   Notes for SABF17 (The Wreck of the Relat   
   05 Oct 14 18:32:38   
   
   From: mxg77@po.cwru.edu   
      
   Not too bad there. A few little oddities here and there that annoyed me, and a   
   little crazy at the end, but nice. Not surprising it's another Selman   
   installment, though it didn't exactly feel like it was reaching for the   
   heartstrings or anything (this is    
   fine, as we've had too many failures in that area).   
      
      
   DYN:   
   ...the "verify your age" page doesn't actually ask for a birthdate explicitly?   
   ...the DINNER broccoli standoff goes into hour 17 and hour 46 at dawn or   
   otherwise in the morning, neither of which makes any sense?   
   ...only one of Apu's kids is on the ship, though both Rod and Todd Flanders   
   are there?   
   ...those stuffed bears are oddly non-buoyant?   
      
   Previous episode stuff   
   9F22: I think some music from HMS Pinafore (famously sung by Sideshow Bob) is   
   heard in one of the nautical montages   
   3F23: Marge wears Homer's autographed Tom Landry hat while working on the   
   fantasy football   
   8F12: Marge uses weird clues to predict football stuff, like Lisa did (I feel   
   like there's another example of that but it's not coming to me)   
      
   Meta   
   Homer's password is annoyedgrunt. (Also in playing with catch phrases, Martin   
   taunts Nelson with a haw-haw, and Dr. Hibbert texts a chuckle.)   
      
      
   Airing info   
   Somehow had a 14DLV rating. Also had three acts (the first one attached to the   
   opening, and none attached to the credits; execs at the end of act 3).   
   (Paging Don del Grande)   
   In the east, football ran long, and so the 7:00 repeat of SABF07 (The Man Who   
   Grew Too Much) was entirely preempted (I wonder if it's running elsewhere -   
   probably). Things wrapped up just in time for the new Bob's Burgers at 7:30,   
   but there was no title    
   sequence for that, just starting with regular action; I don't know if that's   
   because of oddness from the football delay or not.
