Simpsons and Edison

Post by oceanlinerfanatic »

Just noticed that the painting in this Simpsons episode is Edison listening to his phonograph.

Homer Simpson was Homer Rodeheaver in his last life, so I am told.

Did you hear the conversation between Homer & Bart in that episode? Some fairly accurate Edison history was covered, as I recall. (Including Tom Jr. and his turkey farm!)

It has been a while since I seen it but I have it on a dvd so I might watch it later today.

I think this episode was about the props on the back legs of Edison's chair.
