[edit] older entries

Given the production schedule of the episodes and the fact that they're ready some time in advance of screening, would there *really* have been enough time in one week for the production team to have been able to "respond to the complaints" of the residents of New Orleans and prepare the apologetic blackboard joke for the next episode? I accept that this is a stock piece of footage that they probably *could* insert a new gag into at quite short notice, but I was wondering if anybody had a definite source for this?

Absolutely, yes. The Simpsons DVD commentaries explain that the blackboard jokes can be placed in up to a few days before airing, and in fact the commentary for the next episode explicitly says that's what they did. Tilgrieog 07:18, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

That answers that then. Cheers! Angmering 19:37, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Why was it controversial? New Orleans IS like that, and if they don't like it they should change.. and there's an easy excuse to make, too, that the musical explicitly takes place a long time ago, when, let's admit it, most big cities were pretty screwed up.

Have a listen to the commentary, they were saying that some guys from orleans called them up and threatened to kill bart when he came to orleans for a festival. --Simpsons fan 66 00:17, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GA pass

I've been watching Scorpio build the article and it is most wonderfully comprehensive. Kudos for weaving in the Maggie sub-plot, rather than just giving it a paragraph to itself as a "sub-plot". Alientraveller 14:07, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Emmy

I'm back now, and I remember hearing in one of the commentaries that this episode was submitted for the Emmy in the normal comedy category. In fact, the List of awards won by The Simpsons says that too. I think it MIGHT be mentioned on the Mr. Plow commentary, so I'll listen to that. Also, great work on the page, it is close to FA, the controversy and reception sections need a little expansion and I think we'll be there. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 18:52, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:AStreetCarNamedMargeImage.jpg

Image:AStreetCarNamedMargeImage.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.
