Is the part in the Simpsons in POT


As the part where Aunt Gladys dies and you see Marge hold hands with her 2 sisters and so do they in the pool

The most obvious POT reference in The Simpsons is in the "Fear of Flying" episode, where Marge visits a psychiatrist. At the end she whispers the name "Lowenstein", even though that's not the psychiatrist's real name.

The kids in the water scene from Toms initial narration is spoofed in "Selma's Choice". Marge imagines it upon hearing of the death of a previously unknown aunt Gladys.
In the "Fear of Flying" episode Marge whispers "Lowenstein" and continues to do so, even when the psychiatrist says: "My name is Zweig."

The Simpsons did a great pastiche of the film. I'm sure the makers are great fans of the movie.
