Talk:Treehouse of Horror IX

?
Do we really need this much backround info such as:

"On an ordinary day, Marge discovers Maggie's first baby tooth, which appears to be a sharp fang. Maggie later loses her "baby legs" and grows green tentacles. Marge decides to take her to Dr. Hibbert, who prescribes "Fire, and lots of it!" after Maggie crunches his equipment with her fang."

Can't it just be "On an ordinary day, the Simpsons discover Maggie is acting weird, and take her to Dr. Hibbert. Which is no help." —Preceding unsigned comment added by The Stone Cutter (talk • contribs) 21:01, 6 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Disagree. This is not "background information" but specific plot content, which was distinctive in this episode. As a matter of fact, I tracked it down just now in searching for examples of humanoid characters with tentacles replacing lower limbs (as with Ursula the Sea Witch). Suggest retaining as is. -- Deborahjay (talk) 21:54, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Channel 4 censorship
Is this now going to be carried on all Simpsons episode pages? I'm curious to see what gets cut.

WP:Censored
Wikipedia is not censored, therefore censoring the quote is against WP guidelines, the quote should either be there uncensored or not there at all, as long as it doesn't "cause the article to be less informative". I have reverted it three times so will not be reverting it again, but in my opinion the quote should be there. I know people will probably ignore this, but please don't revert without posting on here first. Will Bradshaw (talk) 18:47, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Poochie as a cultural reference?
Should it really count as "cultural" reference, when a series references itself? To me that seems to be the start of a slippery slope, where in the end every time a minor supporting character (i.e. a character that does appear only very infrequenty) makes an appearance it needs to be put in the cultural reference category. An Example that comes to mind would be the various references to Frank Grimes throughout various episodes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.205.107.79 (talk) 02:28, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
