What is the first song that Cypress Hill performs when they report the missing child??? --FUN WIT AHMED, DUDEZ (talk) 19:20, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yesterday I saw a brief clip on TV. It was in black and white and matched the slow-mo scene in which Homer gets shot with the cannonball and tumbles into the cushion thing behind him. I've been searching the web for a while but was not able to find that clip nor the name of that person. I assume it has been shot in the beginning of the 20th century... Does anyone know about this? da_baitsnatcha

Yes, the shot of Homer is based on famous stock footage of a man getting shot in the stomach with a cannon. You probably won't be able to find it on the Internet. -- Scorpion0422 11:54, 15 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi came across this, pretty sure he's the guy, even found a video of him on youtube. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_%22Cannonball%22_Richards http://youtube.com/watch?v=TlytmtStpdg

The lead is too short, the Plot Summary image superflous as it doesn't show the main point of the episode being Homer with a cannon, and the Cultural references should be prosified with the Hidden Jokes.

Sorry, but I don't think enough work has been done since it's last GA nom. An example of a good episode article is Trapped in the Closet (South Park). Please do not renominate until you have genuinely addressed the concerns. If you are unsure, then it is probably best for you to go to Wikipedia:Peer review to get detailed feedback.

This article failed good article nomination. This is how the article, as of January 27, 2007, compares against the

1. Well written?: C- prose needs improvement, mainly in the plot synopsis. Ex."After examining his fall from being cool, Homer decides to get tickets to the Hullabalooza festival to prove he's cool again." could be rewritten as: After realizing that he is no longer cool, Homer buys tickets to the Hullabalooza festival to prove that he is still cool. The original sentence is too dense (also "he's" is a contraction that should be removed)

2. Factually accurate?: A

3. Broad in coverage?: A

4. Neutral point of view?: A

5. Article stability? A

6. Images?: B+ a picture of Homer getting hit with the cannonball would be best

When these issues are addressed, the article can be

I was asked to give some feedback for this article: I'm delighted that TV episode articles are coming along. This one has some of the same problems 'Round Springfield recently had regarding organization. First there's this header called "Episode notes", which I don't understand. It's a step up from "Trivia" but it's still an invitation for an indiscriminate collection of info. I'd do away with it and make "Production" a main heading. Much of what follows is production info anyway. The Courtney Love info and No Doubt info could be joined with much of the other info regarding who was selected to appear in the episode- sort of like "Casting", although the No Doubt info relates to "Animation" since their voices apparently weren't used. "Animation" would be a better header for that section than "Hidden jokes" which struck me as odd since there was only one and it would be better characterized as a "Hidden in-joke".

Thanks for the feedback. I merged all the sections, and now there is a casting section, soundtrack section and the research note? What do you think of the summary? Is it too small? And, some feedback on the reception would be nice because I thought it could use clean up. -- Scorpion 16:52, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The reception section is IMO OK. I try to avoid IMDb reviews but in cases like this I'm not a hardliner, unlike some. I looked at the ref for the ratings, though, and thought there was some useful interpretation (ie., that most people didn't bother to watch the episode) and some useful context (what they watched instead at the time, by which I mean during the week in question, for example the X Files).

Note that footnote 11 is now invisible. CanadianCaesar Et tu, Brute? 03:32, 13 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article is well-written, comprehensible and the structure is clear at first reading. It's well-referenced, accurate and verifiable. It also follows the neutral point of view policy.  Armando.O  ^{(talk|contribs)} 14:53, 13 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Frampton sees that Homer ruined his pig, but later he tries it anyway. Did he just forget?

There is an error here - the X-Files episode mentioned in the rating section actually aired on Friday night at 9, not Sunday on the "same night" as the Simpons "Homerpalooza" episode.

That's not what the source says. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 21:55, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know where to put this in, so I'll leave it up to someone else to decide...

Lee Ranaldo of Sonic Youth claimed the episode was "one of our biggest claims to fame"^[1]

In your production description, you say "some random guy" called brent forrester a narc, when in fact he was called a narc because he was seen taking notes on his dictaphone. I'm editing the article to reflect this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.210.30.118 (talk) 13:46, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
