Appearance on THE SIMPSONS

This season saw Principal Skinner showing one of his favorite movies to the kids at the Springfield Elementary School, "Doctor Dolittle". Milhouse quickly looked the movie up on his iPhone and yelled, "It has a 152 minute running time!" To which Nelson said, "The running time is NOW!" and he tried to run from the auditorium, but was stopped by Groundskeeper Willie and a fire hose. The kids become glassy-eyed and sleepy as the film progresses, and YES they showed actual clips from "Doctor Dolittle". It was quite funny.

As a Fox property, it became an apparent convenience.:-)

"All publicity is good publicity"

I wonder if that applies here.

:) Ha! I wonder how "Sexy Rexy" Harrison and the others, at least from the heavens, would have thought of this referencews in a more controversial show
