   Well the YABFs are off to an interesting start. I appreciated the very   
   specific and dedicated focus, though the live-action clips mixed into the   
   Simpsons' world seemed like a strange way to incorporate the Peck version.   
   Anyway, a few things too hard to    
   believe (To Kill a Mockingbird assigned to second graders?) or just too silly   
   (as much as I love Futurama...), and the episode was VERY short, but I mostly   
   liked it. Some shades of CABF09 (Homer helping the little guy) and, in minor   
   ways, 8F18 (between    
   the return of Llewelyn Sinclair and the Southern accents). (I see Al Jean has   
   writer credit, and his recent guidance of the show has been up and down but   
   didn't seem to make this his brand of odd.)   
      
   DYN:   
   ...the cast of the movie is listed in the credits as Special Guests?   
   ...somehow a 100W light bulb is in the huge stage light?   
      
   Previous episode stuff   
   LABF10: Anton Chigurh compressed-air gun parody again (I also just saw No   
   Country... for the first time last week; I had not been aware he only says   
   "friendo" once!)   
      
   Dedication alert   
   Even though he died weeks ago, magic wiz Ricky Jay got a dedication in this   
   episode (the usual "in loving memory of" before Gracie logo), with a still   
   from NABF11 (The Great Simpsina).
