   Notes for QABF06   
   28 Feb 21 18:12:00   
   
   From: mxg77@po.cwru.edu   
      
   Uneven. There were a few core ideas that worked, such as Marge's concerns   
   about Bart's independence and the classic satirical outlook on the rich (tax   
   avoision techniques and so on). I can roll with the gigantic golf course in   
   the middle of town that no    
   one's ever noticed before or will ever again, to a point. It didn't really wow   
   me though, and the ending was a mess. By the way, I don't like Caddyshack, but   
   I did appreciate the musical nod (the first time).   
      
   DYN:   
   ...Phineas Q. Butterfat's ice cream parlor has rebranded to "PQB's"?   
      
   Previous episode thing   
   1F14: Bart leads his friends in disappearing into a hedge by pointing out (as   
   the show has several times now) that he saw Homer do it   
      
   Hello...   
   -new voice for Wendell? (or whoever that kid is)   
   -long after the rest, new voice for Dr. Hibbert? (It's only one line, but it   
   sounds like KMR *now*.)   
      
   ...and goodbye   
   Pre-Gracie dedication (maybe one that will stick a little more?) to longtime   
   writer, producer, and occasional voice Marc Wilmore (with a Simpsons-esque   
   caricature, not a screenshot), who apparently died at the end of January. I   
   came to know him first/   
   best as the one psychologist in BABF18 (It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Marge), with   
   a distinctive delivery on the line "you recently went berserk in a ice cream   
   parlor", and that's basically how I came to recognize the name in other   
   credits, and his brother    
   Larry when he was brought on The Daily Show. An odd story, maybe, but it   
   really stuck in my head.   
      
   At least it wasn't a rain delay   
   Car race that was scheduled to be over by 7 (ha) didn't end until just after,   
   so naturally it took 15 minutes to wrap up coverage. Because Fox is now   
   running all new shows Sunday nights, and since it actually seems to care about   
   them (cough cough King of    
   the Hill and Malcolm in the Middle), I think we're in for a lot of delayed   
   airings this spring. Tonight's lineup shift was about 18:45.
