This non-canon[1] episode is a parody of Behind the Music, the popular VH1 biography show, even sharing the same narrator, Jim Forbes. This article is not about Literary canons of influential works of fiction but about the concept of a canon which defines the world of a particular fictional series Behind the Music was a Television series on VH1 that ran from 1997 to 2006, and continues to air sporadically with new episodes VH1 (known as VH-1 Video Hits One from 1985 to 1994 and VH1 Music First until 2003) is an American Cable television Jim Forbes (born April 1, 1955) may be best known culturally for his narration on VH1's Behind the Music. It begins with the Simpson family history and how they got into show business. The Simpson family is a family of Fictional characters featured in the animated television series The Simpsons. The first part of the fake documentary follows the family from their weak beginnings to their exceptional prosperity. A television show, a recording contract, a lot of awards, and countless wealth follow Homer's inadequate video "pilot". Homer Jay Simpson is a main fictional character in the animated television series The Simpsons and father of the eponymous family. A television pilot is a test episode of an intended Television series.
However, problems begin to arise as the Simpsons' fame continues. After a funny stunt causes him injury (the cliff plummet from "Bart the Daredevil," after a montage of Homer injury clips), Homer becomes addicted to prescription painkillers, Marge makes some senseless business investments, and Bart goes to rehab. " Bart the Daredevil " is the eighth episode of The Simpsons ' second season. Marjorie "Marge" Simpson (née Bouvier) is a Fictional character featured in the animated television series The Simpsons Bartholomew J "Bart" Simpson is a character in the animated television series The Simpsons The IRS examines soon after and takes away their house (called "Homertime", since it belonged to rapper MC Hammer before he went bankrupt and was called "Hammertime").

The Iowa State Fair is an annual State fair held in Des Moines, Iowa.
Fox is forced to put the show on hiatus, since none of the Simpsons will talk to each other. The members go their independent ways: Homer follows a career in the legitimate theater; Bart replaces Lorenzo Lamas as the star of the syndicated action show Renegade; Marge makes a nightclub act performing Bob Marley's song I Shot the Sheriff; and Lisa writes a tell-all book about her experiences. Lorenzo Lamas (born on January 20, 1958 in Santa Monica California) is an American actor Renegade was a US Television series that ran for 5 seasons and 110 episodes between September 17, 1992 and April 4 Robert "Bob" Nesta Marley OM (February 6 1945 – May 11 1981 was a Jamaican Musician, Singer-songwriter and Rastafarian " I Shot the Sheriff " is a song written by Bob Marley. Lisa Marie Simpson is a Fictional character in the animated Television series The Simpsons and is voiced by Yeardley Smith. Bringing the family back together seems hopeless until country singer Willie Nelson puts on a phony awards show in order to reconcile the family. Willie Nelson (born April 30, 1933) is an American country Singer-songwriter and Actor. They hug and forget past wrongs in a sensitive reunion. Again, they look with hope to the many years of episodes of the Simpsons to come. . . or not.
The episode ends with an epilogue, in which the narrator states, ". . . the future looks brighter than ever for this northern Kentucky family. " (See below for analysis of this line. ) Following the epilogue, we see the Simpson family in a video editing room, viewing a scene from an upcoming episode, which Homer claims will be in the last season. The scene shows the family talking about winning a trip to Delaware, and was later used as an actual scene in the episode, "Simpsons Tall Tales". " Simpsons Tall Tales " is the season finale and twenty-first episode of the twelfth season of The Simpsons. [2] The final scene shows a mock teaser for an "upcoming episode" of Behind the Laughter about Huckleberry Hound. Huckleberry "Huck" Hound is a fictional cartoon character created and produced by Hanna-Barbera, and the star of the 1958 syndicated animated series The teaser shows the character revealing that he was gay.
Stating that the family is from Kentucky would seem to mark the end of a long-running joke seen throughout the series, which would continually (and sometimes narrowly) avoid mentioning the Simpson family's state of residence. A US state is any one of the fifty subnational entities of the United States of America that share Sovereignty with the federal government [1][2] However, the episode is non-canon, being about the actors who play the Simpson family rather than the Simpsons themselves. This article is not about Literary canons of influential works of fiction but about the concept of a canon which defines the world of a particular fictional series In at least one network rerun, the state was changed to southern Missouri. The original line was kept in Canadian broadcasts, and is inconsistent in syndicated reruns. Which line will be used on the DVD set is unknown at this time. [1]
