I know the episode from Simpsons. Never knew where it originated from.

  Interestingly, it's also referenced in Futurama.

    Most of the same writers and producers, at least from the golden age of the Simpsons. I think this is one of those bits that every cartoon that goes on long enough has to do - I'd be amazed if there isn't a Family Guy cut-away, at least.

  So much of my knowledge of my dad's generation is from Simpsons references. "Who says 'SHAZAM!'?" "Ah yes, Gomer Pyle."

    ...which got re-tread in Futurama when Fry goes back in time to become his own Grandpa by way of a nuclear weapon test - the doofy "Grandpa" Fry replaces is most definitely a pastiche of Gomer Pyle.
