Trivia / The Simpsons S6 E25 "Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part One)"

Go To

  • Deleted Scene: One had Homer's mother calling him after his Atomic F-Bomb. Given that we didn't actually meet Homer's mother until six months later, it was probably for the best.
  • Edited for Syndication: Notably, it removes Smithers saying he never misses Pardon My Zinger as a benefit for watching Comedy Central while out of a job.
  • Orphaned Reference: When Mr. Burns stomps on scale models of Springfield landmarks, he says "Take that, Bowl-A-Rama [Barney's Bowl-A-Rama]! Take that, convenience mart [Kwik-E-Mart]! Take that, nuclear power plan- Oh, fiddlesticks.". The producers originally intended to have Barney Gumble be the one who shot Mr. Burns, so Burns stomping on Barney's Bowl-A-Rama was meant to foreshadow this.
  • What Could Have Been: During the storyboard portion of development, after Homer is dragged off by Burns' security screaming "you're dead, Burns", Burns would've taken this literally, wondering why everyone kept saying that, and tried mussing up his hair to look more alive.
