| − | An '''untitled Itchy & Scratchy cartoon''' was shown to several [[Springfield]] kids as part of a focus group study in "[[The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show]]". Ratings of ''[[The Itchy & Scratchy Show]]'' were sagging, so executives from the show had the kids watch several cartoon clips in order to find out what kids thought was funny and in turn find out what they needed to do to improve the show.

| − | The kids found the cartoon to be very funny, but they liked '''everything''' they were shown. This presented the ''I&S'' executives with a problem: with no information about what kids didn't like, they had no idea what changes they needed to make to the show. [[Roger Meyers, Jr.]], who was in the observation booth, became frustrated and turned on the lights, revealing himself to the kids. He then yelled at the kids to "Just tell me what's wrong with the freakin' show!" [[Lisa Simpson]] then explained that there was nothing wrong with the show, but perhaps the characters were losing some impact after so many years. That gave Meyers the idea of introducing a new character, which turned out to be [[Poochie]].
