'''''The Buck Stops Everywhere''''' is a comic story featured in ''[[Simpsons Comics 78]]''. The comic later got reprinted in ''[[Simpsons Comics Dollar$ to Donuts]]''.<br />
<br />
== Plot ==<br />
The comic starts off in 1863 when [[Marge simpson|Marge]] is found painting the five dollar bill. Homer comes in to the room, whining that dinner is an hour late, when [[Abraham Lincoln|President Lincoln]] realises that he is late for the theatre (the night that he was murdered) and asks for Homer to cover for him, seeing as he had to stay until the painting was finished.<br />
We then follow the life of the first dollar bill, starting off with a competition in the [[Power Plant]], where employees have to improve the Power Plant most by the end of the day. [[Lenny]] and [[Carl Carlson|Carl]] both try, but end up damaging the Plant, so Homer wins by default. Homer receives the bill while he is asleep, and while admiring it, while driving to [[Moes Tavern|Moe's]] he is pulled up by [[Chief Wiggum]], who takes the five dollars.<br />
He later gives it to [[Ralph]], who is conned out of it by [[Bart]]. Bart pays his 'Krusty Fan Club Dues'. [[Krusty]] is in court, and pays [[Gil Gunderson|Gil]], his lawyer with it. Krusty is found guilty of permanently tattooing [[Milhouse]] with his Krusty Halloween Makeup Kit. Krusty snatches the money back and gives it to Milhouse. Milhouse goes to the [[Android's Dungeon & Baseball Card Shop|Comic Book Store]] to purchase a mask to hide his face. After finding and questioning why Bart has his own action figures, comic books and masks, [[Jeffrey Albertson|Comic Book Guy]] takes the money, and shoves a Bart mask on Milhouse, who ends up having to serve Bart's detention, which is doubled, as [[Principal Skinner]] thinks Milhouse is Bart and he skipped detention. Milhouse tries to explain, but the detention gets tripled for 'talking back'.<br />
Comic Book Guy then buys [[Stan Lee]]'s bones from [[Professor Frink]], who buys the finishing touches for his time machine. He then goes back in time to prevent the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Homer was at the theatre instead of President Lincoln. Frink then covered for Homer, and saved '''his''' life instead. Frink returns after saving Homer, as Lincoln was never in danger. He buys his lunch while mentioning that he prays he hasn't affected the future too much. The delivery man then mutters, "That cheapskate sure looked familiar." It then shows a five dollar bill with Frink dressed up as Abraham Lincoln.<br />

'''Andy Williams''' was a singer, who [[Nelson Muntz]] is a fan of.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
While on a road trip, Nelson makes [[Bart]] stop at [[Branson]], [[Missouri]] so he can see his hero, Andy Williams. Nelson burst into tears of joy when he sang "Moon River", saying "I didn't think he was going to sing "Moon River" and then BAM! second encore!".<ref>"[[Bart on the Road]]"</ref><br />
<br />
When Bart tells [[Nelson's cousins]] that Nelson likes Andy Williams, Bart becomes their leader.<ref>''[[25]]''</ref><br />
<br />
== Behind the Laughter ==<br />
*Williams songs have appeared in four ''Simpsons'' episodes:<br />
**"{{w|Speak Softly Love (Love Theme from The Godfather)}}" in "[[Homie the Clown]]"<br />
**"{{w|Moon River}}" in "[[Bart on the Road]]" and "[[Once Upon a Time in Springfield]]"<br />
**"{{w|Born Free (song)|Born Free}}" in "[[On a Clear Day I Can't See My Sister]]"<br />
*Williams mentioned ''[[The Simpsons]]'' twice in his [[2009]] autobiography ''Moon River & Me'':<br />
**When describing people's views of Branson, he quoted Bart Simpson from "[[Bart on the Road]]", saying that Branson is "[[Las Vegas|Vegas]] if it was run by [[Ned Flanders]]".<br />
**When talking about whether he'd been forgotten since moving to Branson, he wrote the following paragraph on his ''Simpsons'' appearance:<br />
{{desc|President [[Ronald Reagan]] was once kind enough to describe my voice as "a national treasure," and I've also had the accolade that every entertainer craves above all others: an appearance on ''The Simpsons''. It turns out that the show's resident bully, Nelson Muntz, is an Andy Williams fan. In the episode "Bart on the Road," in which Bart obtains a credit card, hires a car, and hits the road with his friends, Nelson forces them to stop in Branson so that he can see me in concert. He then bursts into tears of joy when I sing "Moon River." To quote a tear-stained Nelson: "I didn't think he was going to sing 'Moon River,' and then BAM! second encore!"}}<br />
*In real life, Andy Williams passed away on September 25, 2012, aged 84. "[[Moonshine River]]" was dedicated to him.<br />

'''Walter Seymour Skinner''' (born '''Armin Tamzarian'''), better known as '''Seymour Skinner''' and '''Principal Skinner''', is the interim principal of [[Springfield Elementary School]], and a stereotypical educational bureaucrat. He struggles to control the crumbling school and is constantly engaged in a battle against its inadequate resources, apathetic and bitter teachers, and often rowdy and unenthusiastic students, [[Bart Simpson]] being a standout example. A strict disciplinarian, Skinner has an uptight, militaristic attitude that stems from his years in the United States Army as a Green Beret, which included service in the Vietnam War, where he achieved the rank of a sergeant, according to his rank insignia.<br />
[[File:Skinners Sense of Snow.gif|thumb|266px|Principal Skinner with Groundskeeper Willie and Children]]<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
[[File:Unborn Seymour.png|thumb|left|An unborn Seymour Skinner]]<br />
Out of genuine concern for the quality of education of his students, most of Skinner's actions revolve around ensuring the school has adequate funding. His constant desperate, and usually ineffective attempts at maintaining discipline are an effort to receive good reviews from the frequent inspections of his very strict boss, [[Superintendent Chalmers]] - who makes no effort to hide his disapproval of Skinner. These inspections usually turn awry due to Bart Simpson's elaborate pranks—which play off Skinner's desperation for order. Over the years of pranks and inspections, though, Skinner has developed a love-hate relationship with each of them; when Skinner was fired and replaced by [[Ned Flanders]], Bart found pranks less meaningful, due to Flanders' lax approach to discipline.<ref>"[[Sweet Seymour Skinner's Baadasssss Song]]"</ref> In an accident involving both Skinner and Chalmers, Chalmers showed grief over Skinner before he realized he was still alive. Although he likes to maintain the image of a strict disciplinarian, he is often weak-willed and nervous and has a very unhealthy dependence on his mother who constantly makes demands from him. She addresses him by the nickname "Spanky." Also, it was heavily implied that Seymour Skinner suffers from posttraumatic stress disorder from his days in Vietnam, where he spent 18 months as a prisoner of war.<ref name="The Principal and the Pauper">"[[The Principal and the Pauper]]"</ref> Seeing his entire platoon devoured by an Elephant was one of the many things that led to the development of his posttraumatic stress disorder. He also expelled Bart for the prank which was realy caused by Groundskeeper Willie during the feast but he welcomes him back as an apology for blaming the Groundskeeper's prank which Bart happily accepts. When Otto starts spanking Bart as an act of corporal punishment he comes to aid Bart and suspends him driving the school bus. Skinner's unhealthy relationship with his mother began early: it is revealed that Agnes's pregnancy resulted in her failing to win a medal at the Helsinki Olympics in 1952.<ref>"[[Boy Meets Curl]]"</ref> He originally was quite laid back as a principal, even going as far as to do a jumpflip to catch a frisbee while telling a student to keep up with his studies, but it all changed when one of his students, [[Andy Hamilton]], managed to fill the pool with worms and locked Skinner in the pool for the whole weekend, causing him to become serious and almost merciless in his approach on rules, even going as far as to shut down the pool and demoting Willie, the swim teacher, to groundskeeper. When Bart attempted to stop Krusty from diving into a worm filled pool out of fear of Krusty becoming like Skinner, he accidentally blurted what happened to Skinner on the air, causing Skinner to angrily mutter sarcastically that his mother told him that Krusty the Clown was supposed to be a good influence, indicating that he was attempting to repress the traumatic memory. Besides his job as Principal for Springfield Elementary, he also worked as a member of MENSA, and was also the acting referee/a major organizer of the annual Civil War re-enactment of the Battle of Springfield.<br />
<br />
At one point, when the Vice President's Assessment Test was coming up, Skinner and Superintendent Chalmers came up with a plan to lure all of the underachievers away from the test day by faking a perfect score on the pretest and then tricking them into going for a Chopper ride to a Pizza Party in Capital City (going as far as to disguise the School Bus as a chopper). However, when the plan reached frutition, Skinner ended up betrayed by Superintendent Chalmers with the latter tricking Skinner into boarding the bus to "get his sunglasses." He then has to get the kids back to the school, and also saved Ralph Wiggum when he somehow managed to board a garbage barge, to which Skinner impresses Bart and the other underachievers by saving Wiggum using the Conservation of Angular Momentum. Luckily for them, the Garbage Barge was also heading to Springfield Elementary, so Skinner reads the newly motivated underachievers the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn the rest of the way, and after returning, cancels the Vice President's Test, and also reinstitutes dancing in school.<br />
<br />
=== Back-story ===<br />
Skinner's back-story is re-visited, revealing that Skinner is an impostor. Born Armin Tamzarian, he grew up in the [[433rd Street]] neighborhood of [[Capital City]]. He was a troubled orphan and rebellious teenager until he was forced into the United States Army during the Vietnam War. There, he was befriended by Sgt. Seymour Skinner, whom he came to idolize. When Sgt. Seymour Skinner was reported missing presumed dead, Tamzarian returned to Springfield to tell Skinner's mother, but she deliberately mistook him for Seymour, so he assumed his identity and followed Skinner's dream of becoming a school principal.<ref name="The Principal and the Pauper"/> It is revealed that Skinner (AKA Armin Tamzarian) was born in New Orleans. The real Seymour Skinner, had been alive after all, and briefly returned to Springfield to take his rightful place as Springfield Elementary School Principal, but had proved hopelessly unpopular and the Springfielders ran him out of town on the railroad. Judge Snyder granted Tamzarian Skinner's "name, and his past, present, future, and mother", and decreed that no one will mention his true identity again "under penalty of torture", thus everything returned to normal.<ref name="The Principal and the Pauper"/><br />
<br />
=== Romantic Relationships ===<br />
Aside from a short-lived relationship with [[Patty Bouvier]],<ref>"[[Principal Charming]]"</ref> Skinner's love life has focused on [[Edna Krabappel]]. The two dated for several years and became engaged, but later cancelled the wedding.<ref>"[[My Big Fat Geek Wedding]]"</ref> Edna has shown she does want to live a life with Skinner, but first wants him to commit to her—namely by not letting his mother, with whom he still lives, control him anymore.<ref>"[[Special Edna]]"</ref> It was established that Skinner had served as a sergeant in the US Army during the Vietnam War and been captured at the Battle of Khe Sanh. Skinner often seems weak-willed and easily suppressed—perhaps because he wants to avoid confrontation—but often will use his military command experience gained in the Vietnam War to get real respect and discipline; when he and the students were snowed-in at the school, he treated them like his squad to control the chaos temporarily—before they mutinied.<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
Skinner wears a blue suit, only one tie (orange), and a lavender shirt. He also wears blue slacks matching his suit. It is sometimes stated that he wears a toupee.<br />

== Character ==<br />
=== Creation ===<br />
Principal Skinner first appeared in "[[Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire]]", which was also the first ''Simpsons'' episode to air.<ref name="Roasting">[http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/simpsons/episodeguide/season1/page1.shtml Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire] ''BBC.co.uk''. Retrieved on March 2, 2007</ref> [[Matt Groening]] based him on "all the principals of [his] youth, rolled into one bland lump."<ref name=tvguide>{{cite news|title=Flash! 24 Simpsons Stars Reveal Themselves|accessdate=2007-08-15|date=2000-10-21|publisher=TV Guide|author=Joe Rhodes}}</ref> Writer [[Jon Vitti]] named him after behavioral psychologist B.F. Skinner.<ref name="Reiss1">{{cite video | people=Reiss, Mike|year=2002|title=The Simpsons season 2 DVD commentary for the episode "Principal Charming"| medium=DVD|publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref> Skinner was originally supposed to wear a toupee, but it was dropped because the writers didn't like "that type of joke".<ref name="Groening1">{{cite video | people=Groening, Matt|year=2002|title=The Simpsons season 2 DVD commentary for the episode "Principal Charming"| medium=DVD|publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref> The Simpsons Guide to Springfield did, however, briefly imply that Skinner did wear a toupee.<br />
<br />
=== Development ===<br />
In the first few seasons, Skinner resembles Norman Bates, the main character from Alfred Hitchcock's film ''Psycho''<ref>[http://www.simpsonsfolder.com/library/continuity.html Simpsonsfolder.com: Continuity]</ref> In later episodes, Skinner's behavior was based on teachers that [[Bill Oakley]] and [[Josh Weinstein]] had in high school.<ref name="Weinstein1">{{cite video | people=Weinstein, Josh|year=2005|title=The Simpsons season 5 DVD commentary for the episode "Sweet Seymour Skinner's Badaaasssss Song"| medium=DVD|publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref> <br />
<br />
[[Superintendent Chalmers]] was introduced in the episode "[[Whacking Day]]" as a boss for Skinner and Harry Shearer and [[Hank Azaria]], the voice of Chalmers, fell right into the characters and quite often ad-lib between them.<ref name="Jean1">{{cite video | people=Jean, Al|year=2004|title=The Simpsons season 4 DVD commentary for the episode "Whacking Day"| medium=DVD|publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref><br />
<br />
=== The Principal and the Pauper ===<br />
In the episode "[[The Principal and the Pauper]]", it was revealed that Skinner is actually Armin Tamzarian. Armin was a troubled orphan until he joined the Army and was befriended by [[Seymour Skinner (real)|Sgt. Skinner]], whom he came to idolize. Believing himself responsible for the real Skinner being killed, he returned to Springfield to tell Skinner's mother, but she (deliberately) mistook him for Seymour, and he followed the true Skinner's dream of becoming a school principal. At the end of the episode, [[Judge Snyder]] granted Tamzarian Skinner's "name, and his past, present, future, and mother," and decreed that no one will mention his true identity again under penalty of torture (this, after the Springfielders ran the real Seymour, voiced by [[Martin Sheen]]—who had been alive after all—out of town by way of railroad).<br />
<br />
The episode was negatively received by fans and critics over the sudden change of Skinner's backstory. During an interview, [[Harry Shearer]], the voice of Seymour Skinner publicly criticized the episode. He noted that he told the writers after reading the script: "That's so wrong. You're taking something that an audience has built eight years or nine years of investment in and just tossed it in the trash can for no good reason, for a story we've done before with other characters. It's so arbitrary and gratuitous, and it's disrespectful to the audience." In the introduction to the Season 9 DVD Boxset, [[Matt Groening]] described the episode as his "least favorite" and in a ''Rolling Stones'' interview, he called it a "mistake".<br />
<br />
''The Simpsons'' writers have occasionally mocked the inconsistencies in subsequent episodes, it was referenced in "[[Behind the Laughter]]" as a 'far-out plot line' to distract from the family's behind-the-cameras turmoil. When Lisa acquires [[Snowball V]] and declares, "To save money on a new dish, I'll call you [[Snowball II]]." Skinner says, "Isn't that a cheat?" to which Lisa replies, "I guess it is, Principal ''Tamzarian''." Skinner then replies, "I'll just be moving along", nods at Lisa and the new Snowball, and walks off. In the DVD commentary for "The Principal and the Pauper", the producers stated that they intended for the episode's ending to reset the continuity to before Skinner was revealed to be Tamzarian. As such, they said, fans could dismiss the discontinuities created by the notion that Skinner is actually an impostor and consider the episode on its own terms, divorced from the rest of the series.<br />

'''Walter Seymour Skinner''' (born '''Armin Tamzarian'''), better known as '''Seymour Skinner''' and '''Principal Skinner''', is the interim principal of [[Springfield Elementary School]], and a stereotypical educational bureaucrat. He struggles to control the crumbling school and is constantly engaged in a battle against its inadequate resources, apathetic and bitter teachers, and often rowdy and unenthusiastic students, [[Bart Simpson]] being a standout example. A strict disciplinarian, Skinner has an uptight, militaristic attitude that stems from his years in the United States Army as a Green Beret, which included service in the Vietnam War, where he achieved the rank of a sergeant, according to his rank insignia.<br />

<br />
== Biography ==<br />
[[File:Unborn Seymour.png|thumb|left|An unborn Seymour Skinner]]<br />
Out of genuine concern for the quality of education of his students, most of Skinner's actions revolve around ensuring the school has adequate funding. His constant desperate, and usually ineffective attempts at maintaining discipline are an effort to receive good reviews from the frequent inspections of his very strict boss, [[Superintendent Chalmers]] - who makes no effort to hide his disapproval of Skinner. These inspections usually turn awry due to Bart Simpson's elaborate pranks—which play off Skinner's desperation for order. Over the years of pranks and inspections, though, Skinner has developed a love-hate relationship with each of them; when Skinner was fired and replaced by [[Ned Flanders]], Bart found pranks less meaningful, due to Flanders' lax approach to discipline.<ref>"[[Sweet Seymour Skinner's Baadasssss Song]]"</ref> In an accident involving both Skinner and Chalmers, Chalmers showed grief over Skinner before he realized he was still alive. Although he likes to maintain the image of a strict disciplinarian, he is often weak-willed and nervous and has a very unhealthy dependence on his mother who constantly makes demands from him. She addresses him by the nickname "Spanky." Also, it was heavily implied that Seymour Skinner suffers from posttraumatic stress disorder from his days in Vietnam, where he spent 18 months as a prisoner of war.<ref name="The Principal and the Pauper">"[[The Principal and the Pauper]]"</ref> Seeing his entire platoon devoured by an Elephant was one of the many things that led to the development of his posttraumatic stress disorder. He also expelled Bart for the prank which was realy caused by Groundskeeper Willie during the feast but he welcomes him back as an apology for blaming the Groundskeeper's prank which Bart happily accepts. When Otto starts spanking Bart as an act of corporal punishment he comes to aid Bart and suspends him driving the school bus. Skinner's unhealthy relationship with his mother began early: it is revealed that Agnes's pregnancy resulted in her failing to win a medal at the Helsinki Olympics in 1952.<ref>"[[Boy Meets Curl]]"</ref> He originally was quite laid back as a principal, even going as far as to do a jumpflip to catch a frisbee while telling a student to keep up with his studies, but it all changed when one of his students, [[Andy Hamilton]], managed to fill the pool with worms and locked Skinner in the pool for the whole weekend, causing him to become serious and almost merciless in his approach on rules, even going as far as to shut down the pool and demoting Willie, the swim teacher, to groundskeeper. When Bart attempted to stop Krusty from diving into a worm filled pool out of fear of Krusty becoming like Skinner, he accidentally blurted what happened to Skinner on the air, causing Skinner to angrily mutter sarcastically that his mother told him that Krusty the Clown was supposed to be a good influence, indicating that he was attempting to repress the traumatic memory. Besides his job as Principal for Springfield Elementary, he also worked as a member of MENSA, and was also the acting referee/a major organizer of the annual Civil War re-enactment of the Battle of Springfield.<br />
<br />
At one point, when the Vice President's Assessment Test was coming up, Skinner and Superintendent Chalmers came up with a plan to lure all of the underachievers away from the test day by faking a perfect score on the pretest and then tricking them into going for a Chopper ride to a Pizza Party in Capital City (going as far as to disguise the School Bus as a chopper). However, when the plan reached frutition, Skinner ended up betrayed by Superintendent Chalmers with the latter tricking Skinner into boarding the bus to "get his sunglasses." He then has to get the kids back to the school, and also saved Ralph Wiggum when he somehow managed to board a garbage barge, to which Skinner impresses Bart and the other underachievers by saving Wiggum using the Conservation of Angular Momentum. Luckily for them, the Garbage Barge was also heading to Springfield Elementary, so Skinner reads the newly motivated underachievers the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn the rest of the way, and after returning, cancels the Vice President's Test, and also reinstitutes dancing in school.<br />
<br />
=== Back-story ===<br />
Skinner's back-story is re-visited, revealing that Skinner is an impostor. Born Armin Tamzarian, he grew up in the [[433rd Street]] neighborhood of [[Capital City]]. He was a troubled orphan and rebellious teenager until he was forced into the United States Army during the Vietnam War. There, he was befriended by Sgt. Seymour Skinner, whom he came to idolize. When Sgt. Seymour Skinner was reported missing presumed dead, Tamzarian returned to Springfield to tell Skinner's mother, but she deliberately mistook him for Seymour, so he assumed his identity and followed Skinner's dream of becoming a school principal.<ref name="The Principal and the Pauper"/> It is revealed that Skinner (AKA Armin Tamzarian) was born in New Orleans. The real Seymour Skinner, had been alive after all, and briefly returned to Springfield to take his rightful place as Springfield Elementary School Principal, but had proved hopelessly unpopular and the Springfielders ran him out of town on the railroad. Judge Snyder granted Tamzarian Skinner's "name, and his past, present, future, and mother", and decreed that no one will mention his true identity again "under penalty of torture", thus everything returned to normal.<ref name="The Principal and the Pauper"/><br />
<br />
=== Romantic Relationships ===<br />
Aside from a short-lived relationship with [[Patty Bouvier]],<ref>"[[Principal Charming]]"</ref> Skinner's love life has focused on [[Edna Krabappel]]. The two dated for several years and became engaged, but later cancelled the wedding.<ref>"[[My Big Fat Geek Wedding]]"</ref> Edna has shown she does want to live a life with Skinner, but first wants him to commit to her—namely by not letting his mother, with whom he still lives, control him anymore.<ref>"[[Special Edna]]"</ref> It was established that Skinner had served as a sergeant in the US Army during the Vietnam War and been captured at the Battle of Khe Sanh. Skinner often seems weak-willed and easily suppressed—perhaps because he wants to avoid confrontation—but often will use his military command experience gained in the Vietnam War to get real respect and discipline; when he and the students were snowed-in at the school, he treated them like his squad to control the chaos temporarily—before they mutinied.<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
Skinner wears a blue suit, only one tie (orange), and a lavender shirt. He also wears blue slacks matching his suit. It is sometimes stated that he wears a toupee.<br />

=== Treehouse of Horror ===<br />
In "[[Treehouse of Horror XIV]]", Skinner's skeletal system is ripped out by the regenerated body of [[Jonathan Frink Sr.|Professor Frink's father]]. In [[Treehouse of Horror V]], Skinner, and the rest of the faculty start eating students, with [[Jimbo Jones]] being the first victim. the last survivors were [[Lisa]], [[Bart]], and [[Milhouse]].<br />

=== Video Games ===<br />
==== The Simpsons: Hit and Run ====<br />
In "[[The Simpsons: Hit & Run]]", Homer delivers Lisa her school project, because she has forgotten it. He drives quicker than Skinner to the school. The next day Skinner chases [[Bart]] on his car after he skips school. His [[Agnes Skinner|mother]] can be seen sitting in the back seat. Later, he confiscates a laser gun from [[Bart]] and [[Bart]] has to destroy his car to get it back.<br />
<br />
==== The Simpsons Game ====<br />
In "[[The Simpsons Game]]", he hires [[Dolph]], [[Jimbo]] and [[Kearney]] to steal artifacts from the Springfield Museum for the school (as he couldn't get any science stuff the legal way due to lack of funds), till they are stopped by [[Homer]] and [[Bart]]. He also takes part of an angry mob led by [[Marge Simpson]] and [[Lisa Simpson]], recruited near the museum, implying that he was planning another heist when Marge's mob came around the corner.<br />

== Character ==<br />
=== Creation ===<br />
Principal Skinner first appeared in "[[Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire]]", which was also the first ''Simpsons'' episode to air.<ref name="Roasting">[http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/simpsons/episodeguide/season1/page1.shtml Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire] ''BBC.co.uk''. Retrieved on March 2, 2007</ref> [[Matt Groening]] based him on "all the principals of [his] youth, rolled into one bland lump."<ref name=tvguide>{{cite news|title=Flash! 24 Simpsons Stars Reveal Themselves|accessdate=2007-08-15|date=2000-10-21|publisher=TV Guide|author=Joe Rhodes}}</ref> Writer [[Jon Vitti]] named him after behavioral psychologist B.F. Skinner.<ref name="Reiss1">{{cite video | people=Reiss, Mike|year=2002|title=The Simpsons season 2 DVD commentary for the episode "Principal Charming"| medium=DVD|publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref> Skinner was originally supposed to wear a toupee, but it was dropped because the writers didn't like "that type of joke".<ref name="Groening1">{{cite video | people=Groening, Matt|year=2002|title=The Simpsons season 2 DVD commentary for the episode "Principal Charming"| medium=DVD|publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref> The Simpsons Guide to Springfield did, however, briefly imply that Skinner did wear a toupee.<br />
<br />
=== Development ===<br />
In the first few seasons, Skinner resembles Norman Bates, the main character from Alfred Hitchcock's film ''Psycho''<ref>[http://www.simpsonsfolder.com/library/continuity.html Simpsonsfolder.com: Continuity]</ref> In later episodes, Skinner's behavior was based on teachers that [[Bill Oakley]] and [[Josh Weinstein]] had in high school.<ref name="Weinstein1">{{cite video | people=Weinstein, Josh|year=2005|title=The Simpsons season 5 DVD commentary for the episode "Sweet Seymour Skinner's Badaaasssss Song"| medium=DVD|publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref> <br />
<br />
[[Superintendent Chalmers]] was introduced in the episode "[[Whacking Day]]" as a boss for Skinner and Harry Shearer and [[Hank Azaria]], the voice of Chalmers, fell right into the characters and quite often ad-lib between them.<ref name="Jean1">{{cite video | people=Jean, Al|year=2004|title=The Simpsons season 4 DVD commentary for the episode "Whacking Day"| medium=DVD|publisher=20th Century Fox}}</ref><br />
<br />
=== The Principal and the Pauper ===<br />
In the episode "[[The Principal and the Pauper]]", it was revealed that Skinner is actually Armin Tamzarian. Armin was a troubled orphan until he joined the Army and was befriended by [[Seymour Skinner (real)|Sgt. Skinner]], whom he came to idolize. Believing himself responsible for the real Skinner being killed, he returned to Springfield to tell Skinner's mother, but she (deliberately) mistook him for Seymour, and he followed the true Skinner's dream of becoming a school principal. At the end of the episode, [[Judge Snyder]] granted Tamzarian Skinner's "name, and his past, present, future, and mother," and decreed that no one will mention his true identity again under penalty of torture (this, after the Springfielders ran the real Seymour, voiced by [[Martin Sheen]]—who had been alive after all—out of town by way of railroad).<br />
<br />
The episode was negatively received by fans and critics over the sudden change of Skinner's backstory. During an interview, [[Harry Shearer]], the voice of Seymour Skinner publicly criticized the episode. He noted that he told the writers after reading the script: "That's so wrong. You're taking something that an audience has built eight years or nine years of investment in and just tossed it in the trash can for no good reason, for a story we've done before with other characters. It's so arbitrary and gratuitous, and it's disrespectful to the audience." In the introduction to the Season 9 DVD Boxset, [[Matt Groening]] described the episode as his "least favorite" and in a ''Rolling Stones'' interview, he called it a "mistake".<br />
<br />
''The Simpsons'' writers have occasionally mocked the inconsistencies in subsequent episodes, it was referenced in "[[Behind the Laughter]]" as a 'far-out plot line' to distract from the family's behind-the-cameras turmoil. When Lisa acquires [[Snowball V]] and declares, "To save money on a new dish, I'll call you [[Snowball II]]." Skinner says, "Isn't that a cheat?" to which Lisa replies, "I guess it is, Principal ''Tamzarian''." Skinner then replies, "I'll just be moving along", nods at Lisa and the new Snowball, and walks off. In the DVD commentary for "The Principal and the Pauper", the producers stated that they intended for the episode's ending to reset the continuity to before Skinner was revealed to be Tamzarian. As such, they said, fans could dismiss the discontinuities created by the notion that Skinner is actually an impostor and consider the episode on its own terms, divorced from the rest of the series.<br />

"'''Sunday, Cruddy Sunday'''" is the twelfth episode of [[season 10]]. It originally aired on January 31, 1999. The episode was written by [[Tom Martin]], [[George Meyer]], [[Brian Scully]] and [[Mike Scully]]. [[Steven Dean Moore]] directed.<br />
<br />
== Synopsis ==<br />
[[Homer Simpson|Homer]] meets a travel agent named [[Wally Kogen]] who offers to send him to the Super Bowl for free if he can sign up all of his friends for a special travel package. Homer convinces [[Moe Szyslak|Moe]], [[Barney Gumble|Barney]], [[Lenny Leonard|Lenny]], [[Carl Carlson|Carl]], [[Kirk Van Houten]] and a bunch of other guys to sign up. All the men pile into a bus Wally furnishes for the trip and drink their way to Miami for the game. When they get there, however, they discover that the tickets Wally sold them were counterfeit.<br />
<br />
== Plot ==<br />
When Springfield Elementary takes a field trip to the local post office, they are offered some undelivered mail as favors (And as a bribe to keep quiet about seeing mailmen open letters and take money inside). Bart ends up finding a savings book and gives it to Homer for his birthday. Homer is amazed at what the books has in store and "paints the town red" with the savings. He goes to get his tires balanced when he is conned by the mechanic that he can't leave with buying new tires. In the waiting room, he meets a travel agent, Wally Kogan, who was&nbsp;also suckered into getting new tires. They go to Moe's where they see a promo for the Super Bowl on TV and yearn for it. Wally reveals he's got a charter bus headed there and if Homer can fill it up, he will get to go to the big game. Homer fills up his list and he, Wally, Bart and a group of Springfield males are off to the game.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Marge and Lisa fight their boredom by playing with the "[[Vincent Price's Egg Magic]]". They soon discover that the box is "feet-less" and call up the company for replacements.<br />
<br />
Once at the game, and after enjoying the pre-game fun, the gang goes to the entrance of the stadium only to find that their tickets are phoney (and are printed on some type of cracker). Bart then spots the Super Bowl Halftime costumes and they seize the opportunity...to use them to knock the guards down and run inside. They are soon caught and put it the stadium jail.[[File:SundayCruddySunday02.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Marge and Lisa painting faces on eggs in a subplot.]]<br />
<br />
The crew starts kicking Homer in the rear end when Dolly Parton wanders by. Having being a friend of Wally's (since he books a lot of trips to Dollywood and Euro Dollywood) she offers to help them out by combusting the lock with her own brand of makeup remover. Now free, the boys set out to find seats. After running around screaming for an hour, they wander upon a skybox and decide to eat the food rather than watch the game. Soon after, Rupert Murdoch flys in via helicoper and forces them out his skybox. They see an entrance to the field and head for it, but are pushed backwards by the winning team into their locker room and get to celebrate with them. After a day of excitement, the boys get on their bus and head for home, with Homer stealling the Super Bowl trophy.<br />
<br />
As soon as their bus leaves, John Madden and Pat Summerall comment on the episode, praising the character of Wally and the "B-story" and showing extreme dislike of the fact that despite being a Super Bowl episode with Dolly Parton, little or no football or singing was shown. Just then, a bus arrives...with Vincent Price as the driver!<br />
<br />
== Production ==<br />
<br />
This episode was shown after the Super Bowl. The writers though that the audience would be "footballed-out" by then, so they used that as a cheat for not showing any football. Also, the episode was animated before the actual Super Bowl, so to be as accurate as they could be with the teams, they used the passing of the beer mug to accurately give the names of the teams without having to reanimate the scene.<br />
<br />
The writers were also impressed with the voice impression [[Dan Castellaneta]] did of {{W|Vincent Price}}, so they decided to use his character again at the end of the episode.<br />
