=o= It wasn't a bad "tie-in," just a few seconds with the Hill family and Hank Hill saying, "We drove 2000 miles for this?" (Great, another "where is Springfield?" hint.)
=o= A few characters from other cartoons have shown up briefly,
too. Not to mention the likes of Big Chief Wahoo and Colonel
Klink. It's not the same as basing a whole episode around a
character from another series, in a blatant attempt to plug
the other series, which is what "A Star Is Burns" was clearly
doing, and why Matt Groening quite rightfully had
his name removed from the episode for. .-. .-.
