   Premise and basic execution pretty good. Some running gags a little overdone.   
   Hamilton parody uninspired and only took, what, 4 years? (If they'd just used   
   that to get to the idea and done an original-ish musical it would have been   
   neat, and would have    
   left a space for a Ballad of Jebediah Springfield interpolation!) Also, as   
   compared to episodes with sudden magic resolutions, this had almost no   
   conflict or even a big character arc. Write the musical! Perform it despite   
   the weather! Good job, everyone,    
   cut to commercial. And of course... very very very short (21 minutes with   
   credits).   
      
   DYN:   
   ...when the cast first freaks out en masse, someone is literally chewing the   
   scenery?   
   ...portraits on the restaurant wall this time seem to include re   
   ently-deceased Stan Lee and Luke Perry? (A more recognizable face seen later   
   is Weird Al, which makes me wonder if the producers know something I don't...)   
      
   Previous episode stuff   
   8F18: obviously   
      
      
   On another note, who caught the repeat of YABF05 (The Clown Stays in the   
   Picture)? As I expected, the dedication to production manager Trista Navarro   
   is gone, and I think the credits gained that second back, but now there is a   
   Gracie sound! Just before    
   the shh, someone says "wuh-wuh!" like a catch phrase. (I forget what relevance   
   that has to the episode, and therefore also who says it. Krusty?) Well, I   
   guess that's the "canonical" version so you'll probably get to see it in most   
   available reairings,    
   streams, etc., but home recordists, feel free to set something for airing 3   
   this summer/fall.
