   Notes for YABF13 (The Incredible Lightne   
   19 Apr 20 17:53:57   
   
   From: mxg77@po.cwru.edu   
      
   Not bad, though both plots could have been fleshed out a little bit (and as a   
   result, the whole thing needed a 2-minute song to bring the episode up to a   
   passable length). Nothing big to complain about otherwise. And finally the   
   YABFs are done. It's odd    
   how many episodes get left behind a good year or more these days; was this one   
   held back just because of the second Maggie theatrical short (which I didn't   
   see, or even know existed for quite some time through total lack of promotion)?   
      
      
   DYN:   
   ...Lisa remarks that she didn't see the falling of the Berlin Wall (which   
   happened mere weeks before the half-hour show premiered)?   
   ...Burns says the common redundancy "the hoi polloi" (hoi is a definite   
   article)?   
   ...Cletus's "left" right hand reverts to a normal right hand almost   
   immediately (within the same shot)?   
   ...this is the first episode this (air) season with regular credits music?

   A few notes from the off weeks:   
      
   3/29's second airing of ZABF09 (Screenless) actually retained the James Lipton   
   dedication, though if it sticks around for the third, I'll be surprised. I   
   have a hunch the early stages of Corona panic kept some fiddling undone.   
      
   Less surprisingly, 4/5's second airing of ZABF11 (Better Off Ned) removed the   
   dedication (to Max von Sydow); and its third airing of YABF19 (The Winter of   
   Our Monetized Content) was the same as the second, no dedication, still the   
   11/3 date in the    
   Gorillas on the Mast in-episode teaser.
