There were two holdover episodes: "Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part Two)" and "[[Radioactive Man]]". The latter has the distinction of being the first episode to be digitally colored, a technique that would not be repeated until [[Season 12]]'s "[[Tennis the Menace]]" and become a permanent feature starting with [[Season 14]]'s "[[The Great Louse Detective]]". Season 7 also saw the first use of CGI in "[[Treehouse of Horror VI]]" as the third segment, "Homer<sup>3</sup>", had sequences where [[Homer]] and [[Bart]] were computer-animated.
