   Well, OK. One nice thing about bringing Zooey Deschanel/Mary Spuckler   
   back for a third appearance is that we can jump right into the plot   
   without introducing someone new (and have a deeper story with her).   
   Bart's Woody Allen narration device was certainly interesting. That   
   much I did like. I wasn't crazy about the men-of-Springfield-suck-at-   
   relationships story (along with its similarity to I'm with Cupid   
   [AABF11] in particular, other stuff like Moe Letter Blues [MABF13] as   
   well), and little bits throughout just kind of rubbed me the wrong way   
   (themselves balanced by some decent gags). Thus, OK, but I like the   
   spirit.   
      
   Also, like this post, it's very short. Good night.   
      
   DYN:   
   ...another Wilhelm scream in another video game on the show?   
      
   Previous episode stuff   
   3F18: Mary's "call my mother" gag (where it turns out she's just   
   yelling) is very similar to her dad's   
      
   Meta   
   In additon to a number of running gags and catchphrases in the   
   episode, Mary mentions that she can't tell where Bart's hair meets his   
   forehead (interestingly he has slightly a different yellow color for   
   his Woody Allen hair).
