“Oh brother, where art thou?”
-Title

Unwrapped
-Under the Wrapper

The Iceman Cometh
-The Iceman Killeth

South Park
-Bart, Milhouse, Nelson, and Ralph dressed as the boys of South Park
-Ralph having a “Kenny Death” situation

Tic Tacs
-Tac Tics

Sex and the City
-Bart’s fantasy of him having three sisters (with Kim Catrell as the
third sister)

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
-Island of Misfit Boys

Saw
-Sever V
-Killer in Sever V resembles the Jigsaw Killer

Goofs.

Unless the Simpsons live south of the Equator, there’s no way a
blizzard can take place around the same time of the Creative Emmy
Awards (as they usually take place in September sometime before the
major Emmy Awards).

Comments

MUSIC ALERT
-Get Together by The Youngbloods (music in Bart’s “brother” dream)
-The Carnival of the Animals (montage of Bart and Charlie bonding
together)

As for why the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour went off the air, the
reason that CBS cancelled the show is the correct reason, with the
network’s reason being that the Smothers refused to meet pre-air
delivery dates to the censors.

Did the Smithers Brothers replace the Smothers Brothers or am I
getting my timeline confused?

Just got around to watching it. Is this the first time that "The
Simpsons" have acknowledged the existence of another cartoon series?
(I'm referring to the South Park style kids waiting at the school bus
stop bit.)

They've certainly referenced Japanese anime (from home, and of course
the time they went to Japan). "Davy & Goliath" appeared once, though
that was stop-motion not cartoon. There have been a fair number of
references to Charlie Brown. I'm sure there have been others.

What seemed to set it apart last night was that it wasn't something the
family was watching, but the kids were set up like South Park. I thought
it was unusual, didn't catch the reference until they killed Kenny.

IIRC, King of the Hill?
Oh, Futurama and Ren & Stimpy of course.

...That was the excuse. The real reason that, in the end only Nixon
continued to deny it, was that the SmoBros were canned because they
made way too many stabs at Nixon and the Vietnam War. That was the
reason for See-BS wanting the shows in almost two weeks before airdate
so they could be censored. Tommy brought them in about an hour before
airtime, and the network was forced to run them as-is or have an
hour-long hole for that night - affiliates have "evergreen" emergency
filler shows, networks do not by a general rule. Although the last
show didn't skewer Nixon at all, the pressure from the White House to
ax the show was put on Bill Paley, and he eventually gave in and
canned the Brothers. Most SmoBro fans view Watergate as just his karma
coming back to run over his dogma.

Been there, done that. Jay Sherman already appeared on The Simpsons.

Yes. http://www.snpp.com/episodes/2F31.html

I believe that was the point I was making.
