Sadly, in the US the syndicated episodes have bits cut out of them to allow more time for commercials. Most of files on kazaa were capped from US syndication episodes. These cuts can be very stupid sometimes, i.e. leaving in the setup for a joke but cutting out the punchline.
>I loved this episode, but I never NEVER did understand the rakes. Is >it an allusion to something else? I always just considered it a way to fill up another 10 seconds.
The rake scene was always controversial. It wasn't a refernce to anything, the point being that Bob is such a loser, he has to put up with slapstick comedy not only in his role on TV, but in real life as well. Back in the days of alt.tv.simpsons, "rake scene" was a term for a pointless time-filling bit that was likely to be cut in syndication.

"'The Simpsons' must have heart to be good" is the most irritating party line EVER.
But when the mood is nihilistic, the show is simply cruel.

That's because, thank god, it gets cut during syndication. You've seen it once, that's enough.
The thing about the rampant cynicism in later Simpsons is that while the jokes evoke laughter at first, they don't hold up upon repeated viewings, an important factor considering its syndication. The worst is when the jokes get old as they're being told. After the humor's worn off, all you have left is the maliciousness for the sake of being malicious. A viewer will close him/herself off to avoid identifying closely with the victim and perpetrator. You have the exact opposite when there's warmth in the telling.

Det ser mørkt ut for NARS serien i fremtiden. Hva kommer egentlig dette av?
