"'''Bart of Darkness'''" is the first episode of [[Season 6]]. It aired on September 4, 1994. The episode was written by [[Dan McGrath]] and directed by [[Jim Reardon]]. The episode is an obvious parody of Alfred Hitchcock's movie ''[[wikipedia:Rear Window|Rear Window]]''.

== Synopsis ==
After breaking his leg, [[Bart]] spends the Summer at his bedroom window, spying on the neighbors with a telescope. Bart finds the view boring until he sees [[Ned Flanders]] murdering his wife.

== Plot ==
At the start of a very hot summer vacation, the Simpsons' fridge breaks after a failed attempt to beat the heat. Fortunately, Otto comes to their salvation with the [[Springfield Pool-Mobile]]. Bart and Lisa and the rest of the neighborhood kids enjoy the pool time until Otto tells them that their time is up and that the city doesn't have enough money in the budget to come back. Upon hearing this, Bart and Lisa convince Homer, rather easily, to buy them a pool. The Simpsons buy a pool kit from [[Pool Sharks]]. On their first try, they mistakenly build a barn instead of a pool, which an [[Amish man]] admires, but which frustrates the family because they still can't go swimming. On the second try, the Simpsons build a proper pool and suddenly Bart and Lisa become the most popular kids in the neighborhood. All the kids at Springfield Elementary, as well as kids they don't know (and who also don't know them), show up at the Simpsons house every day to swim. However, when Bart is dared to jump from his treehouse into the pool, he gets distracted by Nelson ("Your ''epidermis'' is showing!") and falls and breaks his leg. Bart is forced to stay indoors with a cast on his leg while Lisa enjoys her newfound popularity with the other kids swimming in their pool. Marge and Lisa soon take notice that Bart is becoming isolated and weird. To suppress Bart's sudden paranoia, Lisa gives Bart her telescope for something to do. He first comes to the conclusion that the universe is boring and instead uses the telescope to spy on Springfield residents. He finds nothing even remotely interesting to spy on, until he hears a female scream and spots Ned Flanders burying something in his backyard.

After hearing a conversation between Ned and Rod and Todd, Bart thinks that Ned will kill them too. When Lisa becomes unpopular again when Martin Prince sets up a better pool in his backyard, Bart convinces Lisa to sneak into Flanders's house and snoop around for evidence. However, Bart sees Ned coming into his house with an axe. Certain that Ned intends to kill Lisa, Bart tries to call 911, but only gets an answer from an automated recording. Bart decides to save Lisa on his own and struggles to get down the stairs and out the door, encountering many setbacks on the way to Ned's house. Meanwhile, Lisa becomes aware that Ned has returned home and is carrying an axe. She hides in the attic and Ned follows her. Bart arrives just in time for Ned to put the axe on a mount on the wall. He is dumbfounded when he sees Bart, who demands to know why he killed his wife. Ned is shocked to hear Bart say that he murdered his wife and passes out.

The police arrive to the scene with both families, including Maude. Maude explains that she was actually at Bible camp for a week, learning how to be more judgmental. When Bart asks Ned about the "murder" that he saw, Ned breaks down and says that he accidentally overwatered Maude's favorite ficus plant, panicked, and then buried the remains; he had planned on replacing it before Maude got home. Bart then asks about the woman that he heard scream, and Ned says that he can't explain that. When Lou digs up Maude's dead ficus, Ned lets out a shrill-like scream. Bart then concludes that everything is normal.

Meanwhile at Martin's house, his pool becomes too overcrowded and bursts. Everyone leaves and Martin becomes unpopular again. Before the credits role, Nelson snatches his bathing suit off.

== Production ==
Dan McGrath wrote the episode and Jim Reardon directed. Originally produced and planned to air as part of [[Season 5]], this plan fell through when the Film Roman studio (who animate the show) was damaged in Northridge earthquake of 1994. Because of this, the writers and animators had to move to a temporary studio, which delayed production. The episode was later broadcast as part of [[Season 6]].

It should be noted that Ned Flanders' (rather feminine) scream was performed by voice actress Tress MacNeille and not his regular voice actor Harry Shearer - one of the few times in the series where such a thing has happened.

== Reception ==
{{Images|ep=yes}}
The episode received positive reviews from critics and was generally named "a great start to the season". Warren Martyn and Adrian Wood, authors of the book I Can't Believe It's a Bigger and Better Updated Unofficial Simpsons Guide, called it a "fine episode" and found that the "eventual explanation for [Flanders' murderous behavior is hilarious."

This forum is a vote about what to do with the last remaining member of the Simpsons Wiki Alliance, [[UnSimpsons Wiki]]. As you already know this wiki is a humour wiki based on the Simpsons. So should we create a new wiki, merge or leave inactive.

== New wiki ==
An entirely new wiki like Simpsons Fanon. Domain will probably be humor.simpsonswiki.net.

=== Support ===

=== Discussion ===

== Merge ==
Merge into Wikisimpsons with a new namespace probably Humor:.

=== Support ===

=== Discussion ===

== Leave Inactive ==
Leave on Shoutwiki and declare inactive. Possibly email the staff to ask then to delete the wiki.

Wikisimpsons:Vote to move

2011-05-09T15:14:38Z

George: question about Silver Knight's reasoning

This is the official vote to move. The discussion is [[Forum:Vote to move to independence|here]]. It is reccommended that you read the whole discussion before voting as it will give you a better idea for what you're voting for.

The vote is a simple yes or no vote. No neutral votes as that will complicate things. This is an important decision to make and should not be made lightly.

If the decision passes, a notice will be left on the wiki for a couple of weeks to say that we have moved. If the decision to move doesn't go through, nothing will change.

All users are welcome to vote, whether you are a frequent editor or just a reader. This will be a big change and should not be taken lightly.

You do not have to explain your vote, that was done in the discussion topic. Just sign under the heading.

The vote will be open for at least a week. I will try and hold it open until every active contributor has voted. However, it will close after two weeks if that doesn't happen.

If the vote doesn't go your way, we hope you choose to stick with the wiki regardless of the outcome. Every contributor helps.

== Support the Move (8) ==

#[[User:AleWi|AleWi]] 09:00, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

== Oppose the Move (2) ==
#For the following reasons: being part of a wikifarm with shared logins encourages more users, and thus more content -- rather than a wiki in solitude; ShoutWiki will learn from their recent mistake, and implement more safety measures; the argument concerning search results is invalid -- Wikia will always be larger than one individual wiki, and thus search results for it will be shown above a independent wiki; I feel this vote for independence has been driven by the frustration felt when the website was down, and therefore is just the spark of the moment for the majority of people; I feel that people are simply agreeing with Solar Dragon for the sake of being Little Sir Echoes. --[[User:George|George]] 10:43, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

==Comment from Escyos==
Had to say something: Your quote - ''Wikia will always be larger than one individual wiki, and thus search results for it will be shown above a independent wiki'''. Site size does not determine rank, it is determined by the number of clicks FROM the search engine to the site based on what was searched for, I search and click on my site three times a day and it drives up the rank each time. Plus google ranks can be driven up with proper coding. [[User:Escyos|Escyos]] 12:50, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

'''Coming to Homerica''' is the twenty-first and final episode of [[Season 20]]. It aired on May 17, 2009.

== Synopsis ==

[[Ogdenville]]'s economy takes a tumble after tainted barley is discovered in [[Krusty the Clown|Krusty]]'s veggie burgers and the unemployed of Ogdenville flock to [[Springfield]]. When [[Mayor Quimby]] closes off the town's borders and enlists private citizens to help patrol them, [[Homer]] puts together a border patrol group.

== Plot ==
[[File:Chief Wiggum catching an Ogdenvillian.png|left|thumb|Chief Wiggum trying to catch an Ogdenvillian, who sneaks into Springfield]]
Krusty Burger is proclaimed to serve the unhealthiest fast food in the country, so Krusty decides that his namesake restaurant should serve the "Mother Nature Burger," which is entirely vegetarian. Although the Springfield townsfolk initially devour the burgers, they soon fall ill with food poisoning. The illness is traced to tainted barley, which was grown in the neighboring town of Ogdenville. The residents of Ogdenville, who are descended from Norwegian settlers, are forced to abandon their town and seek employment in Springfield.

The residents of Springfield are initially hospitable to the displaced Ogdenvillians, and hire them as day laborers. Homer hires several Ogdenvillians to fix his roof, Marge hires a nanny named [[Inga (Coming to Homerica)|Inga]] to care for Bart, Lisa and Maggie, and Selma finds love with Thorbjørn, a brawny blond. Meanwhile, Bart wishes to establish his reputation as a star skateboarder after seeing a teenager from Ogdenville show off. While Bart's skateboard stunt is executed perfectly, it ends abruptly when he crashes into the side of a school bus and hurts his arm. Homer and Marge rush him to the hospital, but tension builds when they are forced to wait for hours because the waiting room is full of patients from Ogdenville. Furious, Marge, Homer and Bart return home, where Marge fixes Bart's arm herself. Homer storms off to Moe's Tavern, only to discover that Moe is serving aquavit and the bar is full of Ogdenvillians. Homer demands a mug of aquavit, unaware of its alcohol content, is instantly intoxicated, and subsequently loses his job at the nuclear power plant when he arrives at work drunk.

Mayor Quimby calls a town meeting, where it is decided that the Springfield border should be closed to residents of Ogdenville. Chief Wiggum and fellow officer Lou are unable to control the border themselves, so they distribute guns and beer to a group of vigilantes, among them Homer, Lenny and Carl. The group decides on the name "Star-Spangled Goofballs," and after several failed attempts to keep Ogdenvillians out of Springfield, decide to build a wall. At first, Marge believes the wall contradicts the values of tolerance that she taught their children, but changes her mind when Maggie utters the Norwegian word "ja" (meaning "yes"). The residents of Springfield begin building a massive wall and hire workers from Ogdenville to assist with its construction. As the building progresses, the residents of both communities discover that their similarities outweigh their differences. Once the wall is complete, the residents of both communities realize that they miss their neighbors, so the Ogdenvillians come back through a door they built in the wall to join a Springfield party.

== Reception ==

'''Nibbles''' is a class pet at [[Springfield Elementary School]].

== History ==
[[File:Nibbles-Skinner.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Nibbles returns from his rescue attempt.]][[File:NibblesGoodbye.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Astronaut Nibbles says goodbye to his wife.]]Nibbles was first seen at the school on a very snowy day when the only people who came to school were [[Principal Skinner]], [[Groundskeeper Willie]] and barely enough students to fill one classroom. They ended up getting snowed in when the snow continued. The students rebelled against Principal Skinner, tied him up in a dodgeball sack and took charge of the school. Seeking help, Skinner put Nibbles and a note asking for help into the hamster's exercise ball and pushed it out the window. The rescue attempt appeared doomed for failure as Nibbles only got a few yards away from the school before falling through the snow.

Nibbles did make it out, however, and ended up saving [[Homer]] and [[Ned]] who had tried to drive to the school to rescue the kids. Ned's car had hit a fire hydrant and gotten stuck in the ice, and its interior was filling up with exhaust fumes. Homer and Ned were about to suffocate when Nibbles (still in his exercise ball) crashed through the windshield, bringing them some life-saving fresh air. The ice then thawed out and Homer and Ned drove on. They ended up freeing the snowbound school (albeit accidentally) when they hit a silo of cracker salt and knocked it over, which spilled the salt, which in turn melted most of the snow. Still in the exercise ball, Nibbles rolled up to Skinner, who was still tied up in the dodgeball bag. Skinner congratulated Nibbles for bringing back help, and then asked him to "chew through my ball sack", to which Nibbles' only response was to stare quizzically at Skinner.<ref>"[[Skinner's Sense of Snow]]"</ref>

Homer later pressed Nibbles into service as an astronaut to fly a sophisticated model rocket that the nerd trio of [[Benjamin]], [[Doug (nerd)|Doug]] and [[Gary]] had built for him. Before making the flight, Nibbles said goodbye to his wife and five babies (she had already eaten three). During the flight, the rocket went off course. Homer radioed a set of instructions to Nibbles to put the rocket back on course, but Nibbles ejected from the rocket instead of following the instructions. As Nibbles parachuted to safety, the rocket went completely out of control and eventually crashed into the [[First Church of Springfield]].<ref>"[[She of Little Faith]]"</ref>

'''The Geek Shall Inherit the Earth''' is a comic story in [[Simpsons Comics 36]]. After being thrown out of the university, [[Doug (nerd)|Doug]], [[Gary]] and [[Benjamin]] move to the [[742 Evergreen Terrace|Simpsons house]] and create a video game that makes them earn a lot of money.

== Plot ==
The dean of the university (dressed as [[God]] for a costume contest) throws Doug, Gary and Benjamin out because they had already graduated last year. They can't go to the [[Springfield Natural History Museum|Natural History Museum]], nor the [[Kwik-E-Mart]], nor the [[Springfield Public Library|public library]], but find a place at the [[Android's Dungeon]]. During a convention there, some nerds mistake Gerald as Urkel and chase him. They hide in [[Homer]]'s car, but he forgets them and releases them one week later.

He allows them to live in their home. They place their computers at the basement and spent all say there, while [[Bart]] studies them to give [[Nelson]] information about nerds. They are creating a violent video game in which the playable character resembles Homer (he looks like him and can strangle enemies). Bart accidentally sends the video game all over the internet, but people loves it like that and it soon becomes a success. The nerds have hired [[Lionel Hutz]] to invest their money on some projects. Doug has an interview with [[Troy McClure]] and, after showing him his mansion, he tells him he wants to produce the best sci-fiction movie ever. At the [[Springfield Nuclear Power Plant|power plant]], [[Mr. Burns]] tells Gary he wants to invest his money on a computer. [[Professor Frink]] tells Benjamin he wants the money to make a comestible car. Meanwhile, at [[Moe's Tavern]], a man who has tied [[Moe]] under the floor tries to convince Homer to sell him the nerds company. Troy's and Doug's movie is premièring at the [[Aztec Theater]], but everyone hates it because it doesn't have sound and the spaceships are toos low (according to Doug, there is no sound at space and it is impossible to travel at the speed of light without opening a wormhole), so it becomes a failure. Professor Frink's and Benjamin's car now has a windshield that makes people look 500 times more good-looking. However, Frink's calculations don't seem to make sense, and that's because his sciense is based on faith and not physical laws, so the laboratory is destroyed. Mr. Burns' and Gary's computer is ruined too when Mr. Burns touches it and short-circuits it because of his radiation. At Moe's Tavern, Homer goes to the bathroom, and when he comes back, he discovers [[Barney]] sold the company to that man.

The nerds company is over, but at least they go back to the university and bought a triple-creamed [[Krusty]] cookie for Homer with what was left of the money.

Nuclear physics professor

|image = [[File:Prof.jpg|250px]]

}}

The unnamed '''Nuclear Physics Professor''' teaches Nuclear Physics at [[Springfield University]]. From his accent, he seems to be of German origin.

[[Homer]] is required to take training in nuclear physics after [[Nuclear Inspectors|inspectors]] from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission conduct a surprise evaluation at the [[Springfield Nuclear Power Plant|nuclear plant]] and Homer mysteriously manages to cause a meltdown even though the simulator in the inspectors' [[Nuclear Inspection Van|van]] doesn't have any nuclear material in it. The inspectors determine that Homer is dangerously underqualified for his own job, and [[Mr. Burns]] isn't able to bribe his way out of the situation. Burns is able, however, to pull some strings and get Homer admitted to Springfield University, where he enrolls in Nuclear Physics 101.

The Professor has apparently taught the class at least once before Homer takes it, as he says that there are a few new faces in the class and jokingly says, "Out with the old, in with the nucleus." (Everyone except Homer gets the joke.) The Professor is shown as being very knowledgeable about the subject matter he teaches, and also very patient as an instructor: He's willing to go the extra mile to make sure his students learn the material. For example, after class the Professor holds extended review sessions on the day's lecture. While the extra sessions aren't required, they are very helpful, so the Professor advises everyone to participate.

The Professor's only flaw is that he's prone to occasional clumsiness, as seen when he drops his lecture note cards on the first day of class. Homer, who previously missed the "in with the nucleus" joke, finds the Professor's dropping his notes to be hysterically funny, and laughs uproariously at the Professor, shocking the rest of the class. Homer also loudly announces that he's blowing off the review sessions as soon as he learns that they aren't required ("Then kiss my curvy butt good-bye!"), opting instead to go outside and chase squirrels.

Homer tests the Professor's patience again when the Professor is lecturing about proton accelerators and Homer arrogantly interrupts: "Excuse me, Professor Brainiac, but I worked in a nuclear power plant for ten years, and I think I know how a proton accelerator works." The Professor keeps his cool and graciously invites Homer to "please come down and show us." Homer's demonstration causes another meltdown, resulting in his being assigned supplemental tutoring (this time mandatory) with [[Benjamin]], [[Doug (nerd)|Doug]], and [[Gary]]. The tutoring is in addition to the class, so Homer stays in Nuclear Physics 101 with the Professor for the rest of the semester.

*According to ''The Simpsons Guide to America's Favorite Family'' (and shown in this episode), Homer did attempt to apply to college in his youth. His high school guidance counselor told him he was a shoo-in for admission, and the only remaining step was to sign the application form. Homer was just about to sign when he looked out the window, saw a dog with a piece of ham, and ran outside to fight with the dog for it. He never made it back into the counselor's office to sign the application, and the frustrated counselor crumpled up the form and threw it in the trash. Homer, recalling the incident, said that "fate stood in the way" of his going to college.
*When [[Mr. Burns]] tells Homer that he needs to go to college, Bart jokingly asks, "College? Barber or Clown?" Ironically, in a later episode, "[[Homie the Clown]]", Homer does end up going to a clown college.

Bobby Peterson

George: avoiding disambig

{{Character
|name = Bobby Peterson
|image = [[File:Deanpeterson.jpg|250px]]
|gender = {{Male}}
|hair = Blond
|age = early 30s (?)
|job = Dean of [[Springfield University]]
|appearance = [[Homer Goes to College]]
|voiced by = [[Hank Azaria]]
}}
'''Bobby Peterson''' is the Dean of [[Springfield University]]. He prefers to be called "Bobby."

Bobby is a young go-getter -- very mellow, hip, and easy-going. He plays bass guitar and encourages the Springfield University students to call him by his first name. Bobby is also very much '''not''' a hard-nosed disciplinarian, but is willing to take the blame for being too strict if disciplinary issues arise at the university. In fact, Bobby had never expelled anybody from school, prior to kicking out [[Benjamin]], [[Doug (nerd)|Doug]] and [[Gary]] for kidnapping [[Sir Oinks-A-Lot]]. Even then, Bobby only did it because of the influence of the pig's powerful friends (such as [[Richard Nixon]]).

In spite of Bobby's positive qualities, [[Homer Simpson]] takes an instant dislike to him, and spends most of his time at Springfield University nurturing an unreasonable resentment for the dean. Due to watching bad college comedy movies such as ''[[School of Hard Knockers]]'', Homer has a stereotypical image of a college dean as an inflexible old fuddy-duddy. This persists in Bobby's case, even though Homer is at least several years older than Bobby.

But when Homer becomes remorseful for his part in getting the nerds expelled while he himself got off scot-free, he confesses everything to the dean: kidnapping Sir Oinks-A-Lot, hitting the dean with his car (in a gone-awry scheme to get the nerds re-admitted to school), and the other pranks he and the nerds pulled. Bobby, for his part, concedes that he may have been "a bit of an ogre" and rescinds the nerds' expulsions, although as a result of being hit by Homer's car, he apparently needed a new hip, given what Dr. Hibbert mentioned. After that, Bobby and Homer get along reasonably well, partying together and even teaming up to prank [[Richard Nixon]] and [[Springfield A&M]].

After Homer's time at college, Bobby is present at a man's execution<ref>[[Hurricane Neddy]]</ref>. At some point afterwards, during Homer's college reunion, Homer decided to pull a prank on Dean Peterson involving a bucket with glue on the bottom and an ajar door as revenge for forcing him to donate. However, the plan backfired when it turned out that someone else set up the prank bucket, causing it to fall on Homer's head.<ref>[[Faith Off]]</ref>

'''Sir Oinks-A-Lot''' is the pig mascot of [[Springfield A&M]], the rival school of [[Springfield University]].

==History==
Sir Oinks-A-Lot had a long history at Springfield A&M, conferring an honorary degree on [[Richard Nixon]] being one of his accomplishments. He also presided over the annual Homecoming Dance. Sir Oinks-A-Lot was kidnapped as a prank by four Springfield University students ([[Homer]] and his three nerd friends [[Benjamin]], [[Doug (nerd)|Doug]], and [[Gary]]), and Homer got him drunk on malt liquor. When the Springfield University [[Bobby Peterson|dean]] caught the trio of nerds with the drunken pig, the influence of the pig's "powerful friends" (including Nixon) forced the dean to take harsh action, expelling the three nerds. Sir Oinks-A-Lot was returned to Springfield A&M via helicopter.

'''"Burning Down the Mouse"''' is an episode of ''[[The Itchy & Scratchy Show]]''.

[[Bart]] and [[Lisa]] are very excited to see this cartoon. Before it starts, Lisa says, "It's the one where [[Scratchy]] finally gets [[Itchy]]!"

== Plot (Partial) ==
[[File:BurningMouseExplosives.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Scratchy's pyrotechnic revenge on Itchy.]]Itchy is tied to a pole while Scratchy places large amounts of explosives on and around him:
*Sticks of dynamite jammed into Itchy's eyes and ears (Scratchy then lights the fuses)
*A hat and beard molded from plastic explosive and stuck onto Itchy
*Two hand grenades hung from Itchy's ears like earrings
*Two nuclear bombs aimed directly at Itchy's eyes
*Crates of TNT and nitroglycerine, bundles of dynamite sticks, and other assorted explosives stacked around and under the two bombs
Scratchy lights the fuse on a bundle of dynamite sticks, hails a cab, gets in, and drives away. Itchy frantically struggles to escape while the fuses on the dynamite burn shorter and shorter.

Bart, watching the cartoon, says, "My purpose in life is to witness this moment." Just as everything is about to blow up, the Simpsons' TV shuts off.

== Aftermath ==
[[Doug (nerd)|Doug]], one of the trio of nerds [[Homer Goes to College|staying with the Simpsons at the time]], had unplugged the TV to plug in a rock tumbler. By the time Bart and Lisa get him to plug the TV back in, the cartoon is over. The children watching in the studio cheer loudly, and [[Krusty the Clown]] comes on-screen and says, "WOW! They'll never let us show ''that'' again! Not in a million years!" Bart and Lisa are anguished about missing the end of the cartoon, and furious at Doug and the other two nerds.

First Church of Springfield

The '''First Church of Springfield''' is a Protestant Christian church in [[Springfield]]. It is part of the '''Western Branch of American Reform Presbylutheranism''' denomination. Most Springfielders attend. [[Reverend Timothy Lovejoy|Reverend Lovejoy]] is a member of the clergy of Presbylutheranism.

== Profile ==
As with any Church, the main service to the community is their Sunday Service, which most Springfieldians attend. However, they also have offered other services, such as a help line, marriage retreats, outings, a thrift shop, picnic and [[Kovenant|Christian bands]]. The church also distributes a movie guide, ''[[What Would Jesus View?]]'', that contains lists of movies along with information regarding whether the movies are considered appropriate for church members to watch.

The main building of the church is laid out with pews going down until the altar, where the Reverend preaches. At the end of each session, a dish is passed round for donations. Lack of donations have led to the church being brought by [[Mr. Burns]] on two occasions.<ref name="SLF">[[She of Little Faith]]</ref><ref name="IBWT">[[In Burn$ We Tru$t]]</ref> The Church also ran a Sunday School, attended by many local children and taught by [[Ms. Albright]].<ref>[[The Telltale Head]]</ref><ref>[[Bart's Girlfriend]]</ref> The church also has an office <ref name="IBWT" /> and a room in which the church council met.<ref name="SLF" />.

The stained glass windows have varied throughout the Church's history, originally being based on St. Eleutherius, St. Bartholomew, St. Lucian and St. Donickus. They appeared in a vision that Reverend Lovejoy had once.<ref>[[In Marge We Trust]]</ref> Later, [[Bart Simpson|Bart]] and [[Homer Simpson|Homer]] accidentally destroyed the Church using a rocket they made with the help of [[Gary]], [[Doug (nerd)|Doug]] and [[Benjamin]].
Later on, Bart smashed the windows again, this time of the apostles. The Church cut corners by letting [[Lenny]] do it, but ended up with the characters of the Drew Carey Show. Burns sponsored the church and replaced them with himself doing heroic actions.<ref name="IBWT" />

== History ==
The church has twice come under [[Charles Montgomery Burns]]' control. The first time occurred due to [[Bart Simpson|Bart]] and [[Homer Simpson|Homer]] accidentally destroying the Church using a rocket they made with the help of [[Gary]], [[Doug (nerd)|Doug]] and [[Benjamin]] to beat the [[Flanders Family|Flanders']] rocket. Nibbles the Hamster, the pilot, lost control and ejected, sending the rocket on a collision course into the Church. The Church Council got together and realized that they couldn't afford to repair the damage. Mr. Burns offered to repair the church in return for running the church. The council, though reluctant, was left without a choice and [[Lindsay Naegle]] was left in charge of renovations. Lindsay and Burns commercialized the church by putting up advertisements inside the church, include a neon [[Jesus]] and a [[Lard Lad]] statue. Inside there were also impulse stalls, such as a money changer and a novelty ''Last Supper'' cutout picture, which gave Church goers a chance to ''be'' Jesus. The seats were upgraded to extra large and a jumbotron was installed with a "God Cam". The sermons were also affected, which included advertisements and commercial sermon takers. The commercialization of the Church service led to [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]] converting to Buddhism.<ref name="SLF" />

The second time was again due to money shortages, with Mr. Burns sponsoring the Church in a scheme to help his [[Will There Ever be a Rainbow?|book]] sales. He replaced the stained glass windows with himself and added taco bars to the pews. As well as this, he gradually takes over sermons, showing [[The Man Who Planted Atoms|commercials]] for his [[Springfield Nuclear Power Plant|power plant]] and other advertisements. He also replaced the Bible with his autobiography, planning on turning Church into a book club. This caused [[Ned Flanders]] to leave the Church. Burns then developed a plan to become Pope and unlock the Vatican's riches, not realizing that the church was Protestant and not Catholic.

The church once fell into the ownership of [[Homer Simpson]], who won the deed to the Church and converted the church into his personal home, desecrating it in the process.<ref>[[Pray Anything]]</ref>

The church survived the [[Trappuccino]] incident and did not suffer any severe damage.<ref>[[The Simpsons Movie]]</ref>

The church still remained at odds with Catholicism (even though they stopped feuding with each other), its more devout members needing to have their hands re-blessed after shaking with a Catholic. Reverend Lovejoy also has a rivalry with a local Episcopal church<ref>[[Bart Has Two Mommies]]</ref>, and he also has engaged in a brawl with a Catholic priest.<ref>[[The Frying Game]]</ref> Native religions, for instance those which are found in the south Pacific, are seen as inferior, and missionary activity is employed to ridicule away the beliefs of native peoples <ref>[[Jasper Beardley]]</ref>. The church also has enemies on a social level, including monogamous gays and stem cells.

== Behind the Laughter ==
The unusually specific name of the Church is a parody of Protestant reformed churches branching off into other denominations and movements.

As well as this, he gradually takes over sermons, showing [[The Man Who Planted Atoms|commercials]] for his [[Springfield Nuclear Power Plant|power plant]] and other advertisements. He also replaced the Bible with his autobiography, planning on turning Church into a book club. This caused [[Ned Flanders]] to leave the Church. Burns then developed a plan to become Pope and unlock the Vatican's riches, not realizing that the church was Protestant and not Catholic.

The church once fell into the ownership of [[Homer Simpson]], who won the deed to the Church and converted the church into his personal home, desecrating it in the process.<ref>[[Pray Anything]]</ref>

The church survived the [[Trappuccino]] incident and did not suffer any severe damage.<ref>[[The Simpsons Movie]]</ref>

The church still remained at odds with Catholicism (even though they stopped feuding with each other), its more devout members needing to have their hands re-blessed after shaking with a Catholic. Reverend Lovejoy also has a rivalry with a local Episcopal church<ref>[[Bart Has Two Mommies]]</ref>, and he also has engaged in a brawl with a Catholic priest.<ref>[[The Frying Game]]</ref> Native religions, for instance those which are found in the south Pacific, are seen as inferior, and missionary activity is employed to ridicule away the beliefs of native peoples <ref>[[Jasper Beardley]]</ref>. The church also has enemies on a social level, including monogamous gays and stem cells.

== Behind the Laughter ==
The unusually specific name of the Church is a parody of Protestant reformed churches branching off into other denominations and movements.

''"'''''She of Little Faith'''" is the sixth episode of [[Season 13]]. It aired on December 16, 2001. The episode was written by [[Bill Freiberger]] and directed by [[Steven Dean Moore]]. [[w:Richard Gere|Richard Gere]] guest stars as himself.

==Synopsis==
Desperate for money, the [[First Church of Springfield]] decides to rent out its wallspace to local advertisers. Horrified at the living commercial the church has become, [[Lisa]] withdraws herself from the church and converts to Buddhism.

==Plot==
While watching television, [[Bart]] comes across a commercial for a model rocket. Using [[Homer]]’s credit card number, he orders one immediately. Soon after, Bart and Homer are in the backyard trying their luck with the device. Unfortunately, there are several premature explosions, sending father and son back to the drawing board. Homer is suddenly inspired when [[Flanders]] manages a successful launch of his own. Unwilling to be outdone, Homer contacts nerds [[Doug (nerd)|Doug]], [[Gary]] and [[Benjamin]] and enlists their help in constructing a rocket from scratch. This time, with [[Nibbles]] the hamster on board as pilot, the rocket lifts off majestically and soars into the air. When the rocket veers off-course, Homer contacts Nibbles and relays course correction instructions. But Nibbles bails out, and soon after, the rocket plummets to Earth, where it destroys [[Reverend Lovejoy]]’s church.

With the church destroyed, Lovejoy turns to parishoners for fundraising ideas. Hope comes in the form of [[Mr. Burns]], who asks for permission to run the church like a business. Lovejoy agrees to the idea. The church is rebuilt, but to [[Lisa]]’s horror, product displays and advertising are everywhere. Disgusted, Lisa storms out the exit door. Disillusioned, Lisa begins searching for a new faith. She eventually happens upon a Buddhist Temple. Intrigued, she walks inside, where she discovers Lenny and Carl meditating. She also encounters actor Richard Gere as he rakes a Zen garden. He gives Lisa a pamphlet containing the [http://www.thebigview.com/buddhism/fourtruths.html four noble truths] and the path to nirvana. Inspired, Lisa converts to Buddhism. Word of her conversion does not sit well with Homer and [[Marge]]. (Although, when Homer appears to be shouting at Lisa, he is actually shouting at Bart for not putting buttering his bacon and later for not rapping it around his sausage,)

At the church, Reverend Lovejoy turns his attention to the Lisa matter, referring to the girl as “Marge Simpson’s devil daughter.” Lovejoy concludes that Lisa can be wooed back to Christianity by bribing her with Christmas presents. On Christmas Eve, Lisa discovers a pony named Clip-Clop in the living room. Soon after, Maggie offers her a candy cane. But just as Lisa reaches for the confection, she notices Lovejoy watching her from outside…and urging her to “lick it.” Realizing she’s being bribed, Lisa runs off. The pony turns out to be Milhouse and Ralph in a pony costume. Later, Lisa visits Richard Gere and tells him what happened. Gere tells her that Buddhists are free to embrace any faith and celebrate any holiday, including Christmas. Lisa then returns home and celebrates Christmas with her family. After asking the whereabouts of her pony, Marge ignores her and continues talking about the new year while Lisa begins to call for Clip-Clop.

==Production==
This is the first episode featuring [[Al Jean]] as the new showrunner.

==Reception==
The episode was nominated for the "Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program". It received extremely positive reviews from TV critics and fans.

'''Springfield A&M''' is one of Springfield's universities, and the longtime rival of [[Springfield University]].

A&M's mascot is a pig named "[[Sir Oinks-A-Lot]]" who has several powerful friends, including [[Richard Nixon]]<ref>{{cite episode||title=Homer Goes To College|episodelink= Homer Goes to College}}</ref>, on whom he conferred an honorary degree. The college is often referred to as a "cow college," as the institution was literally founded by a cow<ref>{{cite episode||title=Faith Off|episodelink= Faith Off}}</ref>.

Springfield A&M and Springfield University meet in an annual football game. The schools' rivalry also comes out in other ways, such as when four Springfield University students ([[Homer Simpson]] and his nerd friends [[Benjamin]], [[Doug (nerd)|Doug]] and [[Gary]]) kidnapped Sir Oinks-A-Lot as a prank.

'''Faith Off''' is the eleventh episode of [[Season 11]]. It originally aired on January 16, 2000. The episode was written by [[Frank Mula]] and directed by [[Nancy Kruse]]. The song "[[Testify]]" is featured in this episode. [[wikipedia:Don_Cheadle|Don Cheadle]] and [[Joe Mantegna]] guest star.

== Synopsis ==
[[Bart]] becomes hooked on the art of faith healing after witnessing the spin of a traveling revivalist. Meanwhile, [[Homer]] prepares for the homecoming game of his old college-days chums.

== Plot ==
Homer visits [[Springfield University]] (from "[[Homer Goes to College]]") to pull a prank on Dean Bobby Peterson with his old nerd friends, [[Benjamin]], [[Doug (nerd)|Doug]] and [[Gary]]. Homer tries to put a bucket filled with glue on the Dean's head, but another bucket full of glue is already above the door and falls on Homer's head, and he cannot get it off. The family attends a religious revival, hosted by a faith healer named [[Brother Faith]], and [[Bart Simpson|Bart]] pulls the bucket off Homer's head. Brother Faith considers this act a sign that Bart has the "gift" of healing. [[Lisa]] is skeptical and attempts to use reason to explain that the hot stage lights heated the metal bucket, allowing Bart to pull it off. Undaunted, Bart becomes a faith healer, pulls miracles of his own, and even forms his own church where he heals Springfield's residents.

The church is cut short, however, when [[Milhouse]] is run down after he mistakes an oncoming truck for a dog. Bart had "healed" him of his [[wikipedia:Myopia|myopia]] during his revival meeting by knocking his glasses off his face. Subsequently, Bart decides to end his career as a faith healer. Meanwhile, Homer prepares for Springfield University's homecoming football game by building a float that he has fashioned out of flowers (stolen from [[Ned Flanders]]' garden). At the game, everyone (including the family) cheers for S.U.'s football team's star player, a kicker named [[Anton Lubchenko]]. Homer gets drunk and forgets he has made a float to celebrate SU. He crowd surfs down to the playing field, and runs to his float. Unfortunately, halftime has ended, the other floats have left the field and the players have come back on. Homer drives his float over the leg of Lubchenko, horribly wounding him. [[Fat Tony]] threatens to kill Homer with an ice pick if Lubchenko doesn't return to the game. Homer convinces Bart to try and heal the kicker. Bart prays to God to help him heal the kicker. With his team down by 2 points, Lubchenko returns to the game and kicks the football, which does not make the goal. Lubchenko's leg is then shown to have come off, hit the ball into the air and through the goal, winning the game. Bart announces that he doesn't have special powers.

}}
'''Cecil Underdunk Terwilliger''' is the younger brother of [[Sideshow Bob|Robert Underdunk Terwilliger (Sideshow Bob)]].

==Biography==
===Early life===
When he was young, Cecil was ignored by his parents compared to Bob, similar to the rest of his life.<ref>[[Simpsons/Sideshow Sibling Smackdown]]</ref>
Cecil's dream since a child was to become [[Krusty the Clown]]'s sidekick on ''[[The Krusty the Clown Show]]''.<ref name="BFAS">[[Brother From Another Series]]</ref> Cecil spent, according to Bob, "four years at clown college", to which Cecil replies, "I'd thank you not to refer to Princeton that way". Krusty and the producers of his show rejected Cecil during his audition. Cecil offered to perform his prepared "pie-in-the-face take" before he was ushered off-stage, but this did not change the producers' minds as Cecil lacked the dignity neccesary to pull the bit off. It was then that Krusty spotted Robert, standing to the side in a fine suit and looking like he genuinly didn't want to be there. Krusty ordered a pie-in-the-face for him, the resulting impact knocking off Robert's top hat and causing his hair to spring up from under it. Krusty hired Robert as his sidekick on the spot. Cecil resented and was jealous of his brother. His birthday is also on May 18, 1973.
===Springfield Dam Plot===
When Sideshow Bob was released from [[Springfield Penitentiary|prison]], Cecil hired him to work for his company building a new [[Springfield Hydroelectric Dam|hydroelectric dam]] along the river, proudly telling him that he was [[Springfield]]'s "Chief Hydrological and Hydrodynamical Engineer". Cecil's true intentions, however, were to skim money from the dam project's contract, build a poor quality dam, and frame his brother for the resulting destruction (mainly due to his still being sore about Sideshow Bob getting the part of sideshow on Krusty's show). Cecil's plot was discovered by [[Bart Simpson|Bart]] and [[Lisa Simpson]], although they initially thought it was Sideshow Bob who was guilty until Cecil revealed his true colors. Ultimately, he lost the laundered money in a struggle against Bart. However, he does try to succeed in doing "the one thing Bob failed to do," which is of course killing Bart Simpson, albeit in an ironically crude fashion as him throwing Bart off of a cliff, although he hints that he'll lie if anyone asks how he did it. This attempt was foiled, ironically by Sideshow Bob. Cecil wasn't done yet, however, so he decided to both blow up the dam as well as directly kill both Bart and Sideshow Bob by shooting the dynamite stick (Bob had to use the Dynamite as a rope to catch Bart), although Bob and Bart foiled this effort by cutting the detonation charge, nearly killing themselves in the process. Despite Bob's innocence, both brothers were sent to prison, since [[Chief Wiggum]] did not believe that Sideshow Bob was innocent, despite testimonies from Bart, Lisa, himself, and Lou.<ref name="BFAS" />

===Prison and Release===
Unpopular compared to his brother, and being compared to by a new prisoner as like [[wikipedia:Tito Jackson|Tito Jackson]]. Cecil was also forgotten by the Police force for a parole hearing as he was apparently never checked in to prison, as Bob was also arrested at the same time, and so Cecil was released. Cecil rented a hideout. Meanwhile [[Lisa Simpson]] was also being overshadowed by her [[Bart|brother]]. Wanting to be different from Bob, Cecil decided to destroy Lisa for thwarting his plan to destroy the dam. Lisa received a death threat and [[Marge]] thinking that it was from Sideshow Bob, called the jail, where he was still, his parole hearing failing. Cecil got a seat on the School Board and as part of a money saving plan, got Lisa's favorite lesson, music canceled and her saxophone marked as a "dangerous instrument". He also joined the Friends of the Library Committee and got the Library's books replaced with graphic novels. He also threatened Krusty with pictures from his Bangkok vacation, so he would stop showing [[Itchy and Scratchy]], which was replaced with Jeeves and Wooster and gets [[Springfield Elementary School|her school]] permanently closed. Comparing the death threats, Lisa notices the different, yet similar handwriting, just as a wrecking ball smashed through the wall. [[Gary]], [[Doug (nerd)|Doug]] and [[Benjamin]] trace the IP for Lisa, which leads them to the Warehouse District. However, Cecil was already their and caught them, as the nerds where working with Cecil. However, the wrecking ball was from the Construction Workers Union, as Homer ate their lunch. Cecil planned to freeze Bart and Lisa in Liquid Nitrogen, like he had some door-to-door salesman. At that moment however, the [[Springfield Police|police]] arrested Cecil.

===Bob's Funeral===
[[File:DeathOfBobb.png|thumb|right|150px|Cecil at Bob's "funeral"]]
He was seen again when Sideshow Bob was put on trial for trying to kill The Simpsons family and there [[Robert Terwilliger Sr.|his father]] says Sideshow Bob has a rare heart condition which was caused by his many failed attempts to kill Bart.<ref>[[Funeral for a Fiend]]</ref> It was then revealed he had to take medication to keep himself healthy but Bart throws it out the window thinking it's a bomb and Sideshow Bob drops dead. Cecil then invites Bart to Bob's cremation and Bart decides to go to change the way he acted during Bob's funeral, however it is just a trap and Sideshow Bob is not dead but is alive and came out of his coffin to kill Bart by putting him in it and getting burned. But Bob's family's plan is yet foiled again and he, Cecil, Robert Sr., Francesca, and Bob's mother are all sent to jail, while Bob is stuck in a straight coat, and most of his family is playing poker. In "The Bob Next Noor", it is unknown why he and the rest of Bob's family were not seen in Bob's cell.
===Bart's Dream===
Cecil made a brief appearance in one of Bart's dreams, in which he and Bob are flying kites together.<ref>[[O Brother, Where Bart Thou?]]</ref>
==Behind the Laughter==
Cecil, voiced by [[David Hyde Pierce]], and Robert, voiced by [[Kelsey Grammer]], have a relationship similar to that of [[wikipedia:Niles Crane|Niles Crane]] and [[wikipedia:Frasier Crane|Frasier Crane]], whom the actors played on the sitcom ''[[wikipedia:Frasier|Frasier]]''. His mannerisms are similar to that of his Fraiser counterpart. Cecil was designed to look similar to David, yet still look like Sideshow Bob.

"'''Homer Goes to College'''" is the third episode of [[Season 5]]. It aired on October 14, 1993. The episode was written by [[Conan O'Brien]] and directed by [[Jim Reardon]].
==Synopsis==
After learning that [[Homer]] is seriously underqualified for his own job, [[Mr. Burns]] enrolls him at [[Springfield University]]. While there, Homer befriends three nerds and accidentally gets them expelled.
== Plot ==
[[Nuclear Inspectors|Inspectors]] from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission arrive at [[Springfield Nuclear Power Plant]] to conduct a surprise evaluation of employee competence using the simulated workstation in their [[Nuclear Inspection Van|van]]. [[Smithers]], reacting quickly, gives the three least-gifted employees (including [[Homer]]) the busy-work task of guarding a bee in the basement to hide them from the inspectors. However, Homer accidentally breaks the jar containing the bee and it escapes. Homer chases after the bee and ends up emerging from a manhole right next to the van, thus being noticed by the inspectors in spite of Smithers' best efforts.

When Homer gets his turn in the van's simulator, he manages to cause a meltdown even though the van doesn't have any nuclear material in it. [[Mr. Burns]] first tries to bribe his way out of the situation, but the inspectors are unmoved. Burns then tries to bodily eject the inspectors from his office by using his trapdoor, but that doesn't work due to his office having been rearranged. The inspectors rule that Homer needs college training in nuclear physics to be qualified for his job. Homer applies to several colleges, but is rejected by every one. Burns then exerts some personal influence to get Homer admitted to [[Springfield University]].

Now a college student, Homer is under the impression (thanks to watching movies such as ''[[School of Hard Knockers]]'') that it will be like a cliché college comedy, where it is his duty to hassle nerds and stand up to the overbearing old fuddy-duddy dean. In fact, there is no jock/nerd enmity at Springfield University, and the dean, [[Bobby Peterson]], is a young, hip, laid-back, go-getter -- completely non-stereotypical -- who plays bass guitar and encourages the students to call him by his first name. However, this doesn't stop Homer from nurturing a resentment for the dean.

Homer also delights in hassling the ever-patient [[Nuclear Physics Professor]], and causes a meltdown in class when the professor asks him to demonstrate how a proton accelerator works. Dean Peterson then assigns Homer to supplemental tutoring, and Homer meets the nerd trio of [[Benjamin]], [[Doug (nerd)|Doug]], and [[Gary]]. Unlike the dean, the nerds are totally stereotypical, hanging out on their computers all day while telling jokes from Monty Python routines.

In an effort to get the nerds to loosen up and live a little, Homer decides to take the nerds on a road trip with several cases of beer. His plan fizzles when [[Marge]] makes him take [[Bart]] and [[Lisa]] along and they end up going to a petting zoo. Homer's next idea is to pull a prank, and Bart helps them to plan the kidnapping of [[Sir Oinks-A-Lot]], the pig mascot of [[Springfield A&M]]. They bring the pig back to Springfield University, and Homer gets the pig drunk (and sick) by splitting a case of malt liquor with him. Dean Peterson catches the nerds (but not Homer) with the drunken pig, and the dean is forced to expel the nerds from Springfield University due to the influence of the pig's powerful friends, one of whom is former U.S. President [[Richard Nixon]]. Homer, however, gets off scot-free.

Feeling guilty for his role in getting the nerds expelled, Homer invites the nerds to stay in [[742 Evergreen Terrace|the Simpson home]] since they have nowhere else to go. However, they quickly get on the nerves of the rest of the family by using the phone line to hook up their computers, leaving their retainers in the dishwasher, and interrupting a much-anticipated ''[[Itchy & Scratchy]]'' cartoon. The latter is the last straw as far as Bart is concerned ("Dad, start diggin' some nerd holes"), and even Marge has had enough, saying "I want those geeks out of my house."

Homer hatches a scheme where he will drive his car at Dean Peterson and the nerds will push him out of the way at the last second, thus saving his life, earning his gratitude, and being let back into school. The nerds blow their part (due to debating whether they need to calculate for wind resistance), and Peterson gets run over. Homer visits Peterson in the hospital and confesses to his part in all the pranks. Touched by Homer's honesty, and conceding that he may have been a bit of an ogre himself, Peterson rescinds the nerds' explusions and allows them back into school.

All is well until Homer realizes that it's time for his final exam in Nuclear Physics. The nerds help Homer to "cram like you've never crammed before!", but he fails the test anyway. The nerds then hack into the college's computer and change Homer's grade to an A. Marge, however, protests that Homer's cheating is setting a terrible example for the children and makes him retake the class. During his retake, Homer pursues several stereotypical college activities (as seen in a montage of photos): Waterskiing in a toga; getting into a {{w|Food fight|food fight}}; apparently being hazed into a fraternity (a naked Homer is shown being spanked with a paddle by several fraternity boys wearing red hoods); shoving several students, including Doug, Benjamin and Gary, into a telephone booth; teaming up with Dean Peterson to pull a [[School of Hard Knockers|Bra Bomb prank]] on Richard Nixon; and pushing Dean Peterson into a swimming pool. Eventually, Homer manages to pass the course (presumably fairly) and graduates, although he also {{w|Indecent exposure|flashes}} the crowd while receiving his diploma.

==History==

They used to perform at [[Moe's Tavern]] but then started to perform at [[Springfield State Prison]] and [[The First Church of Springfield]] in 1985. This then caught the eyes of a man named [[Nigel (Homer's Barbershop Quartet)|Nigel]]. He then suggested they should be a real band and should remove Chief Wiggum because he reminded too much of the Village People. After a failed tryout The Be Sharps heard [[Barney Gumble]]'s good singing and decided to have him join the band. They then had a concert at The Statue of Liberty and won a Grammy Award. Afterwards they became unpopular, with Barney dating a Japanese conceptual artist, and split up. In their latest act they sang "[[Baby on Board]]" on top of Moe's roof.

== Products ==
The Be Sharps also had various products. One was a foam squirter that got recalled because anyone who ate the foam would get poisoned and would die.

'''Harry Julius Shearer''' is a starring voice actor on ''The Simpsons''. He provides the voices of many characters, among them [[Charles Montgomery Burns]], [[Ned Flanders]] and [[Seymour Skinner]] -- to name only a few.
==Biography==

Harry Shearer began acting at the age of seven at the suggestion of his piano teacher-turned-agent. He made his film debut in the classic ''Abbott and Costello Go To Mars,'' and had a small role in the first Cinemascope movie ''The Robe''.

He often appeared on ''The Jack Benny Show'' as well as GE Theatre, ''Alfred Hitchcock Presents'', and played the role of Eddie Haskell in the pilot episode of ''Leave It To Beaver''.

Harry gained national recognition as one of the creators and stars of ''This Is Spinal Tap'', where he portrayed heavy metalist Derek Smalls in the mock rockumentary.

Harry was a writer and cast member of ''Saturday Night Live[[File:Shearer snl.jpg|thumb|Shearer on Saturday Night Live (minus subtitle)]]'' for two seasons. His on-screen performance as a NASA recruitment official in ''The Right Stuff'' shows that he can also support a convincing "establishment" persona as well. Harry's other film work includes ''Oscar, The Fisher King, Wayne's World II,'' and ''Pure Luck''.

His television work has included ''Politically Incorrect'', ''Martin Mull's Portrait of a White Marriage'', ''HBO Comedy Hour Live: The Magic of Live'', ''Fernwood 2 Night'', ''Ellen''''', '''''Friends'', ''Murphy Brown'', ''LA Law'' and ''The News Hole'' for which he won an Ace Award for Best Game Show ('95).

'''Troy McClure''' is a cheesy B-movie actor who has fallen on hard times. He is often seen shilling for shoddy products or hosting questionable shows.

== Biography ==
McClure is a stereotypical Hollywood has-been, reduced to appearing in low quality films and television presenting jobs. During the early seventies he had a highly successful acting career, but it has since become worse.<ref name=fcs/> He often appears in short video clips seen on television or in a public place. He often is shown presenting educational videos<ref>{{cite episode |title=Lisa the Vegetarian|episodelink=Lisa the Vegetarian |series=The Simpsons |serieslink=The Simpsons |credits=Cohen, David; Kirkland, Mark; Mirkin, David|network=Fox |airdate=1995-10-15 |season=7 |number=133}}</ref><ref>{{cite episode |title=Lisa the Simpson|episodelink=Lisa the Simpson |series=The Simpsons |serieslink=The Simpsons |credits=Goldreyer, Ned; Dietter, Susie; Oakley, Bill; Weinstein, Josh; Reardon, Jim; Reiss, Mike; Jean, Al|network=Fox |airdate=1998-03-08 |season=9 |number=195}}</ref> and infomercials.<ref>{{cite episode |title=Marge in Chains|episodelink=Marge in Chains |series=The Simpsons |serieslink=The Simpsons |credits=Oakley, Bill; Weinstein, Josh|network=Fox |airdate=1993-05-06 |season=4 |number=80}}</ref> When introducing anything that he does, McClure lists projects that he has previously done with the phrase "Hi, I'm Troy McClure. You may remember me from such [films, educational videos, voiceovers, etc.] as..." and will mention two titles of a similar subject to that of the current performance he is giving.
[[File:Troy McClure films.jpg|thumb|A list of his films (click to enlarge)]]
McClure's career went downhill due to his reported unusual paraphilia, which apparently involved fish, to the point where he had not worked in twelve years. To cover this up, he began a relationship with [[Selma Bouvier]], whom he had met when she gave him an eye test at the [[Department of Motor Vehicles]]. This revived his career, leading him to star in ''[[Stop the Planet of the Apes, I Want to Get Off!]]'', a musical version of the film ''Planet of the Apes''. To further revive his career, McClure's agent suggests that he marry Selma, a proposal which she accepts. At his bachelor party, a drunken McClure tells [[Homer Simpson]] that the marriage is just a sham to help his career. At the wedding, an unknowing Selma marries Troy. Selma discovers that their marriage was a sham and although she accepted it, she drew the line when McClure's agent suggested that the pair have a child. As "all the big parts these days are going to family men" having a child would have secured McClure's casting as [[McBain]]'s sidekick in ''[[McBain IV: Fatal Discharge]]''. Having rejected his offer, Selma leaves McClure. As a result McClure stars in his own independent film ''[[The Contrabulous Fabtraption of Professor Horatio Hufnagel]]''.<ref>{{cite episode |title=A Fish Called Selma |episodelink=A Fish Called Selma |series=The Simpsons |serieslink=The Simpsons |credits=Barth, Jack; Kirkland, Mark; Weinstein, Josh; Oakley, Bill|network=Fox |airdate=1996-03-24 |season=7 |number=147}}</ref>

=== Non-Canon ===
{{Noncanon}}
In addition to his appearances within episodes, McClure presented the episodes "[[The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular]]" and "[[The Simpsons Spin-Off Showcase]]". The first is a behind the scenes look at ''The Simpsons'', answering questions and featuring extra "never before seen" material.<ref>{{cite episode |title=The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular|episodelink=The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular |series=The Simpsons |serieslink=The Simpsons |credits=Vitti, John; Silverman, David; Oakley, Bill; Weinstein, Josh|network=Fox |airdate=1995-12-03 |season=7 |number=138}}</ref> The second is an episode presenting three possible spin-offs from ''The Simpsons''.<ref>{{cite episode |title=The Simpsons Spin-Off Showcase|episodelink=The Simpsons Spin-Off Showcase |series=The Simpsons |serieslink=The Simpsons |credits=Cohen, David; Greaney, Dan; Tompkins, Steve; Affleck, Neil; Oakley, Bill; Weinstein, Josh|network=Fox |airdate=1995-12-03 |season=7 |number=138}}</ref>

== Behind The Laughter ==
=== Creation ===
McClure was based on the typical "washed up" Hollywood actor, with inspiration for his character and name being drawn from [[B-movie]] actors [[Troy Donahue]] and [[Doug McClure]].<ref name=inter>{{cite interview|last=Groening|first=Matt|subjectlink = Matt Groening| interviewer = [[Terry Gross]]| title = Fresh Air| program = [[National Public Radio]]| callsign = [[WHYY]]| url = http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4249835| city = Philadelphia| date = 2004-12-29| accessdate = 2007-06-09}}</ref> [[Mike Reiss]] later met Doug McClure's daughter who revealed that her father had found the homage funny and McClure's children would call their father Troy McClure when his back was turned. [[Phil Hartman]] was cast in the role due to his ability to pull "the maximum amount of humour" out of any line he was given,<ref name=inter/> and McClure's visual appearance is similar to that of Hartman himself.<ref>{{cite video|people=Weinstein, Josh|year=2006|title=The Simpsons The Complete Seventh Season DVD commentary for the episode "[[The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular]]"|medium=DVD||publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref> McClure drives a 1981 [[De Lorean DMC-12]]. McClure lives in his home, resembling the one from the movie '[[Body Double]]'''<ref name=fcs/>, ''in the upscale residential area of "Springfield Heigths", which is also resided by Mob boss "Fat" Tony D'Amico and Jewish entertainer Krusty The Clown.

=== Development ===
McClure's character is developed in "[[A Fish Called Selma]]", when a more in-depth look into his private life is shown. The episode is the only one in the entire run of the series that shows true emotion from Troy McClure.<ref name=fcs/> Show runners [[Bill Oakley]] and [[Josh Weinstein]] were big fans of Phil Hartman, and wished to make an episode entirely about McClure in order to give him as much to do as possible. From this came the idea of him marrying [[Selma Bouvier]], as she was "always marrying people".<ref name=fcs/> Having Troy McClure as the star of the episode pleased animator [[Mark Kirkland]], as he found McClure's voice great to animate to, allowing him and other animators to "open him up visually as a character".<ref name=fcs/> It is hinted throughout the course of the episode that he has strange sexual behaviour. Throughout the production of the episode, the writers did not know what the "unsavoury" sexual preference was. They decided on a fish fetish, an idea [[James L. Brooks]] suggested as it was "so perverted and strange, it was over the top".<ref name=fcs/> McClure's apparent fish fetish was mentioned by ''[[The Guardian]]'' in their article about a Swiss scientist's discovery that sticklebacks ejaculate more sperm after they have seen images of fish flirting.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/netnotes/article/0,,976153,00.html|title=Fish porn|date=[[2003-06-12]]|accessdate=2007-06-08|publisher=[[The Guardian]]|author=Simon Jeffery}}</ref>

=== Retirement ===
[[File:Pepsi.jpg|thumb|right|174px|One of the last appearances of Troy McClure]]
Phil Hartman was murdered by his wife Brynn on May 28, 1998.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.cnn.com/SHOWBIZ/TV/9805/28/hartman/|title=Phil Hartman, wife die in apparent murder-suicide|accessdate=2007-06-08|date=[[1998-05-28]]|publisher=[[CNN]]}}</ref> Rather than replace Hartman with a new voice actor, the production staff retired McClure, along with Hartman's other character [[Lionel Hutz]], from the show.<ref name=inter/> He last appeared in the season ten episode "[[Bart the Mother]]". Before his death, Phil Hartman had often expressed an interest in starring in a live action film about McClure, with several of the show's writers wanting to help make it.<ref>{{cite video|people=Oakley, Bill|year=2006|title=The Simpsons The Complete Seventh Season DVD commentary for the episode "[[Homerpalooza]]"|medium=DVD||publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref> [[Josh Weinstein]] stated that the plot of "A Fish Called Selma" could have worked well as a live action film.<ref name=fcs>{{cite video|people=Weinstein, Josh; Oakley, Bill; Silverman, David; Goldblum, Jeff|year=2006|title=The Simpsons The Complete Seventh Season DVD commentary for the episode "[[A Fish Called Selma]]"|medium=DVD||publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref> [[Matt Groening]] later told ''[[wikipedia:Empire|Empire]]'' that the idea never "got further than enthusiasm" but that "it would have been really fun."<ref name="empire">{{cite news | author = Olly Richards | title = Life In Development Hell | pages = 76 | publisher = [[Empire (magazine)|Empire]] | date = [[2007-05-24]] | accessdate = 2007-06-08}}</ref>
Hartman was cast before his death as Zapp Brannigan in Matt Groening's ''[[Futurama]]''. [[Billy West]] took over the role, and based his vocal performance on Hartman's characterizations, particularly McClure.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tvsquad.com/2006/06/15/billy-west-the-tv-squad-interview/|title=Billy West: The TV Squad Interview|accessdate=2007-06-09|date=[[2006-06-15]]|author=Joel Keller|publisher=TV Squad.com}}</ref>

== Cultural influence and legacy ==
In a 2006 article [[IGN.com]] ranked McClure in first position on their list of the "Top 25 Simpsons Peripheral Characters", citing that he is "a wonderfully bizarre and entertaining character that showcases the best of what small roles on ''The Simpsons'' can be."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://uk.tv.ign.com/articles/730/730957p5.html|title=Top 25 Simpsons Peripheral Characters|accessdate=2007-06-08|date=[[2006-09-06]]|author=Eric Goldman, Dan Iverson, Brian Zoromski|publisher=[[IGN.com]]}}</ref> In his book ''[[Planet Simpson]]'', Chris Turner describes McClure in detail citing that he, along with Lionel Hutz, "represent the most significant contribution to the show outside its permanent cast" and that "the show's Golden Age is hard to imagine without them".

'''Troy McClure''' is a cheesy B-movie actor who has fallen on hard times. He is often seen shilling for shoddy products or hosting questionable shows.

== Biography ==
McClure is a stereotypical Hollywood has-been, reduced to appearing in low quality films and television presenting jobs. During the early seventies he had a highly successful acting career, but it has since become worse.<ref name=fcs/> He often appears in short video clips seen on television or in a public place. He often is shown presenting educational videos<ref>{{cite episode |title=Lisa the Vegetarian|episodelink=Lisa the Vegetarian |series=The Simpsons |serieslink=The Simpsons |credits=Cohen, David; Kirkland, Mark; Mirkin, David|network=Fox |airdate=1995-10-15 |season=7 |number=133}}</ref><ref>{{cite episode |title=Lisa the Simpson|episodelink=Lisa the Simpson |series=The Simpsons |serieslink=The Simpsons |credits=Goldreyer, Ned; Dietter, Susie; Oakley, Bill; Weinstein, Josh; Reardon, Jim; Reiss, Mike; Jean, Al|network=Fox |airdate=1998-03-08 |season=9 |number=195}}</ref> and infomercials.<ref>{{cite episode |title=Marge in Chains|episodelink=Marge in Chains |series=The Simpsons |serieslink=The Simpsons |credits=Oakley, Bill; Weinstein, Josh|network=Fox |airdate=1993-05-06 |season=4 |number=80}}</ref> When introducing anything that he does, McClure lists projects that he has previously done with the phrase "Hi, I'm Troy McClure. You may remember me from such [films, educational videos, voiceovers, etc.] as..." and will mention two titles of a similar subject to that of the current performance he is giving.
[[File:Troy McClure films.jpg|thumb|A list of his films (click to enlarge)]]
McClure's career went downhill due to his reported unusual paraphilia, which apparently involved fish, to the point where he had not worked in twelve years. To cover this up, he began a relationship with [[Selma Bouvier]], whom he had met when she gave him an eye test at the [[Department of Motor Vehicles]]. This revived his career, leading him to star in ''[[Stop the Planet of the Apes, I Want to Get Off!]]'', a musical version of the film ''Planet of the Apes''. To further revive his career, McClure's agent suggests that he marry Selma, a proposal which she accepts. At his bachelor party, a drunken McClure tells [[Homer Simpson]] that the marriage is just a sham to help his career. At the wedding, an unknowing Selma marries Troy. Selma discovers that their marriage was a sham and although she accepted it, she drew the line when McClure's agent suggested that the pair have a child. As "all the big parts these days are going to family men" having a child would have secured McClure's casting as [[McBain]]'s sidekick in ''[[McBain IV: Fatal Discharge]]''. Having rejected his offer, Selma leaves McClure. As a result McClure stars in his own independent film ''[[The Contrabulous Fabtraption of Professor Horatio Hufnagel]]''.<ref>{{cite episode |title=A Fish Called Selma |episodelink=A Fish Called Selma |series=The Simpsons |serieslink=The Simpsons |credits=Barth, Jack; Kirkland, Mark; Weinstein, Josh; Oakley, Bill|network=Fox |airdate=1996-03-24 |season=7 |number=147}}</ref>

=== Non-Canon ===
{{Noncanon}}
In addition to his appearances within episodes, McClure presented the episodes "[[The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular]]" and "[[The Simpsons Spin-Off Showcase]]". The first is a behind the scenes look at ''The Simpsons'', answering questions and featuring extra "never before seen" material.<ref>{{cite episode |title=The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular|episodelink=The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular |series=The Simpsons |serieslink=The Simpsons |credits=Vitti, John; Silverman, David; Oakley, Bill; Weinstein, Josh|network=Fox |airdate=1995-12-03 |season=7 |number=138}}</ref> The second is an episode presenting three possible spin-offs from ''The Simpsons''.<ref>{{cite episode |title=The Simpsons Spin-Off Showcase|episodelink=The Simpsons Spin-Off Showcase |series=The Simpsons |serieslink=The Simpsons |credits=Cohen, David; Greaney, Dan; Tompkins, Steve; Affleck, Neil; Oakley, Bill; Weinstein, Josh|network=Fox |airdate=1995-12-03 |season=7 |number=138}}</ref>

== Behind The Laughter ==
=== Creation ===
McClure was based on the typical "washed up" Hollywood actor, with inspiration for his character and name being drawn from [[B-movie]] actors [[Troy Donahue]] and [[Doug McClure]].<ref name=inter>{{cite interview|last=Groening|first=Matt|subjectlink = Matt Groening| interviewer = [[Terry Gross]]| title = Fresh Air| program = [[National Public Radio]]| callsign = [[WHYY]]| url = http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4249835| city = Philadelphia| date = 2004-12-29| accessdate = 2007-06-09}}</ref> [[Mike Reiss]] later met Doug McClure's daughter who revealed that her father had found the homage funny and McClure's children would call their father Troy McClure when his back was turned.<ref name=first/> [[Phil Hartman]] was cast in the role due to his ability to pull "the maximum amount of humour" out of any line he was given,<ref name=inter/> and McClure's visual appearance is similar to that of Hartman himself.<ref>{{cite video|people=Weinstein, Josh|year=2006|title=The Simpsons The Complete Seventh Season DVD commentary for the episode "[[The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular]]"|medium=DVD||publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref> McClure drives a 1981 [[De Lorean DMC-12]]. McClure lives in his home, resembling the one from the movie '[[Body Double]]'''<ref name=fcs/>, ''in the upscale residential area of "Springfield Heigths", which is also resided by Mob boss "Fat" Tony D'Amico and Jewish entertainer Krusty The Clown.

=== Development ===
McClure's character is developed in "[[A Fish Called Selma]]", when a more in-depth look into his private life is shown. The episode is the only one in the entire run of the series that shows true emotion from Troy McClure.<ref name=fcs/> Show runners [[Bill Oakley]] and [[Josh Weinstein]] were big fans of Phil Hartman, and wished to make an episode entirely about McClure in order to give him as much to do as possible. From this came the idea of him marrying [[Selma Bouvier]], as she was "always marrying people".<ref name=fcs/> Having Troy McClure as the star of the episode pleased animator [[Mark Kirkland]], as he found McClure's voice great to animate to, allowing him and other animators to "open him up visually as a character".<ref name=fcs/> It is hinted throughout the course of the episode that he has strange sexual behaviour. Throughout the production of the episode, the writers did not know what the "unsavoury" sexual preference was. They decided on a fish fetish, an idea [[James L. Brooks]] suggested as it was "so perverted and strange, it was over the top".<ref name=fcs/> McClure's apparent fish fetish was mentioned by ''[[The Guardian]]'' in their article about a Swiss scientist's discovery that sticklebacks ejaculate more sperm after they have seen images of fish flirting.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/netnotes/article/0,,976153,00.html|title=Fish porn|date=[[2003-06-12]]|accessdate=2007-06-08|publisher=[[The Guardian]]|author=Simon Jeffery}}</ref>

=== Retirement ===
[[File:Pepsi.jpg|thumb|right|174px|One of the last appearances of Troy McClure]]
Phil Hartman was murdered by his wife Brynn on May 28, 1998.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.cnn.com/SHOWBIZ/TV/9805/28/hartman/|title=Phil Hartman, wife die in apparent murder-suicide|accessdate=2007-06-08|date=[[1998-05-28]]|publisher=[[CNN]]}}</ref> Rather than replace Hartman with a new voice actor, the production staff retired McClure, along with Hartman's other character [[Lionel Hutz]], from the show.<ref name=inter/> He last appeared in the season ten episode "[[Bart the Mother]]". Before his death, Phil Hartman had often expressed an interest in starring in a live action film about McClure, with several of the show's writers wanting to help make it.<ref>{{cite video|people=Oakley, Bill|year=2006|title=The Simpsons The Complete Seventh Season DVD commentary for the episode "[[Homerpalooza]]"|medium=DVD||publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref> [[Josh Weinstein]] stated that the plot of "A Fish Called Selma" could have worked well as a live action film.<ref name=fcs>{{cite video|people=Weinstein, Josh; Oakley, Bill; Silverman, David; Goldblum, Jeff|year=2006|title=The Simpsons The Complete Seventh Season DVD commentary for the episode "[[A Fish Called Selma]]"|medium=DVD||publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref> [[Matt Groening]] later told ''[[wikipedia:Empire|Empire]]'' that the idea never "got further than enthusiasm" but that "it would have been really fun."<ref name="empire">{{cite news | author = Olly Richards | title = Life In Development Hell | pages = 76 | publisher = [[Empire (magazine)|Empire]] | date = [[2007-05-24]] | accessdate = 2007-06-08}}</ref>
Hartman was cast before his death as Zapp Brannigan in Matt Groening's ''[[Futurama]]''. [[Billy West]] took over the role, and based his vocal performance on Hartman's characterizations, particularly McClure.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tvsquad.com/2006/06/15/billy-west-the-tv-squad-interview/|title=Billy West: The TV Squad Interview|accessdate=2007-06-09|date=[[2006-06-15]]|author=Joel Keller|publisher=TV Squad.com}}</ref>

== Cultural influence and legacy ==
In a 2006 article [[IGN.com]] ranked McClure in first position on their list of the "Top 25 Simpsons Peripheral Characters", citing that he is "a wonderfully bizarre and entertaining character that showcases the best of what small roles on ''The Simpsons'' can be."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://uk.tv.ign.com/articles/730/730957p5.html|title=Top 25 Simpsons Peripheral Characters|accessdate=2007-06-08|date=[[2006-09-06]]|author=Eric Goldman, Dan Iverson, Brian Zoromski|publisher=[[IGN.com]]}}</ref> In his book ''[[Planet Simpson]]'', Chris Turner describes McClure in detail citing that he, along with Lionel Hutz, "represent the most significant contribution to the show outside its permanent cast" and that "the show's Golden Age is hard to imagine without them". McClure became the perfect portrayal of a media stereotype and a "gut-achingly funny reinterpretation" of a character type that had been "done to death".<ref name=Turner>{{cite book | last=Turner | first=Chris | title=[[Planet Simpson: How a Cartoon Masterpiece Documented an Era and Defined a Generation]] |publisher=Random House of Canada |id=ISBN 0-679-31318-4|pages=pg. 405–6}}</ref> Adam Finley named Phil Hartman one of the five best guest stars on ''The Simpsons'', saying that McClure was "responsible for some of the funniest moments in ''Simpsons'' history."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tvsquad.com/2006/06/20/the-five-great-simpsons-guest-stars/|title=The Five: Great Simpsons guest stars|accessdate=2007-06-23|date=[[2006-06-20]]|author=Adam Finley|publisher=TV Squad}}</ref> Star News Online named Hartman as one of the four hundred reasons why they loved ''The Simpsons'', adding that they missed McClure.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.wilmingtonstar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070520/NEWS/70518023/0/news36|title=400 reasons we love 'The Simpsons'|accessdate=2007-08-03|author=Jeff Hidek|publisher=Star News Online}}</ref> ''[[The Observer]]'' listed McClure educational films ''Smoke Yourself Thin''; ''Get Confident, Stupid!''; ''Firecrackers: the Silent Killer'' and ''Fuzzy Bunny's Guide to You-know-what'' as part of their list of the three hundred reasons why they loved the show.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://observer.guardian.co.uk/review/story/0,6903,939751,00.html|title=300 reasons why we love The Simpsons|accessdate=2007-08-03|date=[[2003-04-20]]|author=Euan Ferguson|publisher[[The Observer]]}}</ref>
