   OK episode, if another in the mildly interesting but not-too-memorable   
   recent-flashback series. A few OK meta/mythology gags. SUPER SHORT. On the   
   plus side, it's nice that Fox seems to be no longer allowed to put a little   
   network bug in the bottom right    
   during Simpsons airings, to judge from the last few weeks.   
      
      
   Opening stuff   
   Several oddities: Barney is back to not merely burping when Bart skates out;   
   there seems to be another odd cutting point (from Lisa's solo to Maggie at the   
   steering wheel); the special couch gag has a credit in the TV for Disney   
   animator Eric Goldberg    
   that makes the whole TV sequence too long and the music very awkwardly   
   repeats. It's a little sloppy.   
      
   DYN:   
   ...the "Grand Canyon Suite" is played as they start the tour (and revisited in   
   the credits) (you may only recognize it from A Christmas Story)?   
   ...a postcard museum actually came up on Jeopardy this week?   
      
   Previous episode stuff   
   HABF04: Skobo's   
   KABF21: Billionaires' retreat   
   1F10,4F16: Homer's fake credit card under the name Hogwar Swanson is somewhat   
   reminiscent of his many bad-check aliases (and Bart's Santos L. Halper credit   
   card)   
   CABF22: Night terrors   
      
   And back to Sam Simon...   
   Sam Simon is still listed as EP. Now, last week, the 4/17 second airing of   
   VABF05 (Much Apu about Something), which didn't originally have him listed,   
   left his name off the EPs... which was unusual. Tonight, the 7:30 THIRD airing   
   of VABF01 ('Paths of    
   Glory), whose first two airings didn't have him listed, suddenly HAD it! I   
   don't get this at all.
