      From: mxg77@po.cwru.edu              Meh. Now that TOH election commentary is obligatory it's lost all meaning,       though I appreciate the laundry list of offenses. Toy Gory: I don't like the       3D animation style the show occasionally uses, nor the Randy Newman       impression, and why bother this        now? At least it had a little of the unapologetic blunt violence of some older       TOHs. Spider-verse annoyed me to death, and so did Homer-verse. Lisa's time       loop was more confusing than anything, and I still have no idea how she broke       it. Also, Star Trek        IV (not Four) did not HAVE a time loop. The credits concept of counting       backward (for some reason) through each previous TOH story wasn't bad, but it       was FAR too fast to be anything but disorienting, especially since the very       first one was a still of a        title card with text bigger than the cast credit. And the entire thing was       under 21 minutes, with credits. In a 31-minute slot. That's over 32%       commercials. And I see those annoying bottom thirds have been back lately. But       hey, I guess it's still Dr.        Hibbert's voice.              DYN:       ...Homer's "Judge Judy" line in the opening seems to be a replacement?       ...ZABF17 (the production code) is on the Radioactive Man toy's instruction       manual?              Previous episode stuff       4F02: Voting for Kang/Kodos       2F31, YABF15: Krusty waving animals into Krustyburger similar       CABF19: Vomiting frog prince       7F04, 8F02, etc.: Every previous TOH story, as far as I can tell, gets one       image in the credits              And finally       Whatever that football game was (Bucs/Bengals?), it went into sudden death       overtime and didn't end till 7:59, so the real shows are on a 6-minute delay.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
