a b c d Scully, Mike (2005). The Simpsons season 7 DVD commentary for the episode "Team Homer" (DVD). 20th Century Fox.

Production [ edit ] Mike Scully wrote the episode. He came up with the idea for it when he went bowling one day. In one scene, Homer tells Marge: "We were so close to winning the championship. Now, thanks to Burns, it's never going to happen. And I spent so much time building that trophy case." The scene then cuts to the trophy case with an Academy Award in it that Homer has stolen. In the original Fox broadcast, the name in the inscription on the Academy Award was Haing S. Ngor. In American syndication and the season seven DVD, the name was changed to Don Ameche (who had won for Cocoon). Ngor, who won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for the 1984 film The Killing Fields, was murdered on February 25, 1996, between the original and the syndicated broadcast. Producers were concerned the syndicated episode would imply Homer had murdered Ngor to steal the statue. [3] Cultural references [ edit ]a b Martyn, Warren; Wood, Adrian (2000). "Team Homer".
