"Four Regrettings and a Funeral" - Episode Discussion

From The Simpsons Archive

Four Regrettings and a Funeral
Episode RABF18

A death in Springfield leads four characters to look back at moments they now regret; Homer selling Apple stock to buy a bowling ball, Marge for something she believes turned Bart into who he is, Mr. Burns breaking up with a French woman, and Kent Brockman not taking a job with Fox News.

I wonder what the thing is Marge thinks changed Bart into who he is? Do you remember that episode (I forget which one it was), where Homer says "Well Marge, you did have that one bit of alcohol when you were pregnant with Bart." then we see a scene of a bottle of wine being smashed on a ship, and one drop flies into Marge's mouth, turning Bart into the boy we know now!
I doubt it'll be the same thing, but who knows?

That would be some continuity!

I was surprised they mentioned Apple by its original name. Previously, it was called Mapple. But it was funny that they had the Apple disclaimer in the episode.

OMG! I can't believe they killed Chip Davis!

I feel like a big part of my childhood died with him. So many memories. He was truly the 6th Simpson. R.I.P. Chip! We'll never forget you!

Be sure to catch the very beginning of the opening (chalkboard gag) and the very end of the credits. It's the two tributes to Marcia Wallace.

OK, I finally got around to watching it (I know, naughty me), and I can't believe it! Marge listened to Kiss while she was pregnant with Bart!? That does explain quite a lot though.
Also, it is such a shame we lost one of our Duffmen. You shall be missed Chip!
And I agree Grilka, it's odd that they would use the real name 'Apple', rather than 'Mapple'. I also noticed that they were still using the Mapple logo.

I can't find the source, but I heard that Apple was displeased with the negative way that it was portrayed in the Mapple episode. So that was why Apple was continually referenced so favourably, and why the text at the end said "That will be the last time we suck up to apple, we aren't even being paid for this!" or whatever it said.
