   Eh, all right. I'd probably like it better if I watched Homeland. The mystery   
   element was fun but the actual scheme, and Homer's extremely quick reversion   
   to his former self, didn't do it for me. (The examination of a bland good   
   homer in DABF05, Jaws    
   Wired Shut, seemed better.)   
      
   Did anyone else get a test pattern followed by several bouts of blank screen   
   during almost the entire opening and a few parts of Act 1, as well as kind of   
   muted colors during the first act or two? I don't know if it was the Fox   
   network or just my    
   affiliate messing up, but that was pretty annoying.   
      
      
   DYN:   
   ...they're still spelling it "carumba"?   
   ...another extremely short fourth act (18 seconds)? Also, a very short   
   episode, yet again, at 21 minutes.

   -"I'm Bart Simpson, who the hell are you?"   
   -Other current Fox animation families in the closing credits, with   
   recently-cancelled The Cleveland Show getting the boot   
      
   For what it's worth, the football game ended in plenty of time and the show   
   started at 8, though I wonder if the technical glitches I noted above are   
   related.   
      
   Also, welcome to the new Google Groups, I guess. Is there any way to cc myself   
   like I used to??
