   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.

   Has the ever used the pun "Abbey you can drive my car" in relation to Grandpa?
