    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      This was the first episode to be digitally colored. It would not be attempted again until season 12's Tennis the Menace (2001), and again in season 14's Treehouse of Horror XIII (2002). Beginning with The Great Louse Detective (2002), the show permanently switched to digital coloring.
    • Goofs
      In the auditions for Fallout Boy, Bart is rejected because he is apparently an inch too short and Milhouse is accepted; however, Bart is taller than Milhouse. (Note: This may have been deliberate as the entire episode pokes fun at the incompetence of Hollywood. For example, multiple cameras can be used for a single scene instead of re-shooting the same scene from different angles. Also, a child actor should not have been present when real acid was used.)
