      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              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
