I'm from the UK and had this episode on VHS as a kid, as a double feature with the following episode. Not only was "Life on the Fast Lane" featured under its original name ("Bjorn to Be Wild"), but "Telltale Head" featured its original ending! I watched both of these episodes religiously as a kid (it was the only on-demand Simpsons media we had in the house) and was shocked to discover the existence of an alternate ending on the DVD many years later. Thanks for revisiting this season with such a critical eye towards the production side; it makes this well-worn episode feel as fresh as the very first time I watched it.
