Trivia / The Simpsons S16 E21: "The Father, the Son, and the Holy Guest Star"

• Distanced from Current Events: Due to the death of Pope John Paul II, FOX pulled the episode from its originally scheduled 10 April 2005 premiere. It was originally intended to be held over to Season 17, but FOX gave permission for it to air in time for it to become the Season 16 finale while the original finale, "The Girl Who Slept Too Little" (where Lisa becomes too scared to sleep after the Springfield Cemetery is moved next to the Simpson house), was aired as a season 17 episode.
