Well, most of those exact details appear to have been derived from the Simpsons' "Who Shot Mr. Burns?" two-parter, but correct, the concept itself was a homage to Dallas's "Who Shot J.R.?", and the scene in which Smithers finds Burns showering a direct nod to their season-erasing resurrection of Patrick Duffy in 1986. Only in Smithers' case there is an additional twist...ie: that was all a dream.
