One last visit with the featured movie of the month......
Although Phil Silvers was already dead by the time this episode of 'The Simpsons' was first broadcast (November 1, 1985 vs. January 6, 1994), his portrayal of Otto Meyer in "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" must have been considered by the producers to be the most recognizable of the "Big W" treasure hunters. (Buddy Hackett's Benjy Benjamin shows up at the dig site as well.)
Or it could be that the original scene from the movie was the best place to insert Bart Simpson......
BCnU!
