   Well that was stupid. Also incredibly short, even with a minute-long filler   
   bit at the end (why not trot out a full-length opening THEN, anyway?).   
      
   What was the couch gag a parody of? I couldn't even hazard a guess, unless   
   it's very loosely Cheers-ish.   
      
      
      
   DYN/WTF...   
   ...Flanders' electrical panel with the circuit breakers is on the outside of   
   his house (and has a label for "kid's bedroom" - singular kid)?   
   ...the "turkey" Marge feeds Mr. Teeny is so white it looks like he's eating   
   napkins?   
   ...there are fries at this sandwich shop (not the sort of place that would   
   have them)?   
   ...people pay with a LOT of loose change and a LOT of pennies?   
      
      
   Previous episode stuff   
   EABF16: Flanders' "Beatles bunker" referenced on electrical panel   
   4F17: Ketchup/catsup   
   4F08: Marge has limited success with a food franchise (also Gil works in   
   heavily; he wasn't around in season 8 but is clearly based on the sort of   
   character Jack Lemmon voiced)   
   1F12: Grampa working the drive-thru   
      
   Meta   
   Marge wonders what kind of corporation blah blah blah money, and a giant Fox   
   bug pops up while half the fanfare plays.   
   Caveman Homer's "d'oh" is subtitled as "annoyed grunt".   
      
      
   Dedication   
   Hope you recorded it. Jan Hooks (original and occasional voice of Manjula)   
   died last week and got a dedication with a picture of Manjula at the end of   
   the credits before the Gracie logo (though while the music was still going).
