Comments

• The episode features American actor Edward Norton as con artist Devon Bradley, and would feature The Doors drummer Robby Krieger as himself, however the scene he would be in was removed because Mike Scully, the show runner for the episode, felt the scene would be unnecessary. Too many "woulds". Fix prose.

• Lead needs brief summary of critical reaction

• The first mention of Marge needs article link in plot section

• Not wanting to admit they were conned, Homer and Bart go along with Marge's theory. What is Marge's theory? No mention has been made previously of this.
• After Willie is guilty.... Don't you mean found guilty?

• Originally, the episode would be about pool hustling, however as writing ensued, the script went through several incarnation until the Simpsons writers settled on the grifting story seen in the episode. Don't like the "would" here either.
  • Why not? It's just used once in the sentence.Queenieacoustic (talk) 22:56, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
• Marge's line "I didn't say that for clapping" is a reference to a speech given by John Wayne while he was intoxicated Did Wayne say this in a movie, or in real life?
• The article needs ratings data for the general population (not just children).
  • The 9.7 rating represents the general population. As with "The Lastest Gun in the West", the information regarding ratings present in the article is all I could find.Queenieacoustic (talk) 22:56, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
• It could use one more review.
  • Okay.Queenieacoustic (talk) 22:56, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
• I assume the paragraphs ending with one citation at the end are all included in that particular citation.
  • Yep.Queenieacoustic (talk) 22:56, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

• Note that I have not seen this particular episode. Please take a look at my comments above, and respond back on this page when you have made their corresponding edits. I will place the article on hold for seven days. Thanks, Ruby2010 talk 19:04, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
