Question

The Show “Who Shot Mr. Burns?” is the only two-part episode of the Simpsons to date. Part One is the twenty-fifth and final episode of the sixth season and originally aired on the Fox network on May21, 1995. Part Two is the season premiere of the seventh season and originally aired on September 17, 1995. Springfield Elementary School strikes oil, but Mr. Burns steals it and at the same time brings misery to many of Springfield’s citizens. The first part has a cliffhanger ending where Mr. Burns is shot by an unidentified assailant. In the second part, Springfield’s police try to find the culprit, with their main suspects being Waylon Smithers and Homer Simpson.

His body is found on the town’s sundial at 11:00 PM by the townspeople. The coroner comes and at 11:30 PM takes the temperature of Mr. Burns’ body, determining it to be 90 degrees. Fifteen minutes later, just before taking the body to the morgue, he takes the body temperature again, and it has fallen two degrees. Further, the weatherman strangely remarks that the night air has been at a constant temperature for hours – 60 degrees. Police Chief Wiggum has many suspects, each of whom gives an alibi. Smithers was watching Pardon My Zinger from 10:30 – 11: PM. Lisa was practicing her saxophone at the school for Tito Puente and Marge from 10:15 – 10:45 PM. Homer arrived at Moe’s Tavern looking shaken at 10:25 and started making a long list of things he’d like to do to Mr. Burns with Moe from 10:30 – 10:45 PM but then he suddenly left and was unaccounted for. Bart was walking Maggie in her stroller in the town park, but, upset over the loss of the treehouse, Bart left her alone from 10:35 – 10:50 to spray paint some graffiti on the side of city hall (this was captured on the police camera). Bart claims he returned to the stroller to find Maggie fast asleep. Lisa indeed returns to the scene of the crime to investigate and finally figures out the identity of Burns’ true assailant.

Who was it?
