“Town Crier, I’d like to ask you a few questions. One, where’s the fife? And two, gimme the fife.” – Homer Simpson
“Hey, stop! I’ve got nothing but respect for the office of Town Crier, but this is well outside your jurisdiction!” – Hollis Hurlbut
One of Bill Oakley’s favorite lines, and rightly so.
Donald Sutherland is great in this episode, the perfect choice for a stuffy historian with something sinister to hide. That’s what I love about Season 7 and 8’s guest stars – Bill and Josh didn’t go for flavors of the week, or celebrities they just felt like meeting, they actually thought seriously about who would be the best actor for the part.
I think Donald Sutherland is my favourite guest voice. His delivery is perfect
Wasn’t it “Homer Simpson, Town Crier.”?
