   The only excuse I can imagine is that the writers were also trying to minimize   
   screen time and only wrote one draft. What a mess. Every premise imaginable   
   seemed to be wrong. And what was the point, exactly? Well, here are three   
   things I liked: the sound    
   effects CD (I've been known to collect some), garden/danger (which I just   
   realized might employ Homer's newfound jumble skill, but maybe that's giving   
   it too much credit), and "talc is cheap". The rest... well...   
      
   DYN:   
   ...no one seems to know it's Daylight Saving Time, not "Savings"?   
   ...this old portable (analog) TV still gets a signal?   
   ...Homer's first Jumble doesn't work at all right (the individual words   
   shouldn't make a sentence, and I can't imagine multiple solutions would be   
   permitted [DDA = ADD, in addition to DAD, for example, if DAD is even legal]),   
   but the second seems more in    
   the usual style?   
   ...Selma is smoking (compare the Disney gag in ZABF07)?   
   ...ex-Simpsons writer Dana Gould lends his voice again?

   Maggie complains that she "was America's baby once" (in reference to The   
   Mandalorian).   
   Marge tells us, the viewers, to stop using our screens too, just before a cut   
   to commercial.   
      
   The next clip emanates from the ceiling   
   Dedications are back (I still can't believe Kirk Douglas got nothing)...   
   tonight, before the Gracie logo, a nod to James Lipton (DABF14, NABF05) with   
   what might be a publicity image as opposed to an episode still. Don't expect   
   to see that next time.   
      
   Vroom vroom   
   Cars driving around in circles took a little extra time to drive around in   
   circles today. In my area, the 7:00 repeat of ZABF06 (The Miseducation of Lisa   
   Simpson) was joined in progress at 7:24 with the usual abbreviated NABF21   
   intro, then only a little    
   over a minute of act 3, more ads, and the end. I don't know why they didn't   
   just claim the entire half hour at that point. But now you know.
