"'''22 Short Films About Springfield'''" is the twenty-first episode of The Simpsons' seventh season, airing on April 22, 1996. The title is a spin on the film Thirty Two Short Films About Glenn Gould.  Many fans have also noted that the episode also pays homage to Pulp Fiction by Quentin Terentino, mimicking the style of disjointed stories all coming together to form one plot, and more obviously, the discussion of McDonald's Restaurants and the scene in Melvin's Pawn Shop ("When Zed gets here..."). The episode also sparked the idea amongst the staff of a spin-off TV series Tales from Springfield, focusing on the town rather than the Simpsons family.
