The opening credits of "The Simpsons" shows Bart Simpson writing the same sentence over and over again on a chalkboard; the old "write it 100 times" punishment, which establishes him as a troublemaker.
The extra length of the gag would compensate for the shorter episode. This has become less common in more recent seasons, as the required length for each episode has been reduced due to additional advertising.Mar 8, 2022
Bart writes something different on the chalkboard in every episode. Lisa may play a different solo on her saxophone (or on a different instrument entirely). Homer's scream changes as he dodges Marge (first two seasons only)
