  I spend this whole thing confused at how the deleted scene explains why Captain Jack was just playing dead this whole time, only to finally realise it only explains why he&apos;s at the courthouse

  Very surreal seeing an actual video clip from the show in a real Jim’s video

  This is one of those few cases where &quot;well, why don&apos;t <i>you</i> do it then?&quot; is actually a GOOD response to criticism. doing it yourself helped you see how tough of a choice it actually was

  You didn&apos;t hesitate to forbid cutting out the &quot;I like that&quot; lady.<br><br>I like that.

  MIke Scully in another commentary track explained why he used the full credits so often:<br><br>He didn&apos;t like that syndication cut scenes from the broadcast versions, so he cut most of his episodes short enough to fit the entire opening credits, thinking that syndication could cut the opening and leave the episodes more intact. &nbsp;Another writer on that commentary track said that he&apos;s seen those episodes in syndication and that they leave the full opening, and cut scenes from the episodes themselves, defeating the purpose of leaving the full opening. &nbsp;Scully then let out a very pained &quot;ugh.&quot;

  this is going to sound really strange, but have you ever considered doing a simpsons histories on the pink donut? it feels like such a ubiquitous piece of simpsons iconography but from the episodes i&apos;ve seen (mostly early stuff) donuts very rarely feature in the actual show??? why is a pink donut the thing they use to represent the show and not a can of duff beer? that seems like a much better icon for the series, when did the donut suddenly take over?

  Strange seeing an actual clip from the show and not just all pictures

  TheRealJims honestly loves this episode. The amount of times he&apos;s mentioned it, it must have grown on him.

  I don’t know if this has been mentioned already - there’s 300+ comments to read, in my defence - but IIRC the reason behind the long opening credits being used in so many of Mike Scully’s episodes was intentional on his part. On one of the commentaries, I remember him saying it was to prevent scenes from the body of the episodes being cut in syndication. He was hoping it would make the people responsible for syndication cuts just edit the opening down instead of cutting scenes from the episodes.
