3/9 - Dial 'N' for Nerder (KABF07) Bart and Lisa think they have killed Martin after a prank gone horribly wrong; Marge calls on a "Cheaters"-like show to catch Homer in the act...of cheating on his diet
3/16 - Funeral for a Fiend (KABF01) When Sideshow Bob's latest plan to kill the Simpsons falls apart, he ends up falling dead during his attempted murder trial after Bart gets rid of his nitroglycerin for his heart condition, turning Bart into the town pariah, only for Bob's brother Cecil to suggest that Bart pay his final respects to Bob before his cremation, only for the whole thing to be an enormous ruse that ends up with Bart being tossed into the crematorium fire and burned to a fiery yellow crisp...made you look!
3/23 - E Pluribus Wiggum (KABF03) When Springfield hosts the nation's first Presidential primary, Homer decides to get back at the obtrusiveness of the candidates and media by coming up with an alternative candidate - Ralph Wiggum
SOMETHING ELSE FOR WHICH YOU CAN BLAME JEFF GORDON The 30-minute delay in airing tonight's episode in the Eastern and Central time zones was caused mainly by a lengthy red flag near the end of the race caused when Jeff Gordon's car went out of control and slammed into an unprotected part of the track's inside wall. (Okay, all of the other yellow flags were going to make it close anyway, but that one with Gordon pushed it to 8:30 Eastern.) And will somebody please tell Reverend MikeJoy - er, Mike Joy - that it's not "The Family Guy" any more than it's "The NASCAR"?

DYN ...Homer's taxi license says "Hair: None"? ...the loaner has separate heating and A/C? (Some luxury cars allow the driver and passenger sides to have different temperature settings) ...apparently, there's no meat in the school burgers (they were included in the lunch plan, which Skinner said did not include meat)
HERESY Whoever did Nurse Doris's voice did NOT sound like Doris Grau - I know Tress can do a passable Doris, so what happened?
GOOFS / FREEZE FRAME / WHATNOT Actually, somebody does make blue vines for sale in the USA. Green and orange ones, too.
When Homer's car bumper hit Bart's skateboard, it should have lifted the skateboard's back into the air, not its front.
