   Or as the online TV guide thinks it's called, Baby You Can Drive My Car. I   
   guess they didn't get the joke. Anyway, I'm conflicted. The central concepts   
   (the shady corporation, Homer and Marge working together, etc.) seemed pretty   
   classic, as did many of    
   the one-liners and observations, but some things just didn't hit at all. (Why   
   exactly was the town a nuclear waste zone for about two seconds after the   
   Lenny and Carl scene? Not only did it "revert" right away but I didn't even   
   see a reasonable joke for    
   a Family-Guy-style gag.) It was also very very short, but apart from those   
   things, fairly solid late-season episode. Also, I found it very interesting   
   that the real tune of "Pure Imagination" was used for the cafeteria sequence,   
   without doing a visual    
   parody or soundalike or adding new lyrics; it was comparatively subtle and   
   restrained.   
      
      
   Previous episode stuff   
   1F02 (etc.): the 3 nerds are back, among many others   
   3F02: "dank" is a keyword for Moe's account with the CarGo sponsorship   
   9F15: the screen door back entrance to the server room feels remarkably like   
   the one at the nuclear plant way back when   
   9F05: Burns should know Marge has worked at SNPP before   
      
   Meta   
   Maggie's opening-sequence driving gag is reenacted in the self-driving montage   
   (though with Homer next to her).
