Trivia / The Simpsons S5 E13 "Homer and Apu"

• Deleted Scene:
  • A sequence cut for time reasons had Apu showing the Simpsons a stereotypical Bollywood movie (with Bart commenting that it sucks and Homer commenting that it's funny because the actors in it are wearing different clothes than he is). This would be shown for the first time in "The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular".
  • Bart has to sleep in Lisa's room because Apu has taken his.
  • James Woods' job interview was longer.
  • Homer on board the plane.
  • Homer and Apu talking to each other around a fire.
  • Apu wears a wig.
• Release Date Change: The episode was originally going to air on January 27, 1994, but the effects of the Northridge Earthquake meant it couldn't be completed in time and it was moved to February 10 (a repeat of "Dead Putting Society" from season two aired on the originally scheduled date instead).
• What Could Have Been: James Woods' role was originally meant for Michael Caine, who turned it down. The original joke was that Caine would do anything, even work at the Kwik-E Mart. There was also discussion of David Bowie potentially appearing.
