   I'm really done with "past" episodes by now. At this point they offer nothing   
   new, neither general-interest fun nor any emotional impact, and the latter is   
   true especially when they obviously contradict the "settled" timeline. Meh.   
   Also, can someone tell    
   the writers when Mother's Day is? (Hint: it's not in November, nor did the   
   episode span months or even days.)   
      
   And can someone explain what the credits are a reference to?   
      
   DYN:   
   ...act 3's therapy session starts with a banner notice on Homer's phone that a   
   Toyota ad starts in about 3:24, which almost indicated the time left IN the   
   act before more ads, but was about 15 seconds off?   
      
   Previous episode stuff   
   3G03, movie, other episodes I'm too lazy to look up: this and that in opening   
   and "couch gag"   
   8F03: Flowers By Irene FBI truck (followed up by several other variants)   
      
      
   And in blackboard news   
   Last week's new Family Guy (The Birthday Bootlegger, LACX05) included a quick   
   blackboard punishment by Bart (in Simpsons art style) near the end of its   
   first act: "It's a pleasure to work for the Disney corporation".
