So I got the new Simpsons Season 4 DVD, and promptly turned on the Marge vs. the Monorail episode written by Conan O’Brien. According to the DVD packaging, he’s on the commentary. I turn on the commentary from the menu and listen to the episode, but no Conan!

What’s wrong? Is fate playing a cruel trick on me? This, one of the best episodes ever, does not actually have the commentary? Turns out that the Conan commentary is hidden as an easter egg.

Once you start this episode, you have to manually press the Audio button on your remote control and select English track 5. Then you can listen to the glorious Conan commentary. This is apparently the only episode that has two commentary tracks. I don’t know why Fox didn’t provide a menu option to choose which commentary to listen to in this instance, but with your DVD remote you can still select and hear it.
