Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe drummer who plays with The Who during their performance is modeled after their late drummer, Keith Moon, instead of their actual drummer at the time. This was done at the request of The Who as a tribute to Moon.
- Alternate versionsIn the episode "A Tale of Two Springfields", after Homer gets attacked by the Badger, Lisa tells Homer to call animal control. Homer then agrees but lifts up his shirt and suggests that they take care of his wound first. In syndication, they cut out Lisa's inquiry on how the badger managed to injure Homer without tearing his shirt, and his reply, "What am I, a tailor?"

Featured review
"Who huddle"; worth watching just because it has The Who!
A Tale of Two Springfields is one of those things that could have been stellar, I mean not any given day you can have legends of the caliber of The Who, plus the promise was pretty good (Springfield is divided, old and new Springfield, a side for the rich and a side for the poor). However I would say this is yet another good-that-could-have-been-great episode from Season 12. We all know how Simpsons shows begin with something and end with something completely different. Here he whole thing begins with Bart finding a badger, and only gets good till Springfield is finally divided. Yes, the episode is not constant and frankly some parts are completely forgettable. It only gets good when the two Springfields begin to fight against each other, and it only gets fantastic once The Who appear. Is just hilarious and definitely one of the highlights of the season to have Homer meeting The Who! You just have to love Homer talking with The Who: "Now, these are the tunes I want you boys to play" "Wait a minute. Homer, a lot of these are Grand Funk Railroad songs". "So, New Springfield's looking pretty good now, isn't it, with our ample parking, and daily Who concerts" "Daily?". So pray, WE DON'T GET FOOLED AGAIN! And don't forget, Carl is the black and Lenny the white!
