   Considering how many fairly nasty jabs they took at Abrams, I figured   
   that couldn't actually be him doing his own voice.  So I was surprised   
   when his name popped up in the credits.  Guess he has a good sense of   
   humor about all the crap fanboys say about him online.

   My daughter was born in '99, so I can confirm that animatronic pizza   
   joints still existed in the 00s.  I think the 90s setting was more to   
   explain why teenage Homer was suddenly into hip-hop and rap.

   Same here.  I've just gotten into the habit of setting the DVR up to   
   record all the Sunday animated show slots plus the hour-long slot for   
   local news afterwords, so as to catch everything.
