   Well, it's another Homer and Marge on the rocks episode (and another   
   Moe-reinvents-the-bar episode of sorts). It was OK, though the wrinkle of the   
   idle-rich-man-wager was interesting. A little silly otherwise. Hard to imagine   
   they might be split up - or    
   even tempted, especially given Marge's feelings on Moe. But fine. Medium   
   length was nice to see, commentary disparaging the way "act 4" has wound up as   
   well. Helps to be a Casablanca fan. I also don't fully get the title renaming   
   (is it a reference to    
   something?). I don't think Lisa had any lines.   
      
   DYN:   
   ...the opening STARTED with the couch gag (and the choral title showed up in   
   the first act)?   
   ...Itchy is somehow at Moe's bar opening (and so is Sideshow Bob)?   
   ...in the final bit on Smithers' contract, he mentions he wants to be   
   mummified with Mr. Burns "if" he passes?   
      
   Previous episode stuff   
   AABF11: Elton John (silent) is at the opening too (along with the other   
   "guest" I assume it's because he's British, but I can't help but think of the   
   romance plot of that episode too)   
   3F03: Paul McCartney as well   
      
   Meta   
   Moe (as narrator, anyway) comments on the "The Simpsons" chorus. Sector 7G   
   named for the first time in a while. Moe's tendency to call Marge Midge   
   brought up and explored. SNPP's crow and its caw seem to be significant for   
   Moe at the end, though I'm not    
   sure how. Birds Suddenly Appear. Homer ends his flip book with a Gracie Films   
   logo.
