in "MacGyver" episode #58, "Blow Out" (original airdate 21-Dec-1987), MacGyver crawls underneath a bad guy's car, hangs a yellow paint can on the exhaust, then pokes a hole in the can. the suspects return to the car and drives off - dripping yellow paint on the pavement. MacGyver casually returns to his car. the woman in his car asks him what they are going to do. he replies, "Follow the yellow brick road."

from "The Simpsons" episode 2F09, "Homer The Great" (original airdate 8-Jan-95) http://www.snpp.com/episodes/2F09.html " Homer's head pops up from some bushes, then disappears again. He tiptoes up to Lenny's car, attaches a can of yellow paint to the trailer hitch, pokes a hole in the bottom of it, then jumps out of sight just in time as Lenny and Carl get in and drive off. "Heh heh heh, all I have to do is follow the yellow drip road," Homer chuckles. "

a MacGyver reference? how many times has MacGyer been referenced?

POE, -rr

Bonus question: how many times has Richard Dean Anderson been mentioned by name (as opposed to somebody making it sound like MacGyver was a real person - for example, when Jay Sherman tells Patty and Selma that MacGyver is gay in "A Star is Burns")?

Oy! Listen to Serok4242's latest shpiel!

Assuming Springfield Cable (which is apparently now enjoyed by the majority of Springfieldians) carries TVLand, they can still watch it. Plus, they probably have a video library built up.

Are you certain it's on TVLand? I know it's on Spike TV. If memory serves, it's 12.00 noon weekdays.

Well, according to the Yahoo! TV listings at http://tinyurl.com/3fbxc * MacGyver is on at 04:00am and 12:00pm CDT on TVLand, and 10:00am CDT on SpikeTV. So that's *thrice* a day the Bouvier sisters can watch.

Except they won't call it TVLand. They will call it TVCountry or CathodeRayTubeLand, so there won't be any copyright problems.

Neither; they're just the voice talent.
