Or am I wrong on that?<br /><br />I've always found the whole Itchy and Scratchy "They fought and bit" credit sequence very odd.<br /><br />On a similar note, for the longest time I thought the Itchy and Scratchy theme some was "We fight and fight. We fight and fight and fight."<br />Basically, all fights, no bites. So when this episode came on, I thought that end sequence was "We fought and fit." Fit being an intentionally improper past tense of fight created so the song sounded better. I'm not sure where I'm going with this...maybe that I was a dumb kid?<br /><br />Also, I was incredibly confused by the Ned Flanders short. Why it was there. Why the Simpsons hadn't done anything like it before. Why it hadn't been done again. For a long time its existence was just confusing to me. Until I got older and found out they just tacked it on because the episode was too short.Dr. Bitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13568570859981368717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266470995513648978.post-32919260509548417432012-09-07T10:43:44.372-05:002012-09-07T10:43:44.372-05:00@Sarah: I tend to forget about this one too, espec...@Sarah: I tend to forget about this one too, especially the fact the rock/paper/scissors bit comes from it. <br /><br />I don't think I've even watching enough <i>Tom & Jerry</i> to recall a specific episode.

Though i d...Wow. I forgot all about this episode...<br />Though i do remember the rock/paper/scissors bit and i've definitely witnessed you quoting it.<br />Semi related, there are some episodes of Tom and Jerry which are awesome, like the one where Jerry floods the basement and goes ice skating. And the one during thaksgiving where Jerry is babysitting another mouse and they gorge on giant olives and stuff.
