   I'll call this uneven. Focusing episodes on side characters, especially at   
   this stage, is usually welcome, and the premise seemed pretty good if not   
   especially profound. Oddly it was the fairly inconsistent behavior of Lisa   
   that made it frustrating,    
   although all the characters seemed extremely suggestible with the memory of a   
   goldfish at times.   
      
   DYN:   
   ...the Duff commercial parodies are all 20 years apart, but the pattern   
   doesn't align with present day (actually it's almost as far out of alignment   
   as possible)?   
      
   The Packers-Cowboys game went into overtime and did not end until 7:55;   
   astonishly, this only delayed the rest of the night's lineup by 3 minutes.   
      
   This airing (and presumably none in the future, but time will tell) is   
   dedicated to David Davis, with the usual cartoon rendering; he was married to   
   Julie Kavner (and has a lot of James L. Brooks connections) and died on 11/4.   
      
   And this is the first OABF episode to air, making good on the promise of what   
   letter would follow U (even though it makes no attempt to keep an order to the   
   sequence). If the final unused letter is assigned next year, that will make   
   production seasons 32-   
   35 use the season designations Q-U-O-I ("what??"), though it remains to be   
   seen what will happen after that if the show doesn't abruptly stop.
