Came from

What the speakers say it drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

Batman (TV series, 1966-68): 1 line the host's read ×1

  1. industry (industry): Batman (TV series, 1966-68) ⇒ The Simpsons (the host's read). The Radioactive Man parody mirrors the fate of old Batman actors doing car-dealership appearances in costume.
    “that's the kind of thing that the Simpsons parodies, right?”
