Talk:How the Test Was Won

Ripoff

It would be great if we could find a source that mentions that this was heavily ripped off of the King of the Hill episode No Bobby Left Behind. Some guy (talk) 06:13, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Strange

Have all the comments from critics that are available been included? I wonder because this episode seems to have gotten scathing reviews, but fans on Hulu seem to have enjoyed it and seem to think it was one of the best episodes in a long time. 70.171.231.243 (talk) 21:35, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

I will look for some more reviews tomorrow. TheLeftorium 21:39, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Lay Reviews

On tv.com, 20 people, seem to disagree as well. As as of the time of this entry: 35% SAY 5/5 (best episode ever), 45% say 4/5 (Woohoo!), and 20% said 3/5 (meh!). None rated it below that:

I don't know the policy on fan reviews though, but as a fan of the Simpsons it seems like many critics and some disgruntled fans like to constantly berate the show...most of the time needlessly. Rafajs77 (talk) 21:52, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

TV.com

I remember that I had put down a review of the episode from TV.com, but it had been deleted. If it wasn't enough information, there was a reference to it for proof. Why did it get deleted —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.72.130.234 (talk) 13:34, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Change

Maybe it would be smart to change the table in the simpson episode pages, since there are a lot more gags in the opening scene (like ralph and barny saying different things, the ad-banner in the beginning etc.) that change everytime.

Cultural references

The composition that is heard in the orphanage is fantasy-impromptu by Chopin, I think it worth mentioning it. --ElTio (talk) 07:18, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
