivating Tales by Peter Rubie ( ISBN 0898798094). Thank you! Gekritzl 11:45, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
Oh, and please sign your comments if you wish to be taken seriously. The first comment in this section, as unsigned, should be "stricken from the record" (if this were a court room) as it could be a sock puppet. Gekritzl 11:45, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
OK, the original quote from this episode of The Simpsons, was: Homer, desperately hungry, sees the guy at the stall. After eating Klavkalash (spelling?) he was thirsty, and the drinks he had were " Mountain Dew or Crab Juice" and Homer looks disgusted. The joke was that he was disgusted by Mountain Dew, so he takes the Crab Juice. This is probably where the confusion came from. Keshidragon ( talk) 07:44, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
Where does Homer mutter the MF word? Does he even do it? I've seen the episode a million times and haven't heard it.. then again I've never really listened ;P 202.126.97.233 08:22, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Image:The Simpsons (1997).jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

The guy sitting behind Homer on the bus is the tall guy from "22 Short Films About Springfield". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.124.116.101 ( talk) 10:16, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
For me, "received" -- an active verb -- implies what is grammatically termed the recipient or even, IIRC, the patient, of the action, and there's nothing grammatically wrong with that. Nevertheless, psychologically, receiving reeks too much of taking notice of, accepting, maybe even regretting or protesting the documents, when it isn't even accepting or noticing it. That grammatical convention is a vestigial metaphor whose tiny itch can be avoided, e.g. with any of a number of more explicitly passive voice, even if I haven't nailed the ideal construction or nuance. I'm not arguing for any specific verb or construction, but for more effort at crediting the car with any hint of acting, knowing, or caring. A fine point, yes, but IMO an insignificantly distracting one.
