Changed lines-

As Bart and Abraham drive into Branson, Abe comments "That is the flashiest 'Welcome to' sign ever!", but captioning reads "That is the flashiest 'Welcome to' sign I've ever seen!" (It seems like all they did was mute out the extra dialouge in the original line.)

In "That's Familiar!", the lyric about the celebrities thought to be killed in car crashes is captioned as plane crashes. Take a wild guess why they changed it...

This was the first episode since 1995 to be written by Jon Vitti. He was one of the original writers on the staff and he contributed such episodes as "Lisa's Substitute" and "Mr. Plow" and "Cape Feare" before moving on. His "old-style" writing (I mean that in a good way) is most clearly seen in the fact that tonight's episode followed a three-act structure rather than using act one for something extraneous followed by a two-act main story. Vitti has at least two more new scripts in the works, one mentioned in the New York Times article (can't remember what it's about) and another one where Lisa will pose as a college student.
