Fame may be fleeting for some, but the Remington Carriage Museum in Cardston, Alta., has been immortalized thanks to a 10-second segment on The Simpsons. “We have a big sign out in front of our place which is electronically programmable and I intend to put on it ‘As Seen on the Simpsons,’ ” said Howard Snyder, the manager of the museum. On Sunday’s episode, actor Richard Dean Anderson, is kidnapped by sisters Patty and Selma. But Anderson becomes a nuisance and won’t leave.
Selma and Patty then subject him to a series of boring vacation slides, including an image of the front of the museum and a list of the historic carriages inside. “That was great – even though the context was Selma and Patty’s boring summer holidays,” chuckled Snyder. “To have the image of the statue in front of the museum and the front of the museum and vehicles inside the museum for 10 seconds on something as big as The Simpsons – that’s at least a boost to our pride.”
