    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The idea behind the Itchy & Scratchy cartoons is nothing more than an "extremely violent" version of the old Tom & Jerry cartoons. Their names however were inspired by Pixie & Dixie, a backup feature on The Huckleberry Hound Show (1958). Pixie & Dixie were mice who were "the best of friends" and always overcame Mr. Jinx the Cat.
    • Goofs
      Homer's description of Krusty to the police sketch artist isn't even right, even saying he has red hair, yet the artist comes up with a completely accurate image of Krusty.
    • Quotes

      Krusty the Clown: Hand over all your money in a paper bag!

      Apu: Yes, yes, I know the procedure for armed robbery. I do work in a convenience store, you know.

    Best episode after the bowling marge episode

    The introduction to Krusty the clown character is a killer episode, a 9.5/10. Second best from an Amazing season 1, My ranking for Season 1 Number 1 : " Life on the fast lane " 10/10 2 : Krusty gets busted and The Pilot 4 : Bart the genius 5: The crepes of wrath Season 1 of the Simpsons is an outstanding piece of TV, maybe the best Season ever of the Simpsons.
