Calling all long-time Simpsons Fans-
If you are one, then Troy McClure needs no introduction from me . .
(And, caramba, he's so good at introducing himself!)
But what I'm wondering is, how many of his "movie roles" has he mentioned during his Springfield TV appearances?
The only ones I can recall, for sure, are "Calling All Quakers" and "Hellcats of the Coast Guard".
Which ones have I missed, or forgotten?

Hey Troy,
I'm a sometime Simpson devotee who gets a boot out of the pop culture references laced throughout the show and likes the characters of the cynical Moe the Bartender, and the religious neighbor guy whose name escapes me. Didn't Troy marry one of Marge's twin sisters once?...sorry that I can't contribute more, I was working like a fiend in the '80s and '90s and had little time for most of pop culture. If memory serves, I believe that Troy McClure seemed a blend of the "best" features of Troy Donahue, Doug McClure and a soupçon of Fabio??

I really miss Phil Hartman. He could just crack me up no matter what he was doing. He also played Lionel Hutz, the sleazy attorney.
Oh, and I found this list of all of Troy's movie roles.
