• The prank in the beginning, with the unscrewing, is taken from a novel, but I can't remember which. It might have been The Chocolate War or Beyond The Chocolate War. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.227.142.171 ( talk) 12:24, 26 August 2009 (UTC) reply

The FOX on Demand episode title is listed as "The Good, The Bad And The Drugly," not "Sad," but the show recap on thesimpsons.com has it listed as "Sad". Which one is the official title? Inks.LWC ( talk) 04:04, 3 May 2009 (UTC) reply

I think it's still "The Good, The Sad, And The Drugly", as thesimpsons.com is the official website, while Fox only airs the episodes (so the official website would have the correct information, after all the creators are the ones who title the episodes).
