DYN...
...the episode was dedicated to Steven Jay Gould? (A Simpsons guest star in 5F05, Lisa the Skeptic, Gould passed away on May 20, 2002 of cancer...two days before this episode aired.) ...Ralph was playing with Santa's Little Helper? ...Fox's Celebrity Boxing was mentioned during the blackout? (Celebrity Boxing II aired after the first showing of DABF17.) ...contrary to early news about this episode, Lisa's Malibu Stacy collection was stolen instead of her saxaphone?
Review: After the walking pile of garbage that was the official season finale, we were gifted with a surprisingly enjoyable episode tonight. It had a few overly wacky moments towards the beginning, but none that were painful to watch. There were some nice metareferences (Homer's list of careers), and I found a fair amount of the episode to be somewhat believeable. Rating: B+
