The Itchy & Scratchy Show Episode Information
Pun: None
Season: 2
First appearance: "Itchy & Scratchy & Marge"

"Porch Pals" is an episode of The Itchy & Scratchy Show. It was produced after Marge successfully managed to kill cartoon violence and rather than engaging in their usual violent antics, the duo get along.

It featured special introductory titles with a new theme song indicating the pair now "Love and Share" (Literally, you can see Itchy has a heart and Scratchy with some wrapped gifts) instead of "Fight and Bite".

Plot[edit]

Itchy and Scratchy on the porch, drinking lemonade.

This lovey-dovey Itchy and Scratchy cartoon is the antithesis to the violent Itchy and Scratchy cartoons. Itchy and Scratchy drink lemonade on the porch, dance together and at the end of the episode, Scratchy reads Itchy a bedtime story.

Reactions[edit]

The kids of Springfield universally detested the cartoon. The ones who saw the cartoon on TV went outside to engage in traditional wholesome childhood activities, and those in Krusty's studio audience walked out on him when he showed the cartoon.

Trivia[edit]

  • This was the first I&S cartoon where the pair actually speak, using radically different voices than heard later in the series and their eye pupils are much bigger than usual.
  • This is the first I&S episode where Itchy does not hurt and/or kill Scratchy
