Who Shot Mr. Burns?, Season 6

In classic Simpsons style, this episode sends up season-ending cliff-hangers (especially the classic ''Who Shot J.R.?'' story arc) when an unknown shooter plugs Mr. Burns. Suspects include the entire town of Springfield. After all, the ancient robber baron had plotted to steal oil from beneath the elementary school, wreck Bart's treehouse, raze the retirement home, close local businesses, and block out the sun. In a typically absurd wrap-up, we would learn at the beginning of Season 7 that the shooter was baby Maggie. D'oh!
