Some may be, but others were actually short in the original run.  Most
of those showed the blackboard, then skipped to the driveway & couch.

I didn't think they did, either.  He just quit showing up, and they
said that he was dead during that clip show.  They didn't make a big
deal out of it, like they did Murphy or Maude Flanders.

No, Troy and Lionel Hutz were quietly "retired" when the actor who voiced
them was murdered.  I had his name on the tip of my tongue, and now I
can't recall it!
