# The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show

The Simpsons, season 8, episode 14 (S08E14), first aired February 9, 1997.
Written by David X. Cohen. Directed by Steven Dean Moore. Production code 4F12.
Guest stars: Phil Hartman as Troy McClure; Alex Rocco as Roger Meyers Jr..
Couch gag: Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band couch gag, The Flintstones couch gag (syndicated episodes).

With Itchy & Scratchy's ratings slipping, studio head Roger Meyers Jr. adds a new dog character, Poochie, and Homer wins the audition to voice him alongside June Bellamy, the actress behind Itchy and Scratchy. Poochie's debut is a flop that viewers despise, and the staff want him gone. Homer records his own plea for a second chance, but the studio dubs in new dialogue that kills Poochie off instead.

Opening title sequence of The Simpsons: a black screen gives way to a blue sky with drifting clouds, and the yellow title text 'THE SIMPSONS' appears over them. The scene then cuts to the Simpson family's driveway in front of their yellow house with an open garage, where a pink car sits with Bart standing on its roof holding a skateboard, and Homer, a bald heavy man in a white shirt and blue pants, stands beside the car with his hands out at his sides. A mailbox sits on the lawn at the lower left, and Lisa's figure is seen in the back seat window of the car as the scene plays out.

Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and baby Maggie stand with a large crowd of townspeople on a lawn behind a red couch, with a wheel and the pink donut-letter Simpsons logo in front, while Santa's Little Helper and Snowball II sit nearby. The family's group pose holds as the scene cuts to a pink-framed TV screen reading "Created by Matt Groening" in yellow letters on blue. The TV then shows "Developed by James L. Brooks, Matt Groening, Sam Simon" in the same style.

## 0:23–0:28

Krusty the Clown, with green hair and a red nose, stands in front of red and gold curtains and is covered in white foam pie cream, with a grey bucket-like hat on his head. The first frames are almost fully black, and then he appears with his mouth open in a wide grin, pie cream splattered across his face and body. In the last frame he is still grinning, with the foam slightly shifted and bits of cream flying off around him, while the pie-covered clown's arms and cream-covered gloves remain near his sides.

## 0:28–0:39

Krusty the Clown stands alone on a circus stage before red and gold curtains, with a striped ball and a drum beside him, his green-haired head, white suit and green pants smeared with cream and pie tins scattered across the floor. He grins, spreads his arms wide, then raises a pie tin high in a gleeful pose as cream drips from his clothes and his mouth opens in laughter. White on-screen credits appear in turn, naming Co-Executive Producers Mike Scully and Steve Tompkins and Supervising Producer Jonathan Collier.

> I hope you enjoyed my one-man pie fight, kids.
> Now it's time for another fenshmabulous episode of...

## 0:39–0:52

Itchy, the blue mouse in an orange shirt, and Scratchy, the black cat with a grey belly, appear in a cartoon titled "Itchy & Scratchy in Why Do Fools Fall in Lava?" that opens with a yellow title card and a purple volcano with a platform at its summit. On a wooden boardwalk in front of a sky-orange backdrop and a sign reading "VOLCANO BUNGEE JUMP $5", Itchy holds a knife while Scratchy stands with arms out, then Itchy lunges at Scratchy and Scratchy's belly splits open. Scratchy then stumbles away with a rope trailing from his tail, which is tied to a knot, while Itchy is caught behind him, with credits such as "Supervising Producer Ken Keeler", "David S. Cohen" and "Richard Appel" appearing over the scenes.

## 0:52–1:02

A blue mouse in an orange shirt stands on a wooden plank above a bubbling red pit in a purple cave, holding a pale rope that leads down to a black cat dangling over the red. The cat, mouth open with a plate of food on its belly, then hangs upside down on the rope above the red floor, and a black cat with a red eye appears beside a tall figure in a dark suit with a grey collar as the on-screen text "Consulting Producer DAN McGRATH" appears. The scene ends on the pale rope running down through the purple rock.

A blue cartoon mouse with a bulbous nose and an orange vest pours gas from a silver can through a funnel on a wooden fence, beside a black cartoon cat with red eyes and a white-gloved hand, under a partly visible sign reading "BUR" and "U". The black cat then tumbles upside down, its head in its gloved hands, and bursts into flames that spread over its body as it falls past purple rock walls toward a bubbling red lava pool. The scene cuts to a boxy television screen, framed in blue, showing the same purple cavern and glowing lava.

## 1:10–1:20

Marge Simpson, with her tall blue beehive, stands in the living room beside the sofa and rug, then appears in the kitchen doorway while Lisa, reading a magazine with a 'Wow' cover, and Bart, eating from a bowl, sit at the blue-covered table. Marge stands looking toward the children as white captions for 'Consulting Producer David Mirkin' and 'Consultant John Swartzwelder' appear across the bottom of the screen.

> Kids?
> You're missing their Chin Scratchy show.
> Don't you like it anymore?

## 1:20–1:25

Lisa Simpson sits at a blue kitchen table in front of a bowl, with a spoon in her hand, a pearl necklace on, and a box of Frosty Krusty Flakes cereal showing Krusty the Clown beside her. In the first two views she looks off to the side with her spoon near the bowl, then she grins widely and eats while holding the spoon at the bowl's edge. In the last views she lifts the spoon, chews with a tight, clenched expression, and glances sideways. Shelves of dishes and a white rooster figurine with the number 33 sit in the background, and white credit captions appear across the lower part of the scene, first reading 'Co-Producer COLIN A.B.V. LEWIS' and then 'Produced by J. MICHAEL MENDEL'.

> Sure, we love it. But how can we watch TV when it's so beautiful out?

## 1:25–1:37

Marge Simpson, tall with a blue beehive and a red bead necklace, and Bart Simpson, the spiky-haired boy in an orange shirt, are in the kitchen at a blue table with a bowl and spoon in front of Bart. Marge stands beside him at first, then leans in and wraps her arms around him from behind while Bart sits with his chin resting on his hand and a sullen, unimpressed look. The kitchen has a white appliance, a wall rack with a fork and spoon, and a yellow curtain. Credits appear on screen in white lettering, first reading 'Produced by Richard Raynis' and then 'David Silverman', and later 'Written by David S. Cohen' over the final moments.

> Well, yeah, Mom. I mean, we love you and Dad too,
> but God knows we don't need to see you every day.
> An occasional hug is all I ask.
> Mom, you can hug me when I'm asleep.
> I do.

## 1:37–1:41

The scene opens at the Krustylu Studios entrance, with its arched sign, a small gate booth marked Gate 1, and a striped barrier beyond. A stocky, blue-haired man in a green jacket, carrying a grey briefcase with a rat logo, walks up to an orange door labeled Krusty the Clown and stops to read a note pinned to it reading Cleaning Crew: The liquor is not for you. He then reaches for the doorknob and tries to open the door.

## 1:41–1:54

Krusty the Clown, with green hair, a red nose, white gloves, a pink shirt and a blue bow tie, stands in an office facing a man in a brown suit and red tie who holds a briefcase printed with the Itchy & Scratchy logo and chews on a cigar. Krusty first looks at the man, then turns toward him, and in the last frames he angrily points a gloved finger at him while gesturing. Behind them a wall chart labeled RATINGS shows a red line sloping downward, and framed pictures hang on the lavender wall.

> Hey, Crusty, you look great.
> You get your teeth bleached? Yeah, it's a new kind of polymer treatment.
> Hey, shut up!
> You're here because your itchy and scratchy cartoons are stinking up my ratings.
> Look at this breakdown of yesterday's show.

## 1:54–2:07

Krusty the Clown, with green hair, red nose, pink shirt and blue bow tie, stands beside a heavyset man with blue hair and an olive jacket and red tie in a plain studio before a RATINGS board. Krusty gestures with his white-gloved hands and points at the red line graph, which dips sharply, while the man stands with his hand on his hip and eyes half-closed. A large white-gloved finger first points at the chart, whose time markings read 4:00, 4:05 and 4:10, and the scene then cuts between the two men and the graph.

> Huh?
> Huh? Eww, kaboom! What happened here? Lightning hit the transmitter?
> See, that's what I thought at first, but the...
> Hey, shut up! That crater is where your lousy cartoon crash-landed.
> Its ratings poison!

Krusty the Clown, with green hair and a red nose, and a heavy man with blue hair, an olive jacket and a cigar stand in a purple office beside a wall chart labeled "ATINGS" with times 4:25, 4:30 and 4:35. Krusty shouts and gestures angrily, then dashes to a white pedestal to grab a small figurine, and returns to stand behind a wooden desk, spreading his arms wide while holding a clock. Shelves behind him display Krusty merchandise, including a "Krusty Show" poster, a Krusty lunchbox, a clock and a "Krusty Alone" album cover, with a television on the wall.

> But Itchy and Scratchy is critically acclaimed.
> Acclaimed?!

## 2:18–2:25

Krusty the Clown sits at his desk in his office, green-haired and wearing a pink shirt, blue bow tie and white gloves, gesturing with his hands, then scribbling on paper and holding a pen. He turns and points his pen toward a heavyset man with blue hair, a brown suit and a red tie, who stands scowling in front of a ratings chart. Visible objects and text include a Krusty alarm clock, a 'KRUSTY' lunchbox, a 'WEEKDAYS AT 4:00!' sign, a 'KRUSTY' poster, and a red line dropping across a chart labeled with times 4:25, 4:30 and 4:35.

> But I'm a lazy, lazy man, Roger.
> So I'll give you one more chance.
> Get out!
> Don't come back till you fixed Itchy and Scratchy.

## 2:25–2:37

A man with blue hair, glasses and an olive-green sweater walks past a wooden counter in a purple room, carrying a metal briefcase toward an orange door, beneath a poster reading "Krusty Komics featuring Mr. Teeny." Beyond the open doorway, a shirtless, thin man with teal hair and a bone stuck through it sits on an orange couch holding a can, then stands up in a green grass skirt as paper litters the blue carpet. Framed pictures hang on the walls and an orange armchair sits at the right edge.

> Okay, Mel, you can go in now.
> Krusty, I've come to solicit donations for the Rock and Roll Museum.

## 2:37–2:50

A shirtless man in a green grass skirt stands in a doorway holding a can beside a Krusty's Canes poster, then the scene shifts to the outside of the pink Springfield Mall next to Hailstone's. Inside, Marge Simpson pushes Maggie's stroller past a clothing rack and a sign reading Credit Dept while Bart, with raised hands, talks to Lisa, who wears a pearl necklace and an orange dress and looks on.

> And I'll come back later.
> I need to purchase a brassiere.
> You kids wait over here in the credit department.
> Oh, can't we just wander around and meet you back here later?

## 2:50–3:01

Marge, Lisa and Bart stand in a store aisle with clothing racks and displays while Lisa and Bart look toward a man with a thin grey moustache and a green sweater, who is a one-off character not in the regulars' description. Marge stands tall with her blue beehive and green dress, Lisa in her red-orange skirt and pearl necklace, and Bart in his orange shirt and blue shorts. The man crouches and speaks to the children beside a wooden display marked with a CLEARANCE sign, and the kids then turn and stand side by side, looking up and talking together while racks of colorful clothes and shelves of folded goods stay in view.

> Okay, just be careful.
> Would you kids like to come with me?
> Sounds good to me. I guess so.

## 3:01–3:11

Lisa, Bart and Milhouse sit at a long table with push-button response boxes beside a freckled redheaded boy, a blonde girl with pigtails and a brown-haired woman, under a sign reading Mall Conference Room and a Focus Group schedule. A mustached man in a green jacket with his hands in his pockets stands in the Audience Research hallway while a taller man watches through the window, and the seated kids grin and raise their hands, with Bart and Lisa cheering excitedly. The moment ends with the kids smiling eagerly over the row of buttons and connected cables.

> All right, thanks for participating in our focus group, kids.
> Today, we're gonna show you some itchy and scratchy cartoons.
> Yeah!
> Cool!

## 3:11–3:18

In a bright blue Audience Research room, a row of seated audience members, including Bart and Lisa, sits behind a long white table with a rack of headphones on its edge, while a moustached man in an olive-green sweater and grey trousers stands at right. Through the window behind them a second man in a similar sweater watches. Over the moment the standing man stands still with his hands down, then gestures toward the window with a pointing hand, then spreads both arms wide with an open mouth, and finally gestures outward again with open palms as the seated row keeps watching. The sign above the window reads "AUDIENCE RESEARC".

> We want you to tell us what you think, and be honest,
> because no one from the show is here spying on you.

## 3:18–3:30

Lisa, with her spiky yellow hair and pearl necklace, sits at a long counter beside Bart at the left edge and another spiky-haired girl, while a moustached man in a green zip jacket and a second moustached man in a mustard-yellow jacket lean over the row of grey knobs in a blue room. The man in green gestures with open hands as the two men talk and turn toward the children, and then the pair stands outside a building with a RESEARCH sign, the green-jacketed man's hand on his companion's shoulder and the cracked glass panel beside them.

> Why is that mirror sneezing? Uh, look, it's just an old creaky mirror.
> You know, sometimes it sounds a little like it's sneezing or coughing or talking softly.
> Hmm... Now, you each have a knob in front of you.

## 3:30–3:43

Bart and Lisa sit at the back of a classroom with a chalkboard while a man with a moustache and a green cardigan holds up a small grey device with a dial and waves his other hand. A boy with a bowl-cut of blond hair in a teal shirt raises his hand and speaks at his desk, which has a grey box with red and green lights and a knob, while a girl with a blond braid and pink bow watches. The man's green sleeve then reaches over and presses against the boy's face, stopping him from talking.

> When you like what you see, turn the knob to the right.
> When you don't like what you see, turn it left.
> My knob tastes funny.
> Please refrain from testing the knob.

## 3:43–3:54

Ned Flanders, with his moustache, glasses and green sweater, stands in a living room pointing a remote at a dark television, while Lisa, Bart and Marge, seen from behind, watch from the foreground along with another brown-haired woman on the right. On the TV, a blue mouse in an orange shirt leans over a green pool table in a yellow room, lining up a cue shot as a black cat with a red collar watches from across the table. The cat then leans over the felt among scattered balls, and finally covers its face with its white gloved hands, peeking through one eye, while a red lampshade hangs above the table.

A row of children sits at a long grey console with push buttons: a boy in a blue shirt on the far left, a girl with pigtails and a pink bow, Nelson in his orange shirt and blue vest, Milhouse in his blue cap and glasses, Bart in his orange shirt, and Lisa with her star-shaped hair at the far right, all pressing their buttons. A monitor in front of them shows a muscular, grey-haired bodybuilder in blue briefs flexing on a pink beach with palm trees, first striking a pose with one arm raised and then with both arms lifted above his head. In the final moment the view moves in close, with Nelson grinning and reaching across to press a button beside a worried-looking Milhouse, whose eyes are wide.

> Oh, no!
> Hey, quit it!

Ralph Wiggum, a girl with blonde pigtails, Nelson in his vest, Milhouse in red glasses, Bart and Lisa sit in a row at a table with wired push-button panels while an unnamed man in a green sweater stands at the end and presses a button. Mr. Burns, in a green jacket and red tie, leans over a beige computer with Smithers in glasses and a white lab coat and a woman with brown curly hair in a lab coat, gesturing and speaking as Smithers types. The room has blue walls and a window, and the panels are linked to a power strip on the table.

An unnamed man with a moustache, brown hair and a green zip-up jacket stands in front of a building with a partly visible "...CE RESEARCH" sign, first gesturing with open hands and then turning to point toward a blue door at the right. The children watch him and wave their arms while he talks, and the scene stays in front of the research building.

Lenny, Carl, Nelson, Milhouse, Bart and Lisa sit in a row at a table of push-button consoles in a room labeled AUDIENCE RESEARCH, with Ned Flanders standing at right in a green sweater and Mr. Burns and Smithers behind the observation window. Milhouse reaches out to poke Bart's nose while the others watch the window, then Mr. Burns, in a dark suit, steps forward and raises a finger to speak while Ned stands by. The red and green lights on the buttons are visible throughout the scene.

> That's right. Oh, yeah, good. And also, you should win things by watching.

A thin, stooped man with a hooked nose, blue side hair, a green suit and a red tie raises both hands in alarm, and then the scene moves to a room marked AUDIENCE RESEARCH where a row of seated viewers sits behind a table fitted with dial boxes while a man in a green jacket stands outside a glass window. At the table, a bald man in a light blue shirt yawns and then slumps forward onto his dial box, its green and red lights glowing, as a blonde girl with braids, pink bows and pink overalls looks on glumly.

## 4:59–5:10

Lisa Simpson, the girl with star-shaped spiky hair, wearing a red dress and a pearl necklace, stands in a bright blue room beside a mirror and speaks to her reflection, which mirrors her pose and expression. Her reflection gestures with its hands and looks pensive, then lowers its eyes and frowns while Lisa stays facing it. Partly visible at the left edge are Bart, in an orange shirt with spiky hair, and a dome-shaped green object on a table with black cables. Beside the mirror, a small figure of Maggie with a pacifier and blue bow peeks from the edge of the frame at the right.

## 5:10–5:20

Lisa Simpson, in her orange skirt and pearl necklace, stands in a pale blue room facing a glass pane, where she first looks at a copy of herself and then turns toward Mr. Burns, a frail, stooped old man in a green jacket and red tie who leans toward her from behind the glass. Burns raises his hands, presses them to his face, then smiles and bends closer while Lisa watches, and Smithers, his thin assistant in glasses and a grey suit, steps up holding a briefcase and grips Burns's shoulder as Burns holds up a white sheet of paper. A small table with a draped cloth sits at the left edge of the room.

> That's it.
> That's it, little girl. You saved Itchy and Scratchy.
> Please sign these papers indicating that you did not save Itchy and Scratchy.

Mr. Burns, a frail, stooped old man with a hooked nose and grey hair at the sides, stands at the head of a long conference table where Krusty the clown and several men sit in chairs, including a red-plaid-shirted man with swept-back reddish hair. Burns then stands before three seated men, a bearded man in a blue hat and green shirt, a man in plaid with glasses, and a man in a blue shirt with a red patch, and he jabs his finger at the blue-shirted man's head, then turns to the group with an open-palmed, smiling gesture. Behind them hangs a wall-mounted monitor and cabinets, and outside a building marked Itchy & Scratchy stands behind an iron fence with a water tower reading I-S.

Mr. Burns, the frail, stooped old man with a hooked nose and grey hair at the sides, stands at the head of a long boardroom table with his arms spread, while Krusty the clown with green hair and several unnamed men sit in padded chairs along its sides. He gestures and leans forward, then points down the table toward the seated men, who watch him. The scene then shifts to a counter where a bearded man in a blue hat, a bespectacled man in a plaid shirt, and a young man with reddish hair in a blue shirt stand listening while Burns, at the right, grins and points a finger toward them, a wall-mounted television and cabinets behind them.

A one-off character, a man with short brown hair in a light blue short-sleeved shirt with a red pen in the pocket, sits in a purple chair behind a wooden desk against wood-paneled walls. He raises one hand beside his face with a grimace, then opens his mouth and sweeps that hand outward with an open palm, and afterward lowers his hands and sits with a sidelong, strained expression. In the final moment he lifts both hands to his mouth and chest in a fidgety gesture while his mouth is open and his eyes look to the side.

Krusty the Clown, with green hair, red nose, white gloves and a blue bow tie, sits behind a desk while a stocky man in a green jacket and red tie stands by a wall-mounted television in a wood-paneled office. The stocky man glares and gestures at Krusty, who leans forward in anger, then Krusty talks with his hand on the desk while the man grins, and Krusty looks increasingly worried. In the final moment the stocky man leans over a long counter and jabs his finger at the desk, while three onlookers at the left, a bearded man in a blue hat, a curly-haired man in glasses and a plaid shirt, and a red-haired young man in a light blue shirt, watch him.

A bespectacled man with dark curly hair in a green plaid shirt over a red turtleneck sits in a blue chair at a desk, fidgeting with a red pen and gesturing while he talks. Beside a seated Krusty, a heavyset older man with blue-grey hair in a green suit watches, and Mrs. Krabappel, with a tall brown hairdo and light blue jacket, speaks across the desk toward them, with a wall-mounted TV behind them. The scene then widens to show three men side by side behind the desk: a bearded man in a green shirt and blue bucket hat, the bespectacled man in plaid, and a man with reddish-brown hair in a blue shirt, all glancing sideways.

A woman with a short brown bouffant-style hairdo, red lipstick, a light blue jacket and a cream bow blouse sits behind a desk in front of a purple chair and wood-panelled wall, first with her hands clasped, then gesturing with both hands, shrugging with open palms, and finally resting her hands at her waist while speaking. The setting is an office-like room with a yellow desk in the foreground, and the scene shows her expressive, sardonic delivery, with no on-screen text visible.

She first speaks with her hands at her waist, then raises an index finger, and stands with a hand on her hip as Krusty looks on. She reaches out to touch the top of his head, then turns back to gesture with an open hand while still speaking, and the pair stay against a yellow wall with wood paneling.

The bearded man leans in, lays his hand on the middle man's shoulder, and repeatedly turns his open palm outward as he talks, while the middle man looks ahead and the man on the right watches with heavy-lidded eyes. No on-screen text is visible, and a small window and red-brick trim sit at the edge of the room.

The setting looks like a recording studio.

> Hey, that really is you.
> How'd you get to be so good? Oh, just experience, I suppose.
> I started out as Roadrunner. Meep. You mean meep meep?

Homer Simpson stands at right in his white shirt and blue pants, beside a microphone stand, while a blonde woman with a short bob, a green shamrock-patterned jacket over a lavender top, and white pants stands at left, also next to a microphone. Against a padded grey wall, she gestures with an open hand while talking, then stands still with her lips pursed and eyes narrowed toward Homer, who glances sideways with his mouth open and then closes it, looking unimpressed. The setting appears to be a recording booth with two mic stands.

Homer Simpson, the bald, heavy man in a white shirt, stands in a padded recording booth with a grey-haired, tall, blue-beehive-free older woman in a green patterned jacket and headphones, who is not one of the regulars, while a thin man in a brown jacket and blue pants (a one-off character, not Smithers) reaches out at the start. The woman stands at a microphone stand, and a wooden table with a plate of food sits against the back wall. Homer holds a Toon Beat Magazine cover showing Homer Simpson and Poochie, priced $4.95 and labeled 'The Voice of Cool,' and the woman first takes the magazine from the man, then speaks into the microphone while Homer looks on. The scene ends with Homer holding a brown folder or case at his side as the woman talks in the booth.

> You folks ready to begin? Uh, I guess. Is this episode going on the air live?
> No, Homer.
> Very few cartoons are broadcast live. It's a terrible strain on the animator's wrist.

Apu, who runs the Kwik-E-Mart, stands behind the counter beside a red-faced dog in a pink cap and sunglasses, and a man in a green sweater and grey hat hugs the dog while Apu writes near a Brillo Pads 98 sign. The scene moves outside to The Android's Dungeon & Baseball Card Shop, where a banner reads "Meet the voices of Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie! Today" above a crowd lining up at the door. Inside, Homer, a bald man in a white shirt, sits at a table across from an elderly woman with white hair in a green-and-blue top, while a crowd of fans in folding chairs and standing behind them looks on.

Seated in a row of folding chairs in a cluttered room with shelves and a chalkboard, a heavyset, bald-less man with brown hair and glasses in a white "GENIUS AT WORK" t-shirt talks and gestures with his hands while a thin man with slicked black hair in a blue shirt sits to his left and a Black man named Carl in peach shirt, lavender pants and green-tinted glasses sits to his right. Over the five stages, the heavyset man's mouth moves as he speaks, he grins and gestures with an open hand, then points and raises a pinched hand near his face, while the others keep their seats and watch him.

In the first frame a cartoon astronaut in a white spacesuit putts a golf ball on a grey lunar surface behind him, and golf balls lie near his feet. Krusty then vanishes from the stage, leaving it empty for a moment before he reappears in the center, where he raises one gloved finger, then spreads both gloved hands palms-up as he speaks, and finally places one gloved hand on his chest while gesturing outward with the other.

## 15:36–15:47

Bart, the boy with spiky hair in an orange shirt, stands at a shop counter facing a heavy man with reddish-brown hair in a ponytail and a blue t-shirt, who leans on the counter with his arms folded. The man squints, sneers, and opens his mouth to speak, then closes his eyes and tilts his head before smirking again while Bart looks up at him. The counter displays stacks of colorful comic books and trading cards, with shelves of comics, a cash register, a "25+" sign, and a partly visible "PEACE" poster behind them.

> Rest assured that I was on the Internet within minutes,

## 15:47–16:00

Bart, the spiky-haired boy in an orange shirt, stands at a shop counter facing a heavy man with a brown ponytail and a blue shirt, who is not one of the regulars. The shop has colorful stacked comics on shelves, a sign reading "CARD" on the wall, and a blue book labeled "PEACE" that the man holds under his folded arms. The man leans in and frowns at Bart, who points at him, then puts his hands on his hips with his mouth open, shrugs with both palms out, and points at the man again.

> Hey, I know it wasn't great, but what right do you have to complain?
> As a loyal viewer, I feel they owe me.
> What?
> They've given you thousands of hours of entertainment for free.
> What could they possibly owe you? I mean, if anything, you owe them.

## 16:00–16:02

Comic Book Guy, a heavy cartoon man with a long brown ponytail and a blue shirt, stands with his arms crossed while holding a blue book labeled PEACE in a shop with card holders on the wall and a bookshelf at right. He starts with a scowling, half-closed-eyed expression, then grimaces with clenched teeth, and by the end he opens his mouth to speak while still glaring sideways. Nothing else moves in the scene apart from his expressions and slight head turns.

> Worst episode ever.
> It looks like the beginning of the end for the venerable Itchy & Scratchy program.

Kent Brockman, the grey-haired news anchor in a dark red suit and blue tie, sits behind a desk holding a sheet of paper in front of a turquoise backdrop with a blue sign reading "MY TWO CENTS with KENT BROCKMAN" showing two pennies. He speaks while reading from the paper, his expression shifting from a sidelong smirk to a grin, then wide-eyed and open-mouthed, before settling into a calm, lidded look as he continues to read.

> For years, TV critics such as yours truly, Kent Brockman,

Kent Brockman, the grey-haired news anchor in a dark red suit and blue tie, sits at a desk reading from a sheet of paper in front of a teal wall with a blue "MY TWO CENTS with KENT BROCKMAN" sign. He reads with wide eyes and a slight smile or open mouth while holding the paper steady. The blue sign is then replaced by a yellow panel showing a cartoon dog in a purple cap and sunglasses pointing sideways, and Brockman keeps reading.

Kent Brockman, the grey-haired news anchor in a maroon jacket and blue tie, sits at a brown desk in front of a teal wall with a yellow framed cartoon picture of a red-beaked character in a purple cap. He holds a sheet of white paper, first staring wide-eyed, then speaking with his mouth open, then narrowing his eyes into a smirk. He ends grinning with his eyes closed while raising one hand beside the framed picture.

Krusty the Clown, with green hair, a pink shirt, white gloves and a red nose, first stands before a dark wall-mounted television, then recoils with his mouth wide open and his gloved hand flung out. The scene moves to a boardroom where Krusty sits at the head of a long table with his hands clasped, while a row of men in suits and casual shirts, along with Marge with her blue beehive in the foreground, look on from the side chairs under a blank wall-mounted TV. As the moment continues, Krusty sits quietly while one man on the right lifts a finger to his chin as if considering a point.

Krusty the Clown, with green hair and a blue bow tie, and a woman with a short brown hairdo, a blue jacket and a bow at her collar sit at a wooden desk in front of wood-paneled walls. Krusty leans toward her, gesturing with white-gloved hands while he talks, then turns to face her more intently with his mouth open. He then steps back and clutches his own face with both hands, and in the last moment he stands alone, mouth wide open in a pained wail. The woman remains seated, lips parted, eyes glancing sideways throughout.

Krusty the Clown, in a pink shirt, green pants, white gloves and green hair, grabs the collar of a heavy man in a blue shirt while a bespectacled man in a plaid jacket watches on the left. The scene moves to a wood-paneled room with a table, where Krusty folds his arms, then leans forward and shouts beside a thin-faced man in a green suit and red tie, with a pink-framed picture on the wall. Krusty finally slumps face-down on the table, his green hair spilling out, as the suited man sits calmly beside him.

Homer Simpson, bald with stubble and a white shirt, peeks around a brown door in a boardroom with red carpet and a framed Krusty poster on the yellow wall, then steps fully into the doorway with his arms folded and mouth open. He walks into the room and stands near the end of a long wooden table where a row of people sits in grey chairs, including Krusty the clown with his green hair and red nose, a grey-haired older man, and several other men in suits and sweaters. Homer stops beside the chairs while the seated group stays facing the table.

Homer Simpson, the bald, heavy man in a white shirt and blue pants, stands at a wooden partition facing a seated man with blue hair, a brown suit and a red tie, who sits at a wooden desk in front of a purple chair. Homer holds a sheet of paper, gestures with it and talks animatedly, grinning at one point, while the seated man listens with heavy-lidded eyes and a sour expression. By the end Homer is looking wide-eyed and speaking with his mouth open, still holding the paper as the other man stares back unimpressed.

Homer Simpson, in his white shirt and blue pants, stands at a long table facing a row of men seated in grey chairs, with Krusty the Clown among them, and gestures with one hand before moving to a desk where he holds a sheet of paper. Across from him, a seated man in a brown suit and red tie gestures with a raised hand, then sits with his hands folded as Homer turns and walks toward the sliding wooden doors, leaving papers on the red carpet. The office has yellow walls with wood-panelled lower walls, a wall-mounted television and a framed picture on the wall.

Homer Simpson, the bald, heavy man in a white shirt and blue pants, first stands in a purple-carpeted hallway with a halo above his head, then walks past doors and a framed picture while a glance and small steps carry him along. He reaches a storage room where he stands by a shelf and boxes labeled "Poochie Hate Mail," "Poochie Death Threats" and "Poochie Hate Mail (Foreign)" stacked with letters, and a mop bucket sits on the floor. He then turns to a door and grips its knob to open it.

A blue-haired man in a green sweater sits on a swivel chair beside a dark-haired man in a blue shirt at a wooden counter, with Homer's bald head and white collar in the right foreground. Homer then sits on an orange crate in a dim storeroom beside a door, looking worried, before slumping forward with his mouth open. Later, at the family's kitchen table, Homer glares while holding a drumstick over his plate, and Marge with her tall blue beehive, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie in her high chair are seated eating with him.

Bart and Lisa sit at a dining table in the first frame, Bart with a plate of mashed potatoes and Lisa with a plate of corn on the cob and a pearl necklace. Marge, with her tall blue beehive and a red bead necklace over a green dress, sits at the table with a plate of mashed potatoes and a meat dish beside a glass of water. She holds a fork and then scowls and grits her teeth, pressing the fork into the food. Her expression shifts to an open-mouthed, wide-eyed look as she lifts a forkful of mashed potatoes, then ends with a broad, toothy grin while still holding the fork. The pink wall, yellow wall panel, and red-patterned chair frame the scene.

> Oh, how terrible.
> Yes, terrible.
> It's not your fault, Homer. It's those lousy writers.
> They make me madder than a yak and heat.

Homer Simpson, bald and heavyset in a white shirt, stands in the kitchen by the green refrigerator holding a drumstick and a glass of milk, grimacing, then chewing and talking with his mouth open before going quiet and frowning to the side. In the last moment he sits at a light wooden table beside a young man in a red cap, sunglasses, and a teal shirt, who smiles on a chair while Homer glares and grips a plate of food. Visible objects include purple cabinets, a blender, canisters, a child's drawing of a house and sun on the fridge, and a checkered floor.

Homer, the bald heavy man in a white shirt with stubble, holds an orange script while a platinum-blonde woman in a green clover-print dress and white pants reads from a sheet beside him in a padded recording studio with microphone stands. An older, stooped man with a hooked nose, grey hair at the sides and a brown jacket with a red tie stands nearby, first with his arms crossed, then lifting a hand to his head as a headphone-wearing technician at a mixing board with rows of red buttons works the controls. Behind them a group of men in casual shirts and glasses watch through the glass, and the scene stays on the studio's padded walls and blue console.

Afterward, a heavyset man in a green suit and red tie gestures with both arms at a long blue control console covered in red buttons, while a row of onlookers, including a man in headphones, a bearded man in a white squid-print shirt, and a long-haired man with folded arms, watches; the man then leans forward with his hands on the console and a stern expression.

## 20:47–20:55

Krusty the Clown, with green-tipped hair, a red nose and a blue bow tie, stands on a circus-style stage holding a rolled sworn affidavit while a thin man with glasses, neat grey hair and a suit holding a brown briefcase stands at right. Krusty first grins and holds the scroll up, then grimaces and squints, and in the later images the man in the suit lifts a hand to adjust his glasses as Krusty keeps the scroll raised. The scroll has seals and printed legal text, with purple and orange drapes behind them.

> This document conforms to all applicable laws and statutes.

## 20:55–21:07

On a television screen, Krusty the Clown stands beside a man in a grey suit, glasses and red tie in an arena before a cheering crowd under a banner reading "Krusty the Clown". Then in the Simpson living room, Homer and Marge stand by the couch while Bart, Lisa and Maggie sit on the rug beside the sleeping brown dog Santa's Little Helper, the family watching a boxy television. A man in sunglasses, a red cap and a teal shirt walks in holding a sheet of paper and a remote, and the family's expressions shift as he speaks.

> Oh, yeah!
> Tough break, Dad.
> I guess people just weren't ready for Poochie.
> Maybe in a few years.
> Good news, everybody.

## 21:07–21:19

Marge Simpson, with her tall blue beehive and green dress, stands in a pink room beside a young man with brown hair under a red backward cap, dark sunglasses, and a teal t-shirt with a black collar, who is not one of the regulars. At first he holds a white plate and a sheet of paper, grinning, then Marge drapes her arm over his shoulder and leans in toward him while he smiles, and in the final moments he grins and points at the plate she is holding. A framed portrait of an older man hangs on the pink wall behind them, and a yellow curtain and window with a view of a house sit to the right.

> I'm moving into my own apartment with two sexy ladies.
> Then I guess this is goodbye, Roy.
> Maybe we'll see you in a few years.
> Well, I guess I learned my lesson. The thing is, I lost creative control of the project.

## 21:19–21:31

Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Maggie and Santa's Little Helper, with Snowball II on the back of the couch, gather in the living room, with Homer standing in the middle as he talks and smiles, and the family listening around him. The scene then cuts to Bart and Lisa lying and sitting on a multicolored oval rug in front of a purple television, with a brown couch behind them, as they watch the screen and Bart's eyes shift toward it.

> And I forgot to ask for any money.
> Well, live and learn.

## 21:31–21:41

A blue cartoon mouse in an orange shirt and grey vest, not a regular character, aims a bow in a yard with a pink hedge and chain-link fence, then lowers the bow and spreads one arm wide. A black cartoon cat with an apple balanced on its head, pierced by an arrow, grimaces, and then turns into a white skeleton with a green glow behind it that flings its arms and kicks its legs on the grass beneath red lettering at the top of the screen.

## 21:41–21:53

Bart and Lisa Simpson sit on a colorful oval rug in the living room, with a brown couch behind them and a purple television set at the right edge of the scene. Bart, in an orange shirt, sits with eyes closed and hands clasped in front of him, while Lisa, in her red dress and pearl necklace, sits upright holding a remote control. Lisa turns her head toward the TV and her expression shifts from a glance to a wide, toothy grin, while Bart's eyes slowly open and his face looks stern as they stay seated on the rug.

> It's back to the basics.
> Classic. Itchy and scratchy. We should thank our lucky stars.
> They're still putting on a program of this caliber after so many years.
> What else is on?

Silhouetted audience members, including one figure with large puffy hair on the left, sit in theater seats facing a blank screen.

The sequence ends on a black screen.
