   Eh, fine? It's odd to get an anthology/historical episode like this right   
   after the Roman one (and I know they're not in production order, but they're   
   still only 3 apart by that measure). A bunch of stuff to hang gags on, and   
   that was OK, although I was    
   unable to identify the majority of stuff in Bart's segment, and it didn't help   
   that he and his pals were never named. Call me uncultured, but throw me a   
   bone, huh? (Also, bottom third Fox promos are back?)

   Hurry it up, will ya?   
   Tonight's 7:00 repeat of ZABF03 (Livin' La Pura Vida) was compressed by quite   
   a bit, and timing changes between network airings have not been unheard of   
   throughout the last three decades, but they have been fairly rare, especially   
   in the last two decades.   
    From an original 21:29 runtime, it's been evenly compressed to an even 21   
   minutes, which is even shorter than the new average length. I also see that   
   this is the first season 31 repeat since season 32 began, and I wonder if   
   that's a factor. We'll see as    
   other (in-season and out-of-season) repeats occur.
