Additional Info

Trivia

  • In several episodes, she newscasts alone. According to the commentaries, this is because the writers leave Morbo out of episodes that have a large focus on aliens, such as H. G. Blob or Lrrr.
  • Linda was killed off, because Tress MacNeille was getting tired of voicing her.

    <poem>Morbo: In business news, the weak and gullible inhabitants of Earth were plunged into economic depression today as the scammer aliens finished stealing every item of value, including ownership of this station.
