Movie in The Simpsons Movie[edit]

Should it be mentioned that another movie was made, with the Simpson family all watching it before the start of The Simpsons Movie? And as Homer let Bart see this movie, then that kind of goes against him not letting Bart see the movie featured in "Itchy & Scratchy: The Movie", until Bart was 40 years older.

Passing as a Good Article[edit]

OK, I must say at the outset that I feel a little dirty passing obvious cruft as a GA, but honestly this is a FANTASTIC article; and Wikiproject:Simpsons should be proud. This was a well-written, well-referenced article that shows no obvious variance with the criteria at WP:WIAGA. I only hope we can get you people to use your powers for good rather than evil. :) All kidding aside, this is a great article, and whoever worked on it should be proud. --Jayron32|talk|contribs 05:21, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GA Sweeps (Pass)[edit]

This article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. The article history has been updated to reflect this review.

Ratings[edit]

Mike Reiss apparently commented in the DVD that episode received ratings approximately 80% from what they were used to, because the episode was moved to a tuesday. In my ratings research I found that it had a rating of 13.6 and finished 25th. The previous episode had a rating of 14.7 and finished 20th. Although it is a drop, it far from the drop Reiss mentions. Should we just delete his comment in the article. --Maitch (talk) 22:06, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe say something along the lines of "Reiss claims"? If not, then cut it. Gran²

Ok. I just removed the 80% part, so that it still says that episode dropped from its normal audience. I'm pretty sure Reiss just didn't remember it right. --Maitch (talk) 09:45, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Correction: I just found out that the next episode aired the same week, so I was using those numbers. Now it's 12.5 and a 35th place. It is 85% of the episode before. --Maitch (talk) 10:05, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
