Title: Tee Jay's Zay Mart
Post by: Zayre88 on January 12, 2005, 07:35:53 PM
I always wandered why that store had that name ... a mix of Tj maxx, Zayre, Kmart ...what is your idea on what the authors meant with that scene ?


and there's the small sign saying:

Dressing Rooms across street in Gorham Bldg. :P

Heh. I was just thinking about that a few days ago..I believe that episode was made int eh early 90's...after Zayre was gone. Very strange though.

(There is also an episode of The Simpsons when Bart raddles of a list of stores like a witch's spell (one of the halloween episodes), does anyone know which one this is?)

i was watching the Simpsons last week and Homer was reading a book called Montgomery Warden and it looked just like the Montgomery Ward logo they used in the early 90's

I noticed that too !!  It's a mix between Montgomery Ward and Montgomery Burns Warden of the prison.

Here's a blurry picture:

If you listen to the commentary on the episode from the 7th season set, one of the writers was from Hyannis and there was a Zayre there as he was growing up. So he included Marge and Lisa shopping in a Zayre type of store  for clothes.

Bart Simpson din't say "Zabars" he siad "Zayre" before he siad Kresge, Caldor, Wal-Mart and i'm surprised that Kresge (now known as K-Mart) and Caldor were mention on The Simpsons.

Also I think Tee Jay's Zay Mart might be a parody on T.J. Maxx and K-Mart.

He did say Zabar's. I saw the episode. If you don't believe me or anyone else on here, just go back and watch the episode.
Here is the Zabar's Wikipedia article:

I think that "Tee Jay's Zay Mart" is combo parody on T.J. Maxx, Zayre, and K-Mart according to the name!
