   Meh? The intertwining of the timeline didn't really add much to the already   
   shaky premise of three random humiliations, and without the anthology   
   structure to require three stories, it probably would have been better as just   
   two. Bart's was the most    
   interesting of the lot, with several unusual twists and an unexpectedly sweet   
   outcome, even if Bart's "statement" was about as purposeful as Homer's pink   
   shirt (footage not found). VERY SHORT (I'm not sure if this was compressed at   
   all in response to the    
   long football game).   
      
   DYN:   
   ...another TV-14 rating (for what, a little extra violence, discussion of   
   gender expression, CBD...)?   
   ...CBG's cardboard costume arms are controlled by some unseen method (not his   
   own hands)?   
   ...the recording studio is called Mike Pop's?   
   ...both Marge and Kearney seem able to watch Bart's show on unmodified analog   
   antenna TVs?   
      
   Previous episode stuff   
   3G02: Lisa mentions Baker Street   
      
   Meta galore   
   Among other things, I saw...   
   Bongo rabbit doll (and maybe other LIH character costumes at the con)   
   Much voice artist and industry discussion, including Dan Castellaneta clearly   
   voicing CBG's replacement and claiming to be the voice of Itchy (Dan is) plus   
   doing a Doc Brown impression (he voiced Doc for the Back to the Future   
   animated series), Bart    
   doing impressions of other Nancy Cartwright characters (and Nancy as the   
   recording engineer who hires him), etc.   
   People in Kang and Kodos costumes, Matt Groening walking around the convention   
   at the end   
      
   Delay of show   
   Because the football game that ended at 7:50 still had to run about 10 minutes   
   of ads, the episode didn't begin till about 8:02:45. Make a note of it.   
      
   What comes after Z?   
   As I spent years wondering before learning the answer earlier this year, what   
   would happen after the ZABF episodes? QABF! I believed it, but I still wanted   
   to see with my own eyes. And I still think it's silly, particularly since   
   unless there is a    
   definite plan to end the show in two seasons, we'll be facing the same problem   
   soon, since only I, O, Q, and U had been skipped. Why not buy 4 years instead   
   of 2?
