   Matt Garvey to All   
   Notes for XABF16 (Treehouse of Horror XX   
   21 Oct 18 17:45:29

   Not the worst. Opening segment eating contest was fine. Body snatchers was   
   also fine. Split personality Lisa was stylized in a way that I didn't love but   
   the only actual complaint I have is that it didn't have a real ending.   
   Geriatric Park (I've been    
   hearing that title since the third Naked Gun movie) was cute and full of nods   
   I enjoyed. Where were Kang and Kodos?? (And does Sunny D count under the usual   
   definition of "orange drink?")   
      
   Previous episode stuff   
   3F03: Lisa's angle of "you don't win friends with salad" is shown as part of   
   her pod/transportation sequence   
      
   Goof   
   In the headstones, there is one for Toys 'R' Us (with the usual backward R),   
   but both punctuation marks are open quotes (note they taper toward the top).   
   In this case, since the "R" is understood to be in quotation marks (single in   
   this case), the one on    
   the right should taper down.   
      
   Limited commercial interruption   
   Tonight's lineup is being shown, as it was last week, with commercials of   
   shorter length, and as I write this it hasn't gotten to the point where I see   
   what they stick in from 8:55 to 9:00, but The Simpsons ran from about 8:01 to   
   8:29 again.   
      
   XABF14 repeat   
   The season 29 finale (Flanders' Ladder) reran at 7:00, and predictably (though   
   perhaps not so much given the R. Lee Ermey wrinkle as recent as last week), it   
   was missing the Tom Wolfe dedication. The credits actually grew in length,   
   too, from 47 to the    
   usual 48 seconds.
