   Surprise followup to a 33-year-old episode, eh? A. Brooks is not sounding   
   quite as young and suave anymore, but he does give it a good shot, and the   
   episode was not bad (apart from a few very silly things), benefiting greatly   
   from the straightforward,    
   grounded story. I'm surprised the original episode was not recapped even more.   
   Jacques's ad libs seemed a bit more restrained, but there was some fun there.   
   Side note: I'm not sure whether it was in the Fox network feed, but shortly   
   before the credits,    
   there was a Progressive commercial with a bowling trophy.   
      
   Previous episode stuff   
   2F09: Kent's discussion of how eggs were considered bad and then good again,   
   and so on, reminiscent of an older moment   
   3F10: Pin Pals shirts and episode title inspiration, etc.   
   7G11: Jacques   
   2F10 (BABF02): Shining Homer's head in a ball polisher (not the Shine-O Ball-O   
   though), among other general bowling things   
   AABF06, 7F20...: Start of a montage of times Homer disappointed Marge (I don't   
   have it in me today to try to identify them all)
