   OK episode? The way the production got very out of hand seems like an uncanny   
   reflection of the episode itself, which had an interesting premise (I couldn't   
   help but think of season 1's Moaning Lisa (7G06)) but didn't actually explore   
   IT at all. I see it'   
   s another Selman production but apart from the strong Lisa/Marge focus, which   
   I appreciate, and which did NOT diminish as it did in the play, but I didn't   
   really click with it as much as I'd like. Full length, guests were fine, humor   
   was a little out    
   there (though I did enjoy "hot Sharpie"), and I can't believe the way the   
   comic got out in the first place.

   Dedication   
   We got nothing last week for some summertime deaths, but after the credits   
   tonight and before the Gracie logo (which IS back), there is a few seconds of   
   "In loving memory of Tom Petty" with a still from DABF22 (How I Spent My   
   Strummer Vacation). He died    
   this week, suddenly, young, but it certainly feels odd in comparison to last   
   week.
