   Also: Tonight's new Family Guy (CutawayLand, KACX01) also had a Snagglepuss   
   "exit stage right" joke, although it didn't seem to have the sides correct.   
   Later, a very vague suggestion for solving a warping of reality trapping the   
   characters was given by    
   an obsessive nerd versed in fiction tropes.

   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.
