   A little uneven but surprisingly interesting, even though I barely cared about   
   act 2 and didn't know the background for act 3. Ned's new personal history was   
   about on par for the current era, and we've definitely seen his un-moustached   
   lip with no scar    
   before, but anyway, overall a decent installment in the anthology(esque) style   
   of episode. Interesting as well that it combines actual characters in one act   
   with the historical recreation of those usual styles in the last two. (The   
   Bob's Burgers couch    
   gag was on the odd side. Episode running a little short?)   
      
   DYN:   
   ...Ned actually notes that cops shoot innocent people?   
   ...Ned also refers to the recent Gunsmoke episode count record the Simpsons   
   recently beat by painting it as a "long quagmire" of the 70s?   
   ...Meaux really distorts the pronunciation of Pierre (for the sake of the   
   joke) the second time he says it?

   Rainier Wolfcastle's character pronounces Fräulein as "frow-line" instead of   
   "froy-line" (even funnier considering that he's supposed to be a German in the   
   context of many Americans trying to play French).   
      
      
   Timing notes for the night   
   Here in Cleveland, the football game ran long and the 7:00 slot was preempted.   
   (As a result, the third airing of XABF11 didn't run. I was hoping to see if   
   the R. Lee Ermey dedication that stayed in the second airing stayed yet again!   
   If anyone in a    
   different time zone/market can tell me if it did, I'd love to know!) The   
   lineup began at 7:30, but The Simpsons didn't really start until 8:01. And it   
   ended at 8:29! Bob's Burgers ran from 8:29 to 8:54, and had very very short   
   commercial breaks. 8:55 to    
   9:00 was a long sneak peek at a new Hulu show, so I guess that explains the   
   compressed timing, but nothing in the shows seemed shortened, at least   
   mathematically. How odd.
