1
00:00:07,590 --> 00:00:09,009
Spin-off!

2
00:00:09,092 --> 00:00:11,636
Is there any word more thrilling
to the human soul?

3
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:13,096
Hi. I'm Troy McClure.

4
00:00:13,179 --> 00:00:15,598
You may remember me
from such TV spin-offs

5
00:00:15,682 --> 00:00:19,602
as "Son of Sanford and Son"
and "After Mannix."

6
00:00:19,686 --> 00:00:21,771
I'm here at the Museum
of TV and Television

7
00:00:21,855 --> 00:00:24,566
with a real treat
for Simpsons fans, if any,

8
00:00:24,649 --> 00:00:27,402
because, tonight,
we present the...

9
00:00:40,623 --> 00:00:42,834
Not long ago,
the Fox Network approached

10
00:00:42,917 --> 00:00:45,420
the producers of "The Simpsons"
with a simple request:

11
00:00:45,503 --> 00:00:48,131
35 new shows
to fill a few holes

12
00:00:48,214 --> 00:00:49,674
in their programming lineup.

13
00:00:49,758 --> 00:00:51,676
That's a pretty daunting task,

14
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:53,762
and the producers
weren't up to it.

15
00:00:53,845 --> 00:00:56,765
Instead, they churned out
three Simpsons spin-offs,

16
00:00:56,848 --> 00:00:59,059
transplanting
already popular characters

17
00:00:59,142 --> 00:01:01,770
into new locales
and situations.

18
00:01:01,853 --> 00:01:03,772
First up,
a gritty crime drama

19
00:01:03,855 --> 00:01:06,775
starring Springfield's
beloved police chief Wiggum.

20
00:01:06,858 --> 00:01:08,526
Keep at least one eye open,

21
00:01:08,610 --> 00:01:10,320
'cause his best friends,
The Simpsons,

22
00:01:10,403 --> 00:01:12,614
just might pop in
to wish him luck.

23
00:01:12,697 --> 00:01:14,574
Let's us wish him luck, too.

24
00:01:14,657 --> 00:01:15,867
Good luck, Wiggum.

25
00:01:50,693 --> 00:01:52,779
Ah, New Orleans.

26
00:01:52,862 --> 00:01:54,072
The Big Easy.

27
00:01:54,155 --> 00:01:55,740
Sweet Lady Gumbo.

28
00:01:55,824 --> 00:01:58,576
Old Swampy.

29
00:01:58,660 --> 00:02:00,703
I still don't understand,
Clancy.

30
00:02:00,787 --> 00:02:03,123
Why give up your job
as a small-town police chief

31
00:02:03,206 --> 00:02:05,375
to set up a detective shop
in New Orleans?

32
00:02:05,458 --> 00:02:07,710
Oh, lots of reasons,
I suppose.

33
00:02:07,794 --> 00:02:10,004
Got kicked off the force
for one thing.

34
00:02:10,088 --> 00:02:11,631
For massive corruption.

35
00:02:11,714 --> 00:02:13,025
- For massive corr... Exactly.
- Yeah.

36
00:02:13,049 --> 00:02:15,135
As for me,
I was born and bred here

37
00:02:15,218 --> 00:02:16,803
in the mean streets
of "N'awlins."

38
00:02:16,886 --> 00:02:18,471
Oh, sure, I left briefly

39
00:02:18,555 --> 00:02:20,473
to take that principal's job
in Springfield,

40
00:02:20,557 --> 00:02:22,225
but in my heart,

41
00:02:22,308 --> 00:02:23,893
I've always been
a small-time hustler.

42
00:02:23,977 --> 00:02:26,354
I know. That's precisely
why I hired you

43
00:02:26,437 --> 00:02:28,106
as my leg man,
Skinny Boy.

44
00:02:28,189 --> 00:02:30,066
I want you to put the word out.

45
00:02:30,150 --> 00:02:32,902
Chief Wiggum is here
to clean up this crime dump.

46
00:02:34,445 --> 00:02:36,072
Bleh.

47
00:02:36,156 --> 00:02:38,825
Hmm? Looks like you've already
got an enemy, Chief.

48
00:02:38,908 --> 00:02:42,078
You know, folks around here don't
much care for law-and-order types.

49
00:02:42,162 --> 00:02:45,165
Is that right? Well, maybe they'll
change their minds

50
00:02:45,248 --> 00:02:48,126
once I arrest them for throwing skulls
all over my floor.

51
00:02:54,007 --> 00:02:55,758
Aw, man, what a day.

52
00:02:55,842 --> 00:02:57,844
It's no cakewalk
being a single parent

53
00:02:57,927 --> 00:02:59,846
juggling a career and a family

54
00:02:59,929 --> 00:03:02,265
like so many juggling balls.

55
00:03:02,348 --> 00:03:03,683
Two, I suppose.

56
00:03:03,766 --> 00:03:06,311
Daddy, these rubber pants
are hot.

57
00:03:06,394 --> 00:03:09,105
You wear them
until you learn, son.

58
00:03:09,189 --> 00:03:10,690
Mwah.

59
00:03:15,987 --> 00:03:18,907
- I gar-ohn-tee...
- Will you stop saying that?

60
00:03:18,990 --> 00:03:21,993
So, Skinner, who do you figure threw
that skull through my window?

61
00:03:22,076 --> 00:03:23,828
What's the word on the street?

62
00:03:23,912 --> 00:03:25,496
Well, to be honest, Chief,

63
00:03:25,580 --> 00:03:27,999
I haven't lived in
New Orleans for 42 years.

64
00:03:28,082 --> 00:03:30,084
Although...

65
00:03:30,168 --> 00:03:32,503
according to an article
I read in "Parade" magazine,

66
00:03:32,587 --> 00:03:35,798
a criminal by the name
of "Big Daddy" runs this town.

67
00:03:35,882 --> 00:03:37,508
Big Daddy, eh?

68
00:03:37,592 --> 00:03:39,802
Well, he won't feel so big

69
00:03:39,886 --> 00:03:42,347
if he messes
with Chief Wiggum, P.I. again,

70
00:03:42,430 --> 00:03:44,766
which I sincerely doubt
he will.

71
00:04:02,575 --> 00:04:04,160
Hey.

72
00:04:04,244 --> 00:04:06,162
Oh, God!

73
00:04:18,716 --> 00:04:20,927
Lucky for you,
this was just a warning gator.

74
00:04:21,010 --> 00:04:23,012
The next one won't be corked.

75
00:04:23,096 --> 00:04:25,014
Listen up, Big Daddy!

76
00:04:25,098 --> 00:04:26,349
You don't scare me.

77
00:04:26,432 --> 00:04:28,351
I'm three steps ahead of you.

78
00:04:28,434 --> 00:04:30,186
Oh, Chief?
Your boy has been kidnapped.

79
00:04:30,270 --> 00:04:32,105
Oh, God!

80
00:04:35,441 --> 00:04:38,319
Big Daddy's trademark
calling card.

81
00:04:38,403 --> 00:04:41,072
See, it's right here
inside the skull.

82
00:04:43,741 --> 00:04:46,494
Looks like we've got our first case ever,
Skinny Boy,

83
00:04:46,577 --> 00:04:48,746
and this time it's personal.

84
00:04:50,915 --> 00:04:54,168
Chief Wiggum, P.I.
will return right now.

85
00:04:57,088 --> 00:04:57,880
Who is this?

86
00:04:57,964 --> 00:05:00,091
It's me, Chief.
I'm on the other extension.

87
00:05:00,174 --> 00:05:01,254
Now, you listen up,
mon ami,

88
00:05:01,301 --> 00:05:02,719
and you listen good, heah?

89
00:05:02,802 --> 00:05:05,555
The name's Daddy,
Charles Daddy.

90
00:05:05,638 --> 00:05:08,266
Big Daddy! What have you done
with my boy, Daddy?

91
00:05:08,349 --> 00:05:10,727
Ah, the boy is fine, so far.

92
00:05:10,810 --> 00:05:13,187
I taught him
to play the spoons.

93
00:05:13,271 --> 00:05:15,732
If you ever want to see
that boy again,

94
00:05:15,815 --> 00:05:18,609
I suggest you
leave town today, heah?

95
00:05:20,069 --> 00:05:22,155
Huh. Sounded like
some sort of party

96
00:05:22,238 --> 00:05:23,906
going on in the background.

97
00:05:23,990 --> 00:05:25,950
Are there any parties today,
Skinner?

98
00:05:26,034 --> 00:05:27,827
Nah. It's not really
a party town,

99
00:05:27,910 --> 00:05:30,788
though if I remember correctly,
they occasionally hold

100
00:05:30,872 --> 00:05:33,124
a function called
Mardi... something.

101
00:05:54,812 --> 00:05:56,898
If it isn't my old
friends from Springfield,

102
00:05:56,981 --> 00:05:58,358
the Simpsons.

103
00:05:58,441 --> 00:06:00,318
What brings you folks
to New Orleans?

104
00:06:00,401 --> 00:06:02,570
Mardi Gras, man.
When the Big Easy calls,

105
00:06:02,653 --> 00:06:04,322
you got to accept the charges.

106
00:06:04,405 --> 00:06:06,199
Chief Wiggum,
I can't wait to hear

107
00:06:06,282 --> 00:06:07,992
about the exciting,
sexy adventures

108
00:06:08,076 --> 00:06:10,787
you're sure to have
against this colorful backdrop.

109
00:06:10,870 --> 00:06:14,332
Golly, I'd love to chat,
but my son's been kidnapped.

110
00:06:14,415 --> 00:06:16,042
You haven't seen him,
have you?

111
00:06:16,125 --> 00:06:18,378
Caucasian male between the ages
of six and ten,

112
00:06:18,461 --> 00:06:19,462
thinning hair.

113
00:06:19,545 --> 00:06:21,756
Over there.

114
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,300
Look, Big Daddy,
it's Regular Daddy.

115
00:06:25,593 --> 00:06:26,677
The Chief!

116
00:06:26,761 --> 00:06:28,221
Ooh, I suppose I best to run.

117
00:06:28,304 --> 00:06:30,723
Lord have mercy,
I wish I weren't so fat.

118
00:06:47,698 --> 00:06:49,534
Police business.

119
00:06:59,085 --> 00:07:02,839
Hang on, son,
I'm coming to... Ow, ow!

120
00:07:02,922 --> 00:07:04,340
Hey, my tongue.

121
00:07:07,009 --> 00:07:08,511
Hee-ya!

122
00:07:12,723 --> 00:07:15,435
Nah! Nah!

123
00:07:15,518 --> 00:07:19,939
What do you suppose
the rent is on a hideout like that?

124
00:07:20,022 --> 00:07:22,817
It's not rented, Chief.
It's stolen.

125
00:07:22,900 --> 00:07:24,652
That's the Louisiana
Governor's Mansion.

126
00:07:24,735 --> 00:07:26,095
It's been missing
for eight months.

127
00:07:35,705 --> 00:07:37,290
You!

128
00:07:37,373 --> 00:07:39,500
Welcome to my maison, Chief.

129
00:07:39,584 --> 00:07:41,461
I've been expecting you.

130
00:07:41,544 --> 00:07:43,296
Is that so, Big Daddy?

131
00:07:43,379 --> 00:07:44,755
Well, expect this...

132
00:07:44,839 --> 00:07:47,175
The arrest of you by me.

133
00:07:47,258 --> 00:07:50,136
Mais, cher,
New Orleans is my town.

134
00:07:50,219 --> 00:07:52,638
Won't nobody going to mess
with me.

135
00:07:52,722 --> 00:07:56,058
I got interests, and I ain't talking
about stamp collecting,

136
00:07:56,142 --> 00:07:58,644
though I do find that
extremely interesting.

137
00:07:58,728 --> 00:08:00,938
Oh, yeah?
Well, that makes two of us.

138
00:08:01,022 --> 00:08:02,815
You know, boys

139
00:08:02,899 --> 00:08:05,526
there's an old saying
down on the bayou that...

140
00:08:09,780 --> 00:08:12,450
He's gradually
getting away, Chief.

141
00:08:12,533 --> 00:08:14,035
Ah, let him go.

142
00:08:14,118 --> 00:08:16,037
I have a feeling

143
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,080
we'll meet again
each and every week,

144
00:08:18,164 --> 00:08:20,958
always in more sexy
and exciting ways.

145
00:08:21,042 --> 00:08:24,295
Daddy, when I grow up,
I want to be just like you.

146
00:08:24,378 --> 00:08:26,756
Better start eating, kid.

147
00:08:26,839 --> 00:08:27,882
Start eating?

148
00:08:29,091 --> 00:08:30,927
I didn't mean it that way.

149
00:08:40,603 --> 00:08:42,230
Oh, hi.

150
00:08:42,313 --> 00:08:44,232
Welcome back to our
spin-off showcase.

151
00:08:44,315 --> 00:08:46,943
Could "The Simpsons" ever
have maintained its popularity

152
00:08:47,026 --> 00:08:49,111
without Moe the Bartender?

153
00:08:49,195 --> 00:08:53,115
Let's hope so, because Moe's
leaving to do his own sitcom.

154
00:08:53,199 --> 00:08:55,660
But don't panic. He's taking
a familiar sidekick with him.

155
00:08:55,743 --> 00:08:59,205
And his best friend Homer might
just pop in to wish him luck.

156
00:08:59,288 --> 00:09:01,082
Let's take a peek.

157
00:09:05,294 --> 00:09:08,381
Well, I'd better go.

158
00:09:08,464 --> 00:09:09,715
I got a date with that lady

159
00:09:09,799 --> 00:09:10,925
in front of the drug store

160
00:09:11,008 --> 00:09:12,760
who's always yelling things.

161
00:09:14,637 --> 00:09:17,473
She told me she was washing
her hair tonight.

162
00:09:17,557 --> 00:09:20,351
Oh, I'm so desperately lonely.

163
00:09:22,770 --> 00:09:25,982
Aw, quit your bellyaching,
you big loser.

164
00:09:26,065 --> 00:09:27,358
Who...? Who said that?

165
00:09:27,441 --> 00:09:30,069
I did. It's me, Abe Simpson.

166
00:09:30,152 --> 00:09:32,071
But you're d-d-dead.

167
00:09:32,154 --> 00:09:35,283
I was, but I've come back...

168
00:09:35,366 --> 00:09:38,369
as your love testing machine.

169
00:09:38,452 --> 00:09:42,373
I'm the Love-Matic Grampa.

170
00:09:46,377 --> 00:09:48,713
While shopping
for some cans.

171
00:09:48,796 --> 00:09:50,673
An old man passed away.

172
00:09:50,756 --> 00:09:52,883
He floated up toward heaven.

173
00:09:52,967 --> 00:09:56,053
But got lost
along the way...

174
00:10:00,057 --> 00:10:02,476
Now he's
the Love-Matic Grampa.

175
00:10:02,560 --> 00:10:05,062
The wise, Socratic grampa.

176
00:10:05,146 --> 00:10:10,443
And he'll fill
our hearts with love.

177
00:10:19,201 --> 00:10:21,537
Don't be afraid, Moe.

178
00:10:21,621 --> 00:10:23,998
I'm here to help you
with your romantic problems.

179
00:10:24,081 --> 00:10:27,501
Hey, I don't need no advice
from no pinball machine.

180
00:10:27,585 --> 00:10:29,754
I'll have you know,
I wrote the book on love.

181
00:10:29,837 --> 00:10:32,590
Yeah. All quiet
on the Western front.

182
00:10:35,134 --> 00:10:37,428
Aw, kiss my dishrag.

183
00:10:39,472 --> 00:10:41,349
See, that's your problem.

184
00:10:41,432 --> 00:10:42,683
You're a crab.

185
00:10:42,767 --> 00:10:44,560
Ladies like sweet-talkers.

186
00:10:44,644 --> 00:10:47,396
Hey, I'm sweet.
I'm sweeter than Jewish wine.

187
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:51,317
Then prove it. I want you to charm
the next pretty young thing

188
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,110
that walks through
that door.

189
00:10:53,194 --> 00:10:55,321
Mm, greetings.

190
00:10:59,617 --> 00:11:01,452
Son, it's me.

191
00:11:01,535 --> 00:11:04,538
I floated up toward heaven,
but got lost along the way.

192
00:11:05,623 --> 00:11:08,334
Dad, is that really you?

193
00:11:08,417 --> 00:11:10,378
Darn tootin',
you lousy fink.

194
00:11:10,461 --> 00:11:11,837
You buried me naked

195
00:11:11,921 --> 00:11:13,561
and sold my suit to buy
a ping-pong table.

196
00:11:13,589 --> 00:11:15,383
What kind of a son...

197
00:11:15,466 --> 00:11:18,344
Call me when you get
a karaoke machine.

198
00:11:21,055 --> 00:11:24,684
That's the second time
he pulled the plug on me.

199
00:11:26,435 --> 00:11:28,562
I was just in a car accident.
Can I use your phone?

200
00:11:28,646 --> 00:11:30,231
Using the phone's
a four-drink minimum.

201
00:11:32,149 --> 00:11:33,960
What's the matter?
I'm making as nice as I can.

202
00:11:33,984 --> 00:11:37,279
Test-lady. Test-lady.

203
00:11:37,363 --> 00:11:38,781
Go ahead, give it a try.

204
00:11:38,864 --> 00:11:40,658
It goes by how clammy
your hands are.

205
00:11:40,741 --> 00:11:44,036
Well, I suppose I could use
a laugh after that accident.

206
00:11:49,667 --> 00:11:51,669
Lovelorn. You need man.

207
00:11:51,752 --> 00:11:53,462
Moe near now.

208
00:11:53,546 --> 00:11:54,672
Go near Moe.

209
00:11:54,755 --> 00:11:56,632
- What?
- Go near Moe.

210
00:11:56,716 --> 00:11:59,176
I'd say that's
a pretty strong endorsement.

211
00:11:59,260 --> 00:12:00,845
So how about you and me
go out sometime?

212
00:12:00,928 --> 00:12:02,263
You know, out back.

213
00:12:02,346 --> 00:12:05,641
I mean, out to dinner...

214
00:12:05,725 --> 00:12:07,101
at a fancy
French restaurant?

215
00:12:07,184 --> 00:12:09,311
- Bing!
- Sounds great.

216
00:12:09,395 --> 00:12:12,106
And if this love tester
is as accurate as it looks,

217
00:12:12,189 --> 00:12:14,442
maybe we'll be having
breakfast, too.

218
00:12:14,525 --> 00:12:16,527
Wooo!

219
00:12:16,610 --> 00:12:18,279
You did it, Grampa.

220
00:12:18,362 --> 00:12:19,572
You really are a love expert.

221
00:12:19,655 --> 00:12:21,073
Dang right.

222
00:12:21,157 --> 00:12:23,284
Fact is, I invented kissing.

223
00:12:23,367 --> 00:12:25,077
It was during World War I,

224
00:12:25,161 --> 00:12:26,495
and they were looking

225
00:12:26,579 --> 00:12:27,747
for a new way
to spread germs.

226
00:12:37,423 --> 00:12:40,426
Sorry, Grampa, but I got
to stash you in the bathroom,

227
00:12:40,509 --> 00:12:42,511
so Betty won't get wise to us.

228
00:12:45,264 --> 00:12:47,933
This is not the evening
I envisioned.

229
00:12:48,017 --> 00:12:49,477
Oh, jeez, she just got here.

230
00:12:49,560 --> 00:12:51,645
Give me some advice, quick!

231
00:12:51,729 --> 00:12:54,148
You know, just be sweet,
pour on the honey, you know...

232
00:12:54,231 --> 00:12:56,275
Yeah, yeah, yeah, romantic.

233
00:12:56,358 --> 00:13:00,654
Ain't sunshine pretty,
ain't flowers stupid, I got you.

234
00:13:02,573 --> 00:13:05,534
I've suffered so long,
why can't I die?

235
00:13:05,618 --> 00:13:07,328
You know what's great
about you, Betty

236
00:13:07,411 --> 00:13:09,014
is you're letting
your looks go gracefully.

237
00:13:09,038 --> 00:13:10,498
You're not all hung-up

238
00:13:10,581 --> 00:13:13,292
on looking attractive
and desirable.

239
00:13:13,375 --> 00:13:14,877
It's just so rare
and refreshing.

240
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,172
So, Moe, tell me
a little about yourself.

241
00:13:18,255 --> 00:13:21,634
Myself... uh... uh, jeez.

242
00:13:21,717 --> 00:13:24,053
Um, I got to go
to the can again.

243
00:13:24,136 --> 00:13:26,555
I got the runs.

244
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,436
Hey! Get away from that!
Leave him alone!

245
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,939
It said I was gay.

246
00:13:35,022 --> 00:13:36,774
You all right, Grampa?

247
00:13:36,857 --> 00:13:41,695
Oh... Daisy, Daisy...

248
00:13:41,779 --> 00:13:45,491
give me your answer true...

249
00:13:45,574 --> 00:13:47,660
will you quit your clowning?
I need help here.

250
00:13:47,743 --> 00:13:51,539
Whoa, tell her her rump's

251
00:13:51,622 --> 00:13:53,958
as big as the queen's

252
00:13:54,041 --> 00:13:57,795
and twice as fragrant.

253
00:13:57,878 --> 00:13:58,879
Okay.

254
00:14:01,882 --> 00:14:05,678
You are absolutely,
positively the dumbest

255
00:14:05,761 --> 00:14:07,721
haunted love tester
that I have ever met.

256
00:14:10,099 --> 00:14:11,767
What is going on in here?

257
00:14:15,396 --> 00:14:17,982
I might as well
come clean with you.

258
00:14:18,065 --> 00:14:19,817
I ain't too good
at talking to women,

259
00:14:19,900 --> 00:14:21,902
and I really wanted
to do you,

260
00:14:21,986 --> 00:14:24,613
so I brought along
the love tester to help me.

261
00:14:24,697 --> 00:14:26,115
As you may have guessed,

262
00:14:26,198 --> 00:14:27,449
it's inhabited by the ghost

263
00:14:27,533 --> 00:14:29,243
of my friend's dead father.

264
00:14:29,326 --> 00:14:35,291
Why, you conniving, devious,
monstrous, despicable...

265
00:14:35,374 --> 00:14:37,251
sweet, little angel.

266
00:14:37,334 --> 00:14:39,920
Look, Betty, if you just
give me a chance... What?

267
00:14:40,004 --> 00:14:43,591
I can't believe you went
to all that trouble for me.

268
00:14:45,759 --> 00:14:47,887
Ding, ding, ding, ding.

269
00:14:47,970 --> 00:14:51,015
Thanks, Grampa.

270
00:14:51,098 --> 00:14:54,143
Yeah, yeah,
now how's about introducing me

271
00:14:54,226 --> 00:14:56,228
to that cute little
pay phone out front?

272
00:15:01,901 --> 00:15:03,319
He's horny.

273
00:15:05,529 --> 00:15:08,198
He's the Love-Matic Grampa.

274
00:15:08,282 --> 00:15:13,662
And he filled
our hearts with love.

275
00:15:25,633 --> 00:15:26,884
Welcome back.

276
00:15:26,967 --> 00:15:28,344
I'm talking with the curator

277
00:15:28,427 --> 00:15:29,929
of the Museum of TV
and Television,

278
00:15:30,012 --> 00:15:31,931
Mr. John Winslow.

279
00:15:32,014 --> 00:15:33,849
In our final spin-off tonight

280
00:15:33,933 --> 00:15:35,935
the Simpson family
finally gets the chance

281
00:15:36,018 --> 00:15:38,562
to show off
the full range of their talents.

282
00:15:38,646 --> 00:15:41,440
Unfortunately, one family member
didn't want that chance

283
00:15:41,523 --> 00:15:43,192
and refused to participate

284
00:15:43,275 --> 00:15:45,152
but thanks
to some creative casting,

285
00:15:45,235 --> 00:15:46,820
you won't even notice.

286
00:15:46,904 --> 00:15:49,615
Show us what you got, TV.

287
00:15:49,698 --> 00:15:53,827
Live from Radio City Music Room
in downtown Springfield,

288
00:15:53,911 --> 00:15:58,666
it's The Simpson Family
Smile-Time Variety Hour,

289
00:15:58,749 --> 00:16:01,669
featuring
the Waylon Smithers Dancers

290
00:16:01,752 --> 00:16:04,630
and the Springfield
Baggy Pants Players.

291
00:16:04,713 --> 00:16:07,675
And now... a family
that doesn't know the meaning

292
00:16:07,758 --> 00:16:09,301
of the word "canceled,"

293
00:16:09,385 --> 00:16:11,679
the Simpsons!

294
00:16:11,762 --> 00:16:15,474
Come on along
and bring the family.

295
00:16:15,557 --> 00:16:18,811
Come along
and join the fun.

296
00:16:18,894 --> 00:16:22,231
Come along
and join the family.

297
00:16:22,314 --> 00:16:25,776
Join the family Simpson.

298
00:16:25,859 --> 00:16:28,028
Roll call.

299
00:16:28,112 --> 00:16:30,155
Remember me?
My name is Marge,

300
00:16:30,239 --> 00:16:32,783
the TV mom
whose hair is large.

301
00:16:34,868 --> 00:16:36,829
Step back, mom,
it's Bart's turn now.

302
00:16:36,912 --> 00:16:38,747
Eat my shorts,
don't have a cow.

303
00:16:40,916 --> 00:16:42,835
I'm Lisa, peppy,
blonde and stunning,

304
00:16:42,918 --> 00:16:45,045
sophomore prom queen
five years running.

305
00:16:45,129 --> 00:16:47,631
Go... Lisa!

306
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:52,761
Wait a minute.
Whoa, whoa.

307
00:16:52,845 --> 00:16:53,846
Stop the music.

308
00:16:53,929 --> 00:16:54,930
Where's Dad?

309
00:16:58,976 --> 00:17:01,603
- Here he is!
- I'm hiding from

310
00:17:01,687 --> 00:17:03,480
the-the-the ghost!

311
00:17:03,564 --> 00:17:06,358
- Ghost? What ghost?
- Before the show,

312
00:17:06,442 --> 00:17:09,528
you said we were having
a special ghost tonight.

313
00:17:09,611 --> 00:17:12,823
I said we were having
a special guest tonight.

314
00:17:12,906 --> 00:17:14,742
Mr. Tim Conway.

315
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:18,662
What's a Tim Conway?

316
00:17:18,746 --> 00:17:19,872
Uh, 'bout 120 pounds.

317
00:17:23,167 --> 00:17:26,045
It's the Simpson Family.

318
00:17:26,128 --> 00:17:31,258
Smile-Time Variety Hour!

319
00:17:42,394 --> 00:17:44,938
You know, Homer,
we've all been busy as beavers

320
00:17:45,022 --> 00:17:47,107
preparing for
our very own show.

321
00:17:47,191 --> 00:17:49,109
Marge, have you ever imagined

322
00:17:49,193 --> 00:17:52,112
what it would be like
if we really were beavers?

323
00:17:52,196 --> 00:17:56,992
Yes, and it might look
something like this.

324
00:18:00,162 --> 00:18:02,623
Honey I'm home.

325
00:18:05,167 --> 00:18:07,753
Hello, dear.
How was work at the plant?

326
00:18:07,836 --> 00:18:09,797
It's not a plant, Marge.

327
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,132
It's a tree, and I've
nearly chewed through it.

328
00:18:12,216 --> 00:18:14,259
Now, remember, my new boss

329
00:18:14,343 --> 00:18:16,053
is coming home
for dinner tonight.

330
00:18:16,136 --> 00:18:18,931
I know,
and I made your favorite:

331
00:18:19,014 --> 00:18:21,100
Stakes!

332
00:18:21,183 --> 00:18:24,353
Hey, would you two close the dam door?

333
00:18:24,436 --> 00:18:26,188
Bart!

334
00:18:26,271 --> 00:18:29,358
But that's where we live... a dam!

335
00:18:29,441 --> 00:18:33,362
Look, everybody!
Maggie got her first tooth!

336
00:18:37,199 --> 00:18:40,160
Okay, now,
before my boss comes,

337
00:18:40,244 --> 00:18:41,964
there's something important
you should know.

338
00:18:43,455 --> 00:18:45,374
In a minute, Homie.
I have to get the door.

339
00:18:45,457 --> 00:18:48,001
But, Marge!

340
00:18:51,630 --> 00:18:54,341
Uh, was it something I said?

341
00:18:54,424 --> 00:18:57,594
Yarr! Someone should be
keelhauled for that one.

342
00:18:59,888 --> 00:19:03,433
I move that the last sketch
be stricken from the record.

343
00:19:03,517 --> 00:19:04,935
Now, bring in the next offender.

344
00:19:07,020 --> 00:19:09,148
Inflation, trade deficit,

345
00:19:09,231 --> 00:19:11,108
horrible war atrocities...

346
00:19:11,191 --> 00:19:13,360
How are we supposed to do
our big musical number

347
00:19:13,443 --> 00:19:15,195
with so many problems
in the world?

348
00:19:15,279 --> 00:19:17,197
Well, I know
one thing in this world

349
00:19:17,281 --> 00:19:18,574
that's still pure and good.

350
00:19:18,657 --> 00:19:19,657
Christian love?

351
00:19:19,700 --> 00:19:21,994
No. Candy!

352
00:19:22,077 --> 00:19:25,122
Sweet, sweet candy!

353
00:19:29,418 --> 00:19:31,587
I want candy.

354
00:19:31,670 --> 00:19:34,047
But don't you want
to end world famine?

355
00:19:34,131 --> 00:19:36,216
I want candy.

356
00:19:36,300 --> 00:19:38,719
Or save the endangered
Alaskan salmon.

357
00:19:38,802 --> 00:19:40,804
I want candy.

358
00:19:40,888 --> 00:19:43,390
Well, if you won't think
of society's ills...

359
00:19:43,473 --> 00:19:45,559
I want candy.

360
00:19:45,642 --> 00:19:48,228
At least think
of our dentist bills.

361
00:19:52,816 --> 00:19:54,651
Got a new dance,
and it goes like this.

362
00:19:56,904 --> 00:19:59,281
And the name of the dance
is the Peppermint Twist.

363
00:20:02,409 --> 00:20:05,204
Yeah.

364
00:20:05,287 --> 00:20:07,623
Lollipop, lollipop.

365
00:20:07,706 --> 00:20:09,625
Oh, lolli, lollipop.

366
00:20:09,708 --> 00:20:11,251
Lollipop.

367
00:20:15,422 --> 00:20:17,925
Crack that whip.

368
00:20:18,008 --> 00:20:21,929
Licorice whip

369
00:20:22,012 --> 00:20:24,681
I said whip it.

370
00:20:24,765 --> 00:20:25,933
Licorice whip.

371
00:20:33,899 --> 00:20:38,237
We want candy.

372
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:42,950
We want candy.

373
00:20:43,033 --> 00:20:46,245
Candy.

374
00:20:50,499 --> 00:20:54,044
A poem, by Hans Moleman.

375
00:20:54,127 --> 00:20:57,047
I think that
I shall never see,

376
00:20:57,130 --> 00:21:01,551
my cataracts
are blinding me.

377
00:21:01,635 --> 00:21:03,011
And they thought I stunk.

378
00:21:05,055 --> 00:21:08,225
Well, it's time
to say good night.

379
00:21:08,308 --> 00:21:09,977
I wish our special guest
Tim Conway

380
00:21:10,060 --> 00:21:11,520
didn't have
to leave so soon.

381
00:21:11,603 --> 00:21:13,021
I'm still here.

382
00:21:13,105 --> 00:21:14,825
Fox wouldn't spring
for a decent hotel room.

383
00:21:17,401 --> 00:21:18,819
He's just kidding.

384
00:21:18,902 --> 00:21:20,279
We'd like to thank Fox

385
00:21:20,362 --> 00:21:22,990
and the good people
at Budget Lodge.

386
00:21:23,073 --> 00:21:25,200
Well, that's all
the time we have

387
00:21:25,284 --> 00:21:27,160
so, this is the Simpson family

388
00:21:27,244 --> 00:21:30,122
saying, "As you walk down
that road of life..."

389
00:21:30,205 --> 00:21:31,456
Hitchhike!
It's faster.

390
00:21:31,540 --> 00:21:33,625
Bart!

391
00:21:33,709 --> 00:21:36,503
We're like this all the time.

392
00:21:36,586 --> 00:21:39,464
Good night, everybody!

393
00:21:43,093 --> 00:21:45,887
That's it
for our spin-off showcase.

394
00:21:45,971 --> 00:21:48,432
But what about the show
that started it all?

395
00:21:48,515 --> 00:21:50,517
How do you keep "The Simpsons"
fresh and funny

396
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,020
after eight long years?

397
00:21:53,103 --> 00:21:55,605
Well, here's what's on tap
for season nine:

398
00:21:55,689 --> 00:21:57,983
Magic powers!

399
00:21:58,066 --> 00:22:00,777
Wedding after wedding
after wedding.

400
00:22:00,861 --> 00:22:04,197
And did someone say
long-lost triplets?

401
00:22:04,281 --> 00:22:07,534
So, join America's favorite
TV family

402
00:22:07,617 --> 00:22:11,163
and a tiny, green space alien
named Ozmodiar

403
00:22:11,246 --> 00:22:13,165
that only homer can see

404
00:22:13,248 --> 00:22:15,167
on Fox this fall.

405
00:22:15,250 --> 00:22:17,169
It'll be out of this world,

406
00:22:17,252 --> 00:22:19,004
right, Ozmodiar?

407
00:22:19,087 --> 00:22:21,006
Damn straight,
Troy, my man.

408
00:22:21,089 --> 00:22:23,467
Good night, America!

409
00:23:14,559 --> 00:23:17,813
