   Matt Garvey to All   
   Notes for UABF08 (Bart the Cool Kid)   
   20 Mar 22 17:55:59   
   
   From: mxg77@po.cwru.edu   
      
   Not bad, though also not amazing. This seemed to straddle the realms of   
   classic pop culture commentary and basing an episode around a celebrity, and   
   it didn't get stupid and unwatchable - the eventual story development of dads   
   ruining cool things was    
   pretty good - but it also seemed to lack bite, or something. But hey, could   
   have been a lot worse, and having the celebrity not play himself is a big plus.   
      
   DYN:   
   ...the popcorn stops popping immediately when the microwave is turned off?   
   ...multiple lines were changed after animation?   
   ...the Bart sneakers, although "randomly" colored, go yellow-red-blue from top   
   down, as Bart's head, shirt, and shorts do?   
      
   Previous episode stuff   
   YABF21: this Mike Wegmans guy is back   
   2F01: the knockoff Bart sneakers are called Bort-1s   
      
   As usual   
   The race ran long again today, so out here, the 7:00 repeat (UABF01 airing 3)   
   didn't run at all. The next show (a rerun) was joined in progress about a   
   third of the way through.   
      
   And finally...   
   We're only a little bit through the UABFs, but it looks like some episode   
   codes from next season are out, and to my astonishment, next up seems like   
   OABF. Yes, as weird as it was that with no end in sight to the show the   
   letters Q and U were chosen to    
   follow Z, rather than I and O, it's even weirder that I and O themselves are   
   not going in order. I doubt anyone is planning for the show to end at season   
   34, so why not go back to I first? Is that the only letter that will turn out   
   to be completely    
   forbidden, or will it just come next anyway? In any event, I see that the four   
   originally-skipped letters will spell out QUOI, a useful mnemonic, as it's   
   French for WHAT, as in WHAT the hell is going on over there??
