   Matt Garvey to All   
   Notes for OABF18 (Homer's Crossing) and    
   01 Oct 23 17:53:35   
   
   From: garvey@simpsonsarchive.com   
      
   Reasonably good, decent mix of satire and commentary without getting ludicrous   
   or too preachy. (I'm still not sure how crossing guards, let alone a single   
   one, could be tasked with *directing* massive vehicular traffic, though.) Not   
   a bad start to the    
   35th season of ANY show. Somewhat rare heightened TV-14 rating for some   
   roundabout discussion of sex?   
      
   Previous episode stuff   
   7F23: Homer's small talk at work includes joking about apples in the vending   
   machine, but he wasn't so amused before (when they were the only option)   
      
   Little adjustments have been made to the copyright screen over the years, with   
   OABF13's still practically the same as the very first episode's, but now there   
   has been a massive overhaul, with LOTS of legalese jammed in, and the classic   
   "The Simpsons    
   Episode #____" replaced with just "Production #______". Weird. The biggest   
   change lately was after the Disney buyout, but what precipitated this?   
      
      
   Summer rerun changes   
   -OABF05 airing #2 (6/4 at 7:00, or joined in progress anyway) lost the   
   original broadcast's dedication to Chris Ledesma   
   -OABF06 airing #2 (7/9) swapped out the David Crosby dedication for one to   
   Treat Williams (with a still from PABF12), but also altered the cast credits:   
   originally Kipp Lennon was listed as a guest star, though I couldn't place him   
   in the episode, and    
   for good reason as apparently his part was cut, and the repeat and presumably   
   all versions going forward remove the erroneous credit   
   -OABF07 airing #2 (7/23) added a dedication to Tony Bennett with what looks   
   like a promotional caricature of him from 7F05
