   Agreed!  It was a not-bad episode.   
      
   I don't like the timeline stretching, though.  I am happy believing that   
   Homer and Marge were in high school in the 1970s and that the kids are   
   still the same age now that they've been since the late 1980s.  OTOH, keeping   
   them at the same age and from the same time would mean you'd eventually run   
   out of historic events from their backstory that the writers had not already   
   covered!  ;)

   Thanks for keeping that going.  I can still remember reading someone's   
   (Raymond Chen?) summarys/reviews/DYN lists in this group back c1993.  Glad to   
   see some activity here.
