Just off the top of my head.
Commercial television RUINED that ending, too. It was beautifully done, with Homer sitting on the hood of his car, looking at the sky. I dunno, for The Simpsons, it was a really sweetly done conclusion to the episode, and then somewhere around the 1999-2001 period TV started doing that thing where it squishes the credits to half-screen and starts loudly advertising whatever's coming up over whatever is playing on the other show, so it pretty much removes any and all atmospheric effect that was present and completely destroys the moment.

WAY TO GO, CHANNEL TEN.
