Trivia / The Simpsons S2 E5 "Dancin' Homer"

• First Appearance:
  • Not a character, but a place: this episode marks the first mention of Shelbyville.
  • This episode features the first appearance of the Capital City Goofball, the mascot for the Capital City Capitals.
• The Other Darrin: Normally, Ron Taylor voiced Bleeding Gums Murphy. However, for this episode, Daryl L. Coley is credited as the voice of Bleeding Gums Murphy.
• Write What You Know: Writer Ken Levine had worked as a minor league announcer, and decided to use that as an episode setting. He said the only resistance at first was focusing on Homer, given Bart had been the biggest draw of the series that far.
