Since we're plugging the UK's Daily Mirror at the moment, did anybody read the "Shelley On The Telly" article about Sky1's weekend celebrating the 300th episode?

What confused me was when Shelley mentioned the Inside The Actors Studio which featured the voice cast. He wrote the following:

"Finally, on Inside The Actors Studio, [Harry Shearer as] Mr. Burns was asked: 'What turns you on?', answering simply, 'Smithers'."

I saw the programme too, but I could've sworn the question to Burns was "What turns you OFF?" To which he immediately replied "Smithers." The audience responded with a sad "Ahhh."

So what *was* the actual question, guys?

Most definitely "What turns you ON".

Also - does anyone know why Julie Kavner (Marge) disappeared from the show half way through without an explanation!?
