"'Round Springfield" is the twenty-second episode of the <a href="The_Simpsons_season_6" title="The Simpsons season 6">sixth season</a> of the American animated television series <a href="The_Simpsons" title="The Simpsons">The Simpsons</a>. It originally aired on <a href="Fox_Broadcasting_Company" title="Fox Broadcasting Company">Fox</a> in the United States on April 30, 1995.<a href="#cite_note-book-1">[1]</a> In the episode, <a href="Bart_Simpson" title="Bart Simpson">Bart</a> (<a href="Nancy_Cartwright" title="Nancy Cartwright">Nancy Cartwright</a>) is hospitalized after eating a piece of jagged metal in his Krusty-O's cereal and sues <a href="Krusty_the_Clown" title="Krusty the Clown">Krusty the Clown</a> (<a href="Dan_Castellaneta" title="Dan Castellaneta">Dan Castellaneta</a>). While visiting Bart, <a href="Lisa_Simpson" title="Lisa Simpson">Lisa</a> (<a href="Yeardley_Smith" title="Yeardley Smith">Yeardley Smith</a>) discovers her old mentor, jazz musician <a href="Bleeding_Gums_Murphy" class="mw-redirect" title="Bleeding Gums Murphy">Oscar "Bleeding Gums" Murphy</a>, is also in the hospital. When he dies suddenly, she resolves to honor his memory. <a href="Steve_Allen" title="Steve Allen">Steve Allen</a> (as himself) and <a href="Ron_Taylor_(actor)" title="Ron Taylor (actor)">Ron Taylor</a> (as "Bleeding Gums" Murphy) guest star, each in his second appearance on the show. <a href="Dan_Higgins" title="Dan Higgins">Dan Higgins</a> also returns as the writer and performer of all of Lisa and Bleeding Gums' <a href="Saxophone" title="Saxophone">saxophone</a> solos.

The episode was written by <a href="Joshua_Sternin" title="Joshua Sternin">Joshua Sternin</a> and <a href="Jennifer_Ventimilia" title="Jennifer Ventimilia">Jennifer Ventimilia</a> – based on a story idea by <a href="Al_Jean" title="Al Jean">Al Jean</a> and <a href="Mike_Reiss" title="Mike Reiss">Mike Reiss</a> – and was the first episode directed by <a href="Steven_Dean_Moore" title="Steven Dean Moore">Steven Dean Moore</a>. Jean and Reiss, who were previously the series' showrunners, returned to produce this episode (as well as "<a href="A_Star_Is_Burns" title="A Star Is Burns">A Star Is Burns</a>") to ease the workload of the show's regular staff. They worked on it alongside the staff of <a href="The_Critic" title="The Critic">The Critic</a>, the series they had left The Simpsons to create. The episode marks the series' first time that a recurring character was killed off, something the staff had considered for a while. The episode features numerous cultural references, including <a href="Carole_King" title="Carole King">Carole King</a>'s song "<a href="Jazzman" title="Jazzman">Jazzman</a>", the actor <a href="James_Earl_Jones" title="James Earl Jones">James Earl Jones</a> and the <a href="Kimba_the_White_Lion#Lion_King" title="Kimba the White Lion">Kimba the White Lion/The Lion King</a> controversy.

The episode also features the phrase "<a href="Cheese-eating_surrender_monkeys" title="Cheese-eating surrender monkeys">cheese-eating surrender monkeys</a>", used by <a href="Groundskeeper_Willie" title="Groundskeeper Willie">Groundskeeper Willie</a> to describe the <a href="French_people" title="French people">French</a>. The phrase has since entered the public lexicon. It has been used and referenced by journalists and academics, and it appears in two <a href="Oxford_University_Press" title="Oxford University Press">Oxford</a> quotation dictionaries.

<a href="Bart_Simpson" title="Bart Simpson">Bart</a> gets a stomach ache after accidentally eating a jagged metal <a href="Products_produced_from_The_Simpsons#Krusty-O's" title="Products produced from The Simpsons">Krusty-O</a> <a href="Cereal_box_prize" title="Cereal box prize">prize</a> packed in his breakfast cereal. Thinking Bart is feigning illness to avoid a history test, <a href="Homer_Simpson" title="Homer Simpson">Homer</a> and <a href="Marge_Simpson" title="Marge Simpson">Marge</a> send him to school anyway. After Bart struggles through the test, <a href="Edna_Krabappel" title="Edna Krabappel">Mrs. Krabappel</a> eventually allows him to walk to the nurse's office, but Bart soon collapses moments after his arrival, which was staffed by Lunchlady Doris as a result of budget cuts. He is taken to Springfield General Hospital, where he undergoes <a href="Appendicitis" title="Appendicitis">appendicitis</a> surgery from <a href="Dr._Hibbert" title="Dr. Hibbert">Dr. Hibbert</a> and <a href="Dr._Nick_(The_Simpsons)" class="mw-redirect" title="Dr. Nick (The Simpsons)">Dr. Nick</a>. While visiting Bart in the hospital, <a href="Lisa_Simpson" title="Lisa Simpson">Lisa</a> discovers her hero, jazzman <a href="Bleeding_Gums_Murphy" class="mw-redirect" title="Bleeding Gums Murphy">Oscar "Bleeding Gums" Murphy</a>, is a patient in another ward. Murphy tells Lisa his life story; he learned his jazz from Blind Willie Witherspoon, then got his big break appearing on <a href="Tonight_Starring_Steve_Allen" title="Tonight Starring Steve Allen">Tonight Starring Steve Allen</a> (though instead of Murphy performing a solo spot, Allen proceeds to recite poetry and promote his books over Murphy's playing leading him to walk off), but was left penniless after having exhausted the royalties from his only album, Sax on the Beach, on a $1,500-a-day <a href="Faberg%C3%A9_egg" title="Fabergé egg">Fabergé egg</a> habit, though he made one last shot at a comeback with a guest spot on <a href="The_Cosby_Show" title="The Cosby Show">The Cosby Show</a> in 1986.

Lisa spends time with Murphy, who lends her his saxophone for a school recital. Due to Bart's classmates demanding to have appendectomies of their own, the orchestra is left with only three students at the recital. The recital is a success after Lisa's improvisation is a hit with the crowd, but when she returns to the hospital to visit Bleeding Gums, she learns he has died, leaving her devastated. At Bleeding Gums' funeral, Lisa is the only person who attends, while <a href="Reverend_Lovejoy" title="Reverend Lovejoy">Reverend Lovejoy</a> misnames him and misidentifies him, and Lisa ultimately vows to make sure that everyone in Springfield appreciates Bleeding Gums' musical legacy. Meanwhile, Bart sues <a href="Krusty_the_Clown" title="Krusty the Clown">Krusty the Clown</a> and is given a $100,000 <a href="Settlement_(litigation)" title="Settlement (litigation)">settlement</a>. After Bart's attorney <a href="Lionel_Hutz" title="Lionel Hutz">Lionel Hutz</a> deducts his legal fees, Bart is left with only $500.

Still stricken with grief, Lisa decides that the best way to honor Bleeding Gums' memory is by having his album played on the local jazz station. Lisa spots it at the <a href="Springfield_(The_Simpsons)#The_Android's_Dungeon_&_Baseball_Card_Shop" title="Springfield (The Simpsons)">Android's Dungeon</a> for $250; after hearing that Bleeding Gums is dead, <a href="Comic_Book_Guy" title="Comic Book Guy">Comic Book Guy</a> doubles the price to $500. As she leaves, Bart arrives with his $500 settlement to buy a <a href="Milk_caps_(game)" title="Milk caps (game)">pog</a> with Steve Allen's face. After seeing his sister's sad face through the shop window, Bart buys Lisa the album because she was the only one who believed his stomach ache was real. When she says he will never again see $500, Bart shows her a box of new Krusty-Os with <a href="Necrotizing_fasciitis" title="Necrotizing fasciitis">flesh-eating bacteria</a>, which he intends to eat and sue Krusty again with.

When the radio station plays one of Bleeding Gums' songs, Lisa is disappointed because the station's tiny range prevents anyone from hearing it. Lightning strikes the antenna, giving it extra power and projecting it into every radio in Springfield. Lisa is finally satisfied, saying, "That was for you, Bleeding Gums.", just as Bleeding Gums appears from the heavens to tell Lisa that she has made "an old jazz man happy". After saying their final goodbyes, Lisa and Bleeding Gums perform "<a href="Jazzman" title="Jazzman">Jazzman</a>" one last time.

On both episodes, they were aided by the staff of <a href="The_Critic" title="The Critic">The Critic</a>, the show the two left The Simpsons to create.<a href="#cite_note-Reiss-3">[3]</a><a href="#cite_note-nohomers2-5">[5]</a> Sternin and Ventimilia were writers on The Critic and were big fans of The Simpsons, so were thrilled to be able to write an episode.<a href="#cite_note-6">[6]</a><a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a>

The episode marked the first time a recurring character has been killed off on the show. The writers and production team felt that it would be a good, emotional storyline, which, through Lisa, could focus on the theme of grief.<a href="#cite_note-Jean-8">[8]</a> They decided that it could not be one of the main characters; Jean joked that "we wouldn't want it to be someone like <a href="Mr._Burns" title="Mr. Burns">Mr. Burns</a>, that we'd obviously want to see in the show again".<a href="#cite_note-Jean-8">[8]</a> Eventually, Jean decided on <a href="List_of_recurring_The_Simpsons_characters#Bleeding_Gums_Murphy" title="List of recurring The Simpsons characters">Bleeding Gums Murphy</a>, a character introduced in the <a href="The_Simpsons_season_1" title="The Simpsons season 1">season one</a> episode "<a href="Moaning_Lisa_(The_Simpsons)" title="Moaning Lisa (The Simpsons)">Moaning Lisa</a>"; a flashback to "Moaning Lisa" is featured in the episode.<a href="#cite_note-bbc-2">[2]</a> Murphy was a fairly minor character, only appearing in a couple of episodes, but he appeared in the show's opening sequence and remained there after the episode,<a href="#cite_note-Reiss-3">[3]</a> until the opening was re-designed in <a href="The_Simpsons_season_20" title="The Simpsons season 20">season 20</a>.<a href="#cite_note-9">[9]</a> Moore's first ever job on the show was in the animation department for "Moaning Lisa" so he "appreciated" being able to direct the episode.<a href="#cite_note-Moore-4">[4]</a> Reiss stated, "I had been polling for years to kill <a href="Simpson_family#Jacqueline_Bouvier" title="Simpson family">Marge's mom</a> but this was a better idea".<a href="#cite_note-Reiss-3">[3]</a> Actor <a href="Ron_Taylor_(actor)" title="Ron Taylor (actor)">Ron Taylor</a> returned to guest star as Murphy in the episode.<a href="#cite_note-Reiss-3">[3]</a> Comedian <a href="Steve_Allen" title="Steve Allen">Steve Allen</a> also made his second guest appearance on the show, having previously appeared in the episode "<a href="Separate_Vocations" title="Separate Vocations">Separate Vocations</a>".<a href="#cite_note-Jean-8">[8]</a>

The main story of the episode's first act sees Bart get appendicitis from eating a jagged metal Krusty-O. Mike Reiss's father, being a doctor, "sort of" acted as the medical consultant on the episode. He stated that it is impossible to get appendicitis from eating a piece of metal, but the writers decided to do it anyway.<a href="#cite_note-Reiss-3">[3]</a>

In his flashback, Murphy is shown as having a "$1,500 a day <a href="Faberg%C3%A9_egg" title="Fabergé egg">Fabergé egg</a> habit". Al Jean "didn't realize just how expensive" Fabergé eggs actually were (in 2013, a collector revealed he spent just over $100 million to purchase nine Fabergé eggs),<a href="#cite_note-BBC-10">[10]</a> so the joke does not make much sense.<a href="#cite_note-Jean-8">[8]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Reception">Reception</h2></div>

In its original broadcast, "'Round Springfield" finished 60th in the ratings for the week of April 24 to April 30, 1995, with a <a href="Nielsen_ratings" class="mw-redirect" title="Nielsen ratings">Nielsen rating</a> of 8.2. The episode was the fourth highest rated show on the Fox network that week.<a href="#cite_note-12">[12]</a>

Mike Reiss and Al Jean thought that the episode would "get a ton of awards", and joked that this was why they opted to receive a story credit, which they usually would not. Ultimately it did not win any awards.<a href="#cite_note-Reiss-3">[3]</a>

Warren Martyn and Adrian Wood, the authors of the book I Can't Believe It's a Bigger and Better Updated Unofficial Simpsons Guide, found that it was "a real tear-jerker" and praised Grampa believing everything he saw was <a href="Death" title="Death">death</a>.<a href="#cite_note-bbc-2">[2]</a> In a <a href="DVD" title="DVD">DVD</a> review of the sixth season, Ryan Keefer of DVD Verdict rated the episode a "B".<a href="#cite_note-13">[13]</a>

Adam Finley of <a href="TV_Squad" class="mw-redirect" title="TV Squad">TV Squad</a> praised the episode, noting its many "great moments" including "Steve Allen pimping his books on TV: How to Make Love to Steve Allen; Happiness is a Naked Steve Allen; Journey to the Center of Steve Allen; The Joy of Cooking Steve Allen" and "Moe running a "retox" clinic right next to a detox clinic".<a href="#cite_note-14">[14]</a>

The podcast Put it in H - A Die Hard Simpsons Podcast praised the episode for its "high number of laughs per minute while still being full of heart".<a href="#cite_note-15">[15]</a>

However, Colin Jacobson of DVD Movie Guide called the episode "dull", stating that "some of the moments connected to Bart's illness are funny", but that he "really hate[s] that 'Jazzman' song" and dislikes "the Bleeding Gums parts".<a href="#cite_note-16">[16]</a>
