Oh man, the art in the opening frame is simply awesome. I'm not so vain as to call it channel-*-art, but it's an awesome gag I completely forgot about - or had I ever even really noticed it??

@James - well, OFF didn't really get much recognition for its past instances of genius in the Sift's first year, so perhaps we're making up for lost ground. For something which has provided the broadest cultural reference point for an entire generation the world over, you've got to admit they've earned the right for recognition.

Sorry, as bumbling as Homer is, I don't buy the not knowing Mr. Burns first name. I call consistency of character error.

Dotdude, I think at the time of this episode Mr. Burns first name had never been mentioned in an episode. So, the joke is not only that Homer didn't know his name, but it was also an inside joke with the audience because we didn't know his name either.
I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

No, I think it was known by this point in time - it was, however, an example of Homer's deteriorating intelligence.
