This might be useful. I also found
this, but it might have been for the following week's episode.
Ruby2010comment! 19:49, 28 April 2011 (UTC) I found those using a Google archive search (
[1]). Some of the other articles cost money, but if you have a subscription to any of them, I encourage you to scrounge for more ratings data. Hope that helps,

Thanks for the links! I'll implement the first one into the article soon. Yes, I'm afraid the second one rather documents the rating for "
Tales from the Public Domain", which aired the following week. I use Google archives to find ratings too! I don't have a subscription to any of those newspapers, which, I've found, can be pretty hindering when it comes to finding ratings (there are seriously NO free ratings document for ANY season 10 episode!!). If you, or perhaps someone you know on Wikipedia, has one of those subscriptions, I would be overjoyed if you'd send me some ratings info on season 10 episodes, because there's no way to get your hands on them for free. Still, thanks for the link! :)

The scene has become very popular since the episode's broadcast... Does the DVD commentary say it has become "very popular"? Or did you just conclude that after seeing it on The Daily Show?
In the commentary, Al Jean states that it is one of their most popular scenes. I can give you a transcript or send you an audio file if you don't believe me.
Entertainment Weekly should be in italics and DVD Verdict should not be
I have access to a newspaper database through my alma mater. I'm sure your local library or university would offer the same. I did a basic search and discovered a bit more about the episode's ratings (and I'm sure a lot would be found on season 10 as well). Here's what one source said:
For the week of March 4-10, CBS averaged 14.5 million viewers, NBC had 12.3 million viewers, ABC averaged 7.7 million, Fox also had 7.7 million, UPN had 3.6 million, the WB had 3.3 million and Pax TV had 1.4 million.
Listings include the week's ranking, the week's rating and full season-to-date ranking in parentheses. An X in parentheses denotes one-time-only presentation. A rating measures the percentage of the nation's 97 million TV homes.
The Simpsons, Fox, 7.9
The source for the above data is:

I'll pass the GA, with the assumption you will add the data I provided above. Let me know if you ever need other ratings help. Thanks and good luck,
