What happened to the fake credits? And why did they specifically say that Dan Castellaneta did the Dennis Miller voice? That sure was silly.

I noticed that too, I missed the James "HELL" Brooks, et all. Was this also due to the 9/11 stuff or was it just an oversight?

That's what I was thinking - could it have been an oversight, after 10 years of fake names (remember toh [i] didn't have them)? Well, Harry Shearer might have been happy (anyone know why his name wasn't humorous in many tohs?)...but I wonder if it may have been due to 9/11 somehow also - it seems ridiculous as I can't imagine what reasons they would have.

Other question about 9/11--is anyone else surprised that they didn't cut the "helicopter crashing through Moe's" scene?

No not at all...what would surprise me would be if some hypersensitive person didn't ask that question. How about, "hey, aren't you surprised they didn't cut that scene after the plane crashed over Lockerbee (sp?) or flight 800 crashed or...etc, etc." Sept. 11 is not the first time something ever crashed. We never expected anything to be changed after any of those incidents so why now?

I'm not offended or anything by the crashing helicopter--I'm just surprised the oversensitive network censors didn't do anything.

I wasn't meaning that it was, I was lamenting that it MIGHT be. It seems that a lot of stuff is related to 9/11, if we want it that way or not. Honestly, I'm sick of it. No offense to anyone who knows someone who died or feels insecure, but I'm not going to be offended if they show "Homer vs. New York." I'm sick of all of the disaster relief funds and benefit concerts. Can't we move on? I'm not trying to be rude or "offensive" but I'M OFFENDED by all of the people being offended, yet they continue to show these thugs and bring it up.

Yes it was a tragedy, yes it was horrible, and yes, we were all affected.

But that was almost two months ago, America survived as we will always survive. It is now time to move through the grief and return to normal.

Censoring television is never going to make the bad feelings go away, just push them deeper inside where they can sit and fester until we explode.

*sigh*

Andy(atuc.com), wants to apologize if he offended anyone and for ranting about something waaay OT...but he needed to vent...

The episode simply reeked of unenthusiasm and carelessness.

Was it nessessary to CONSTANTLY remind the viewers that Pierce Brosnan guest voiced in the second segment. What's wrong with letting the audience be surprised when they hear the voice?

How come the last two THOH episodes have been short on terror and gore and heavy on bizzare plots and fantasy situations. "I Know What You Did-Diddly Did" was the last THOH segment to use real horrific elements.

Homer complains about missing half his head in the second segment. Thats fine. But where is the huge hole in the VERY NEXT SHOT??

There's a fine line between gore and disgusting visual gags. The vomiting frog? Smithers eating Burns? Please.

I don't know. The "fairy tales" segment of the last TOH was particularly gruesome, especially when Little Red Riding Hood's blood starts seeping out from underneath the Three Bears' house door. Ewww.

Considering the source material, that segment was quite tame.

Maybe after all the guest stars they've had over the years, viewers are too accustomed to actually having the person on rather than an impersonation. I know that if Maurice LaMarche had been credited like that for William Shatner and George C. Scott in "A Star Is Burns," I wouldn't have spent so many viewings trying to figure out just who the hell he played.
