Talk:A Streetcar Named Marge

older entries
Given the production schedule of the episodes and the fact that they're ready some time in advance of screening, would there *really* have been enough time in one week for the production team to have been able to "respond to the complaints" of the residents of New Orleans and prepare the apologetic blackboard joke for the next episode? I accept that this is a stock piece of footage that they probably *could* insert a new gag into at quite short notice, but I was wondering if anybody had a definite source for this?

Absolutely, yes. The Simpsons DVD commentaries explain that the blackboard jokes can be placed in up to a few days before airing, and in fact the commentary for the next episode explicitly says that's what they did. Tilgrieog 07:18, 7 February 2006 (UTC)


 * That answers that then. Cheers! Angmering 19:37, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Why was it controversial? New Orleans IS like that, and if they don't like it they should change.. and there's an easy excuse to make, too, that the musical explicitly takes place a long time ago, when, let's admit it, most big cities were pretty screwed up.


 * Have a listen to the commentary, they were saying that some guys from orleans called them up and threatened to kill bart when he came to orleans for a festival. --Simpsons fan 66 00:17, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

GA pass
I've been watching Scorpio build the article and it is most wonderfully comprehensive. Kudos for weaving in the Maggie sub-plot, rather than just giving it a paragraph to itself as a "sub-plot". Alientraveller 14:07, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Emmy
I'm back now, and I remember hearing in one of the commentaries that this episode was submitted for the Emmy in the normal comedy category. In fact, the List of awards won by The Simpsons says that too. I think it MIGHT be mentioned on the Mr. Plow commentary, so I'll listen to that. Also, great work on the page, it is close to FA, the controversy and reception sections need a little expansion and I think we'll be there. -- Scorpion0422 18:52, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

A week
I can't understand the article: There stands "week of September 21 - October 4, 1992" − I thought a week has seven days. --89.204.155.210 (talk) 22:34, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

The Scream
After the scene where Homer fails to open pudding can he shouts, when his face looks like on the painting of Edvard Munch The Scream (screenshot). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.220.109.141 (talk) 17:29, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

New Orleans song: Sweeny Todd's London?
Watching this again, it seems like the New Orleans song is an homage to the "No Place like London" song in Sweeny Todd ("There's a hole in the world like a great black pit... and it goes by the name of London"). Anyone else notice the similarity between the two? Amillar (talk) 17:07, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, Jeff Martin said he was inspired by Sweeney Todd in the DVD commentary. Zagal e jo^^^ 04:04, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

The New Orleans song explicitly referred to the New Orleans which existed "Long before the Superdome"
Even in this clip of the episode, Chief Wiggum's character used past tense by stateing "lived a city that the damned called home." . A Streetcar Named Desire, which was the play which was remade into a musical in the episode, was written and even made into a movie decades before the Superdome came into exsistance.2601:447:4080:10:8C5E:DC1A:8DE9:C0B7 (talk) 19:28, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
