|    Notes for TABF18 (Treehouse of Horror XX    |

      From: mxg77@po.cwru.edu              Eh. I liked the Sideshow Bob story - after all these years it was a great way       to see Bob finally get revenge, though obviously the reanimation is a bit       far-fetched. Homerzilla was kinda cute but the whole remake twist seemed a       little drawn out. Telepaths        was fine. And I'm not a huge John K fan so the opening didn't do much for me.       Did like the slight jab at glory years from Kang & Kodos (funny, I was       actually thinking of "King Homer" from 9F04 [Treehouse of Horror III] during       Homerzilla and that's in        season 4!). Also, very short. (Don, note: football ended on time and the show       started at 8.)              DYN:       ...there is no episode title (or even "The Simpsons") in the opening?       ...Milhouse has his own emoji (and his cell phone is mentioned in two separate       stories)?       ...there are two separate and very conspicuous pages in the credits about       Hanna-Barbera's characters (usually they'd get their own, yes, but why not       combined)?              Previous episode stuff       4F18: Frank Grimes tombstone in opening (note also that the followup, EABF01,       included Sideshow Bob too!)       9F22: Die Bart Die, rake gag       CABF19: The leprechaun is back for yet another TOH       BABF04: Bob's way of getting revenge on Bart over and over is not unlike the       Itchy & Scratchy in "Tears of a Clone"       7G12: Reference to Bob's original attempt to frame Krusty       4F18: Mr. Sparkle ad (and the word "prefecture") of course appear in the       Japanese Springfield       7G02: "Skinner is a wiener" graffiti, mostly       AABF15: "Everything's coming up Milhouse!"              Meta       -Bart says "ay caramba" during one of his reanimations       -Lisa refers to "Jailbird" as if it's a name       -Homer sees the "reanimator" machine and scoffs, saying this animation looks       all right to him       -D'oh-jo       -The American remake of Homerzilla seems to have "TABF1" all over the boxes       they're dumping in the ocean, but why it's not the full TABF18 I do not know              Goof       In the credits, "That '70s Line" should really be "That '70s Line" (with an       apostrophe).              Hmm?       The episode description online suggests that one story is about Homer having       short-term memory problems, but that's not what his story is.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
