   Interesting concept, as well as a rare animated example of the classic "bottle   
   episode", and not too bad, with some innovation for the show that definitely   
   worked better than a few recent two-parters I could name. Shades of 5F18 and   
   7G09 come to mind but    
   this episode is its own thing. Even though it's merely the Act I plot   
   kickstarter, I do think Lisa's worry about her parents' relationship is   
   completely misguided (in this episode anyway), and I'm surprised it didn't get   
   refuted later on; on the other    
   hand, the survival adventure didn't "save" the relationship either. And I know   
   it's parodying tropes of survival reality shows particularly in Act II, but   
   there seemed to be a looot of unnecessary pixelation - was that the joke?   
      
      
   What a long time it's been between new episodes. Looks like the longest   
   midseason gap (8 weeks) since a 9-week one four years ago. In that time...   
      
   Two new dedications added to episode repeats, on the same night (a first?):   
   Betty White (image from BABF11) dedication in airing 2 of QABF20 on 1/16 at 7   
   pm, and   
   Peter Bogdanovich (image from JABF09) dedication in airing 2 of QABF18 at 8 pm   
   also on 1/16.   
      
   Airing 3 of QABF21 (A Serious Flanders [Part I]) on 1/23 reinstated the   
   next-episode-in... countdown gag on the executive producers credits,   
   presumably because Part II's repeat that same night was not immediately after   
   it (for some reason), but it did    
   not change the time displayed to reflect the real-world 30ish minutes' wait.   
   It also kept the closing credits instead of windowing them.   
      
   2/20's repeat of UABF05, predictably, dropped the John Madden dedication the   
   episode originally had on 1/2; that whole night's lineup was also shifted by   
   12 minutes because of a NASCAR overrun. (2/6 had a similar lineup shift for   
   the same reason. Tonight'   
   s substantial race delay just resulted in a total preemption of the scheduled   
   7:00 QABF17 repeat, in the East at least, and the usual approach of a   
   joined-in-progress 7:30 rerun at about 7:41/43.)
