   Yikes. Good job keeping the actual premise hidden behind a fake title/listing,   
   I guess, but though the idea of a surprise was welcome, the content was not.   
   There were a few inspired moments (such as acknowledging some "show-ruining"   
   real clips, the idea    
   that Homer hallucinated hundreds of episodes back in season 2...), but it was   
   mostly just random stupid crap. A showcase of amusing-in-isolation moments   
   that were truly cut for just being too silly could have been interesting, like   
   deleted scenes on a    
   DVD, but I don't believe most of these could possibly fit that description.   
   The Disney biting-the-hand humor feels completely toothless, too. This has   
   nothing on 3F18, or even the "future" lines of DABF12's "They'll Never Stop   
   the Simpsons." Perhaps it's    
   time for those last 3 words.   
      
      
   DYN:   
   ...the opening credits finished in half a minute to fit in before the real   
   storyline, as opposed to two or three minutes (frankly I'm surprised anyone   
   wants to take credit)?   
      
   Goof:   
   Even at the start of a word, an apostrophe should still curl to the left   
   (’), so ‘STACHE in one of the title cards is wrong.   
      
   Previous episode stuff (some clips in 4:3, nice) and meta   
   7G08: Future Bart warps into the first episode to divulge future secrets   
   5F01: Sleep-Eazy motel   
   4F18: Mr. Sparkle in one of the punny episode title illustrations   
   BABF09 (the famous jockey song), EABF19 (was the bear/dump scene really a huge   
   low point?): Some real clips of maximum damage moments mixed in with fake   
   stuff, though I can't be bothered to identify several others   
   7F06: Homer dreamed over 700 episodes in a 2-day coma sustained after his   
   Springfield Gorge jump (including specific references to AABF03, 1F13)
