No. Smithers was gay long beofore that lame plot hook. Even taking into account the new plot lines (Which I like to ignore) Mr burns would only have become the focus of Smithers's homosexual tendancies, not its source.

Col. Klink's right - Smithers was revealed to be gay long before that episode. Hell, even in the episode directly before it, he was afraid of female strippers.
Plus, the explanation as to why he's gay isn't the fact that Mr. Burns raised him, it's the fact that Mr. Burns told him that his father was killed by a pack of women. Not only have you missed the joke completely, but you've steered this entire thread off topic.

Oh my god, that is the dumbest thing about Smithers I've ever heard ANYONE say. He IS scared of strippers - just watch the Season 13 episode "Hunka Hunka Burns In Love"... and his love for Malibu Stacey dolls was one of the biggest hints in the show that he was gay. I mean, name one straight man who collects dolls, for fuck sake. How the hell did you even make a connection between strippers & dolls to begin with anyway?! God damn...
Okay, in an attempt to get back on topic - if I remember correctly, after dozens of "You're wrong" replies to Knowsfords' theory of Amy being Farnsy's daughter, the topic somehow got to us talking about Amy (being an intern and all) and Farnsworth having some sort of sexual relationship... Personally, I think this is just as ridiculous as the first theory. I mean, even though Amy is a bit of a slut, she's also pretty shallow. I highly doubt she'd EVER engage in intercourse with the professor, it'd just disgust her too much - and Amy's not exactly the type of person to stay quiet in situations where she's disgusted.

Jerkberg, Just because you enjoy stripping Barbie dolls doesn't mean Smithers does. Heres the problem with your assertion as I see it. You simply, just dont make connections between the old Simpsons and the new Simpsons. They are practically independant of each other. Two different shows. The new story behind Smithers gayness and his attatchment to Burns was just another twenty minutes to pad out yet another Simpsons series till they can manage to get to Twenty years. It means nothing more. Its not wise to read too much into the Simpsons, just as It's not wise to read into Family guy and especially not Futurama. Continuity and Logic are just not concepts emphasised in this Genre of cartoon. Or have you forgotten the Poochy episode of the Simpsons?

Fry's Nightmare's got a point....but even if we blatantly ignore that, the only way i see it is the vague possiblity that she's a distant relative like a grand niece or something.
She does have the inherited stupidity though.
