| - "22 Short Films About Springfield" is the twenty-first episode of The Simpsons seventh season, which originally aired on April 14, 1996. It was written by Richard Appel, David S. Cohen, Jonathan Collier, Jennifer Crittenden, Greg Daniels, Brent Forrester, Rachel Pulido, Steve Tompkins, Josh Weinstein, Bill Oakley and Matt Groening, with the writing being supervised by Greg Daniels. The episode was directed by Jim Reardon. The staff loved the concept and attempted to fit similar scenes into other episodes, but none were short enough to require one. Show runners Bill Oakley and Josh Weinstein decided to make an entire episode of linked short scenes involving many of the show's characters, in a similar style to Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction. Originally there were more scenes, but several of them had to be cut out for time. Brent Forrester wrote the Krusty Burger scene, The episode's first draft was 65 pages long and needed to be cut down to just 42, so numerous scenes were cut for time or because they did not fit into the overall dynamic of the episode. Those that were hard to link were put before or after an act break or were given a theme song, one of which was cut from the Apu story, but was included as a deleted scene on the DVD. The two run into Herman's Military Antique shop, where Herman beats, ties up and gags the two, then waits for "Zed" to arrive, exactly as Maynard does in Pulp Fiction. The episode is Bill Oakley's personal favorite episode, but it is hated by two prominent figures within the running of the show. Warren Martyn and Adrian Wood, the authors of the book I Can't Believe It's a Bigger and Better Updated Unofficial Simpsons Guide, called it "an untypical episode, and a very good one," naming the Skinner and Chalmers story as the best. Empire named the episode's Pulp Fiction parody the seventh best film gag in the show, calling Wiggum and Snake bound and gagged with red balls in their mouths "the sickest visual gag in Simpsons history". The episode is the favorite of British comedian Jimmy Carr who called it "a brilliant pastiche of art cinema". (en)

Originalmente había más escenas, pero muchas de ellas debieron ser editadas por falta de tiempo. Brent Forrester escribió la escena en Krusty Burger, El guión original del episodio era de 65 páginas y debió ser reducido hasta sólo 42, por lo que numerosas escenas fueron cortadas por falta de tiempo o porque simplemente no tenían relación alguna con las demás. Las escenas que eran difíciles de relacionar fueron puestas antes o después de la finalización de un acto o se les dio una secuencia de presentación y una canción, una de las cuales fue cortada en la escena de Apu, e incluida en el DVD de la séptima temporada de la serie. Los dos entran en la tienda de antigüedades militares de Herman, en donde éste los ata a ambos en una silla, y espera que llegue "Zed", exactamente igual que Maynard en Pulp Fiction. El episodio es el favorito de Bill Oakley, pero es odiado por dos figuras prominentes del elenco del programa. Warren Martyn y Adrian Wood, los autores del libro I Can't Believe It's a Bigger and Better Updated Unofficial Simpsons Guide, describieron el episodio como "poco típico, pero muy bueno", eligiendo la historia de Skinner y Chalmers como la mejor. La revista Empire nombró la parodia de Pulp Fiction del episodio como la séptima mejor referencia a una película en la serie, diciendo que la escena de Wiggum y Snake atados y con las bocas selladas era "el gag visual más extraño de la historia de Los Simpson". El episodio es el favorito del comediante británico Jimmy Carr quien lo denominó "una muestra brillante del arte del cine". (es)
