   So does your anal recounting of every little thing (with production   
   numbers as if everyone memorizes them). It's a series in its 24th   
   season. Of course, some things will repeat.

   How is that meta? Bart the character pranks the character Moe. Moe the   
   character testifies to such in court. In character.
