      From: mxg77@po.cwru.edu              Oh good god, how did Google ruin this interface too? Well, it's the theme of       the night, I guess. But not only am I typing this message in a tiny corner of       my screen, I can't see what I'm typing until 5 seconds later.              Welcome to season 32. This episode was dumb. Someone pull the plug and put the       show and the rest of us out of their respective miseries. And while you're at       it, make sports events end on time, huh? Well, the Terminator 2 stuff was OK.              Previous episode stuff       5F08: Cooder the carnie is working at the SNPP carnival       9F07: Barney drives Plow King truck through Moe's drive-through       1G13: Burns's "frenemies" are the French guys Bart lived with       PABF14: Marge is mad at Lady Gaga for never returning to Springfield              DYN:       ...Wilhelm scream instead of crow caw at the start of the tag?              You never go back department       Oof. Carl's new voice sounds like a bad impression, because it is one. No       offense to the new guy; it's just that I can tell the diddly-ifference, and I       can think of better ways to even the playing field. This is yet another signal       that the series just        needs to pack it in. It's already got twice as many bad episodes as good ones.       It's already running out of letters in the alphabet. And it's already gone       through too many cast members' deaths (or 3-year resignations) and       not-quite-there replacements, not        to mention that decisions made in 1989 are practically causing rioting in the       streets. What actually is the end game? Are we just going to Mickey Mouse this       whole thing until nothing original is left? I'll just keep on sticking my       thoughts on Usenet.              I am not ready for some football       The last minute of the dumb game took about 10 minutes to get through, so the       game didn't end until 7:58, and in Cleveland, this episode started at 8:06.                     Finally:       Various episode repeats this summer lost (and gained) dedications and other       stuff. Nothing was revoiced as far as I can tell.              Removed dedications:       ZABF16 (The Way of the Dog) airing 2 and 3 (6/21 and 8/30) lost Little Richard       dedication       ZABF09 (Screenless) airing 3 (7/12) lost James Lipton dedication, even though       airing 2 (3/29) actually still had it              Removed dedication and added/reinstated Gracie sound:       ZABF11 (Better Off Ned) airing 2 and 3 (4/5 and 7/19) lost Max von Sydow       dedication, but gained a Gracie sound (shush with no murmurs, Nelson haw-haws,       a Flanders child says yay, as a callback to something in the episode). I       suppose it was left off the        original airing to not wreck the somber tone of the dedication.              Added dedication:       YABF13 (The Incredible Lightness of Being a Baby) airing 3 (8/2) was dedicated       to Regis Philbin in the usual way (in loving memory of, with a screenshot from       AABF01). I'm sure the dozens of people who watched that rerun were touched.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
