Description

This article is from the The Simpsons FAQ, by Ondre Lombard wakkojr@nospam.wcat.com and Andrew Gill superluser@mail.rit.edu with numerous contributions by others.

33 The trivia questions in 3F31 said the cash register in the titles read "NRA4EVR", and that both B.G. Murphy and Dr. Marvin Monroe died during Season Six. When did Dr. Monroe die, and the FAQ just said the register reads "847.63". What's going on here? (Simpsons)

The trivia questions in 3F31 are gags made to troll the audience, just like
the images of Matt Groening, James L. Brooks, and Sam Simon in the episode
are not what those people really look like. The cash register question is
a gag referring to the people who have labeled the show as "the most
liberal on television" by portraying it as having an ultra-conservative
slant.

"Bleeding Gums" Murphy died in episode 2F32, "'Round Springfield".
Doctor Marvin Monroe, a character much-disliked by some of the writers,
passed away quietly sometime during the season, his death marked only by
the appearance of the Marvin Monroe Memorial Hospital in 2F20.
