Is "a wizard did it" a Simpsons quote?

it seems awfully familiar....but I can't seem to place it....

Thanks for your help

Sam

Allow me to cut and paste the quote from SNPP.

% Lucy Lawless, TV's Xena on "Xena: Warrior Princess" addresses a % group of her fans.

Lawless:        ... but I'm sure that once girls get to know the
                real you, you'll get plenty of dates.  Next
                question.
                [hands go up.  She picks Frink]
Frink:          Yes, over here, n'hey, n'hey.  In episode BF12, you
                were battling barbarians while riding a winged
                Appaloosa, yet in the very next scene, my dear,
                you're clearly atop a winged Arabian.  Please do
                explain it.
Lawless:        Ah, yeah, well, whenever you notice something like
                that, a wizard did it.
Frink:          I see, all right, yes, but in episode AG4 --
Lawless:        Wizard.
Frink:          [under breath] Aw, for glaven out loud.
-- And thus, an a.t.s. clich� is born, "Treehouse of Horror X"

An overused one at that...

Actually, it was a Q&A with Lucy Lawless. :-)

Why are you guys so obsessed with that "Baker Street" song? BTW, I heard that Smithers is gay!

He turned gay when he found out Springfield was in San Francisco. While downloading illegal Simpsons episode files from a great, secret site, he stumbled upon that information.

A wizard did it is the Xena Warrior Princess thing. When the geeks go to the book signing or whatever they point out some descrepances in the show, and Xena says whenever you see something like that A wizard did it.

hope this helps you out -simpman

It was more like Smithers had a very good tan during that season 1 episode..

We've come full circle.

I can't believe 'Baker Street' replaced 'Smell ya later'
