Little known fact - Mr. Burns fiendish plot to block out the sun is actually what spawned the entire "Simpsons Did It!" meme, in a way. See, back in season four of South Park, the plan was to have Cartman block out the sun - plans that had to be cancelled when the show's writers realized that The Simpsons had already done it. The episode in question for South Park was "The Wacky Molestation Adventure" - and in the end, they went another direction. The Simpsons beating them to the punch (in "Who Shot Mr. Burns"), however, was not forgotten. Years later, the show would air an episode entitled "The Simpsons Already Did it!" which would focus on Butters trying to take over the world with various zany plots, only to find that The Simpsons had already done each. Believe it or not, the two shows actually get along quite cordially.
