Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFrank Welker left the show after recording animal vocal effects for this episode, since the increasingly "wacky" characterizations requested by the producers were hurting his throat and the network was unwilling to give him a raise as compensation for his efforts. The role of Santa's Little Helper was subsequently given to Dan Castellaneta, while Welker did return for a guest appearance in 2014 during a crossover with Futurama (1999), where he voices Nibbler.
- Quotes
Marge: You know, you have to stop drinking?
Buck McCoy: What do you care?
Marge: I don't know. I just naturally I assumed that it was any of my business.

Featured review
A Nostalgic but Flawed episode of "The Simpsons" that showcases the evolution of the show
"The Lastest Gun in the West" is an episode of "The Simpsons" that, upon re-watching with a new viewing method, reveals both its flaws and its strengths. With this new viewing method, the episode's plot seems uninteresting, like many of the more recent episodes of the series. However, when viewed chronologically, the episode still feels like a classic for those who watched it as children. This is due to elements that would have a strong impact on a child, such as a white bull-terrier wanting to eat them. The episodes from seasons 11, 12 and 13, despite not belonging to the golden era of the show, still feel friendly for children's expectations and interest.
It's important to note that the episode is not bad, but it's not as good as the episodes from the golden era, which had a more complex humor and better developed characters, but it still holds some comedic moments. While the episode may not be as strong as those from the show's peak, it is still an enjoyable watch and a reminder of the nostalgia of childhood.
