SIMPSONS, THE - The Day the Violence Died

Air Date/Released Sunday, March 17, 1996
Station/Studio Fox / 20th Century Fox TV

Satirical, animated sitcom adventures of the dysfunctional, working class Simpsons family. The strange town of Springfield is their home, populated by a mixture of neurotics and socially stunted weirdos.

Bart and Lisa encounter an elderly gentleman who claims to have created the stars of Bart’s favorite cartoon, “Itchy & Scratchy” in 1919. Seeking to sue the I&S Studios for $800MM, Bart helps the man win the case but with unintended consequences... the studio is forced out of business and THE ITCHY & SCRATCHY SHOW is cancelled and replaced with a relaunch of SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK. SCHOOLHOUSE’s “I’m Just a Bill” segment is parodied, and one of the bills is shown carrying a bomb into the Capitol Building, mugging for the camera with the sounds of Curly Howard... Whoop, whoop, whoop!
