When Lisa was in the game show ...Who Wants to Win a Pocketful of Quarters? one question she got was to name three educational filmstrips starring Troy McClure, and she answered Lead Paint: Delicious But Deadly, Fuzzy Bunny's Guide to You Know What and Alice's Adventures through the Windshield Glass.^[2]
