   Episode was OK. I enjoyed the various France gags for the most part but the   
   plot - its resolution in particular - was a little stupid. Very short still.   
   Not a fan of that. Also, act 3 was under 2 minutes, which has to be among the   
   shortest (non-vestigial-   
   act-4) acts ever.   
      
      
   DYN:   
   ...another opening sequence wrinkle now (Lenny says "uh oh" as he falls)??   
   ...apparently no "Snakes on a Plane" reference when Lisa discovers it?   
      
   Previous episode stuff   
   CABF21: Burly Paper Towels in the billboard in the opening   
   5F10: Jay Leno appears again (as himself)   
   3F17: Acting as courier for free travel (and see below!)   
   7G13: Cesar and Hugolin from all the way back in season 1 appear throughout as   
   Homer's contacts in France   
   Marge's list of other bad vacations (marked with ? if I'm unsure it's the one   
   they meant):   
   2F13: Australia   
   DABF10: Brazil   
   AABF20: Japan   
   EABF22?: London   
   GABF06?: China   
   3F17: "That World's Fair Bart drove to" (which seems to be included almost   
   solely because of the courier plot)   
   BABF09: The land of the underground jockeys (even less a "vacation" than the   
   Wod Fir)   
   2F01: Itchy & Scratchy Land   
   RABF15?: Outer space   
      
      
   Slight update in Sam Simon EP saga for completion   
   VABF08 repeated on 5/8 and, like its premiere, listed Sam.   
   VABF03 aired for the third time on 5/1 and, like its second airing, also   
   listed Sam (the premiere did not).   
      
   Fun fact I forgot to mention two weeks ago   
   VABF12 (Fland Canyon) premiered on 4/24/16. There are almost 600 episodes now,   
   and apart from the summer and some holiday seasons, there are still a few days   
   on the calendar that have never seen a Simpsons episode premiere; now 4/24   
   finally has!
