How?[edit]

ali/anti lock brakes.[edit]

out of curiosity, isn't the reference to muhammad ali and anti lock brakes a reference to ali and foreman, the latter of whom is now spokesman for midas? 72.128.213.48 03:32, 15 August 2007 (UTC)August 14, 2007[reply]

Caterpillar?[edit]

When the show pans over the audience right before Homer's execution, it focuses on a little caterpillar that laughs a little evil laugh. Who is that little bugger?! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.63.50.187 (talk) 00:30, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Clearly you haven't seen the whole episode. It was for injuring the caterpillar that Homer was doing community service in the first place, which is how he met Mrs Bellamy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.146.55.102 (talk) 13:20, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Game?[edit]

Wouldn't it be useful to also point out that this episode is basically a parody of "The Game"? Or is that left out because it might spoil the episode or that movie?

It isn't listed probably due to a lack of a reliable source verifying your claim. Note Wikipedia:Spoiler and Wikipedia:No disclaimers in articles, we don't use notes saying "plot spoiler" or similar. CTJF83 11:51, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Review will be coming very shortly. Thanks That Ole Cheesy Dude ^{(Talk to the hand!)} 10:36, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In Production, the whole start to the second paragraph is unreferenced, please ref it up.

Not at all! It's just that all that text uses the same ref, (ref 1) so reffing each sentence or whatever would be rather redundant.

That's the only thing I could find in the entire article that could be faulted, this is fantastic work.

Thanks! :D

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
As I've said, I couldn't find one single spelling error or poorly structured sentence... and that's my specialty.
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): (citations to reliable sources): (OR):
Perfic'.
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): (focused):
Perfic'
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
Perfic'.
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
Perfic'.
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

That was the best Good Article Nom I've ever reviewed. Good job to the nominator!! Just one tiny thing to do and it's through.

Wow, thanks! And thanks for the review! I think it's pretty much good to go, unless you have found some other concern? :) Queenieacoustic (talk)
