Zorba? =[edit]

Untitled[edit]

I fail to find anything about this episode beyond the words 'The Greek' that has any relation at all to 'Zorba.' I think claiming this as a cultural reference is really stretching the point, but I'll hold off on removing the claim pending discussion. -- lowgenius -- My Talk Page 00:26, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you; in fact, I'm almost certain the title is a reference to Jimmy the Greek a sports commentator and bookie who is also parodied in the episode via Smooth Jimmy Apollo. 138.69.160.1 17:31, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Overall, it's a very good article. I made a couple of minor changes myself, but now I'm happy to pass it. Well done :) —97198 (talk) 13:49, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! :) The leftorium 13:56, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It'd also be really helpful if you could review one or two GANs as there's a big backlog at the moment. —97198 (talk) 14:02, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What's the chalkboard gag?[edit]

No chalkboard gag lised at time of typing. 203.11.71.124 (talk) 08:43, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
