   The Homer/Marge inadvertent spying thing was pretty interesting, more so   
   because it did it without any confrontation or argument. Liked the episode on   
   that alone and various gags throughout that plot. Valentine's Day cards plot =   
   eh. Football stuff at    
   start and end I could do without, though my tune will change if it actually   
   gets removed from repeats.   
      
   DYN:   
   ...the episode starts "one month earlier"? (Than the Super Bowl? That's not   
   early enough!)   
   ...Smithers wears an antler like the Grinch's Max?   
   ...the single establishing line of dialogue for Krustyburger is Squeaky-Voiced   
   Teen saying "I'm sorry, sir"?   
      
   Previous episode stuff   
   7F15: I know it was a parody of The Terminator then, but the way the "Oogle   
   Goggles" display information is reminiscent of the Termovision display (e.g.   
   "possible Homer sexual")   
   2F20 (etc.): Maggie is identified as an "attempted murderess"   
   not 9F13: Despite the goofy pun Bart points out on the Owls card, and the   
   Lisa/Ralph coda, there is no reference to "I Choo-Choo-Choose You" or their   
   card-trading past!   
      
   Meta   
   -after Lenny learns how to spell Simpson, Homer points out the cloud sequence   
   in the sky, so that's a thing   
   -"yoink" gets resurrected (by Marge)   
      
   Goof   
   For what it's worth, there's no space in Ga'Hoole. It's not Ga' Hoole.   
      
   Changed line   
   In a promo I saw earlier tonight, the scene where the Goggles/Glasses list   
   values for Flanders' house and the Simpsons' was a little simpler (listing   
   only prices - at first I wondered why it priced the Simpsons' window frame)   
   and gave the latter price at    
   about $50000.   
      
   Super Bowl   
   Now that's brand synergy Lindsay Naegle would be proud of. I guess since OFF   
   is not airing anything after the game next week, despite its being Fox's year,   
   they had to get all the nonsense in this time around, including an extensive   
   football-themed cloud/   
   couch gag and the Fox Sports/Football music over the second half of the   
   credits, neither for any good reason. The whole episode was preceded by an   
   animated introduction with the family, the football guys, and for some reason   
   Zooey Deschanel (who not only    
   keeps guest starring but also was animated in the Fox anniversary show, I   
   think), which doesn't seem to be actually part of it; whether any of the rest   
   will change in future airings remains to be seen.
