I stopped watching The Simpsons a long time ago. The last opinion I had of it was it suddenly became too disposable, too political, and was nothing like what it was before. That said, Death Tome is a MUST WATCH! Treehouse of Horror is an annual series of special Halloween-themed episodes of the animated sitcom The Simpsons. This is the first Treehouse of Horror episode to not have an opening sequence, and instead just opens on a book of the episode before going straight into the first segment.

ETS in a nutshell

Cookie Masterson: Where's Schmitty- Where's my staff?!?

Binjpipe: Calm down, Mr. Masterson...I know it feels like you're a man but you are actually something much MUCH more...expensive...intellectual property!

Dr. Peskin: Look, we've got a bus of Australian contest winners coming, let's just wipe his brain, ok?

Script - The Blunder Years (written by Ian Maxtone-Graham) translated to Simpsons World.

I believe these are final drafts of the revised transcripts ( since Blood Feud does not have that line which was cut for time.)

But the scripts actually have elements which were changed from the aired product - most glaring here the flashback in this episode was supposed to take part in an ambiguous year in the 70s instead of a specific date (1953.) I am surmising the change for this is to keep with the somewhat elastic timeline in connection with Homer’s age instead of the Power Plant opening (which as we recall in The Way We Was it was in the 70s, not the 50s.)

Other things to note, Mr. Burns’ concern for Sr. written in the draft and more importantly, the description of his consolation towards Jr. in the final slide.

Puts arm around Smithers tenderly

In the episode however, Burns places a hand of comfort on Waylon’s shoulder to assuage the young man’s feelings, not a full placement of contact like described.

This vs.

(yeah, technically that is romantic in the above image, but it’s an example of putting your arm around someone.)

It is unknown why it was changed, but it may be to keep more in line how Burns usually recoils towards situations and scenes dripping with emotion - as seen with the Blunder Years picture he still keeps his distance, but decides to console Waylon.

Another interesting detail brought to us by Simpsons World.

Simpsons World Launches Audio Commentary

The highlight of my night from the messed up Midnight Rx captions from SimpsonsWorld.

The dialogue is eerily appropriate and it reads like Lisa is narrating the scene before Burns sarcastically chews her out.

(The captions were actually from The Haw-Hawed Couple. Best glitch ever.)
