   Matt Garvey to All   
   ZABF10 (Highway to Well)

   Actually pretty good, and a little redemption for Selman after the misfire of   
   ZABF08. All the parts of the plot seemed to fit together and be natural for   
   the characters, and it even gave both Marge and Homer a good dynamic and some   
   pretty reasonable and    
   thoughtful points of view. The explosive end was a little much but not awful.   
   I also rather enjoyed the "hash register" bit.   
      
   Many episodes in the last several years have been rated TV-14, and often   
   without clear reason; rarely do they get a separate warning beforehand, though   
   (There's Something About Marrying comes to mind), but this is one of those   
   rare cases. The stern-   
   voiced Fox-branded TV-14-DLV warning came up before it. I guess marijuana is   
   still a topic you don't want your kids to see, either that or we've come no   
   further than Weekend at Burnsie's 18 years ago.   
      
   DYN:   
   ...in the ceramics class, Marge paints a vase or mug with the design of "the"   
   sailboat painting (which the show has occasionally told us she made too)?   
   ...Dewey Largo signs the dispensary cashpoint with only his last name for some   
   reason?   
   ...the "Plantar's" cheese ball label has a foot character in place of Mr.   
   Peanut (now that joke was understated and fun)?   
   ...Willie Nelson (friend of the show - BABF19) does not return to voice   
   himself?
