      January 12 . The Dad Who Knew Too Little (EABF03)
      After Homer gets Lisa an inappropriate birthday present (didn't he and
Marge get her some writing paper for her birthday in "Stark Raving Dad"?),
he hires a private investigator to find out more about her

Preview from tvguide.com: Simpsons Dad Who Knew Too Little 30 min. After his insensitive birthday gift to Lisa, Homer hires a PI to dig up information on her so he can know her better. But there's a problem with the bill. Hank Azaria, Yeardley Smith, Harry Shearer. (VCR Plus+ 5676)

Movie Reference: The man who knew too little: Information on the movie can be found at http://us.imdb.com/Title?0120483

Births and Deaths on early shows tonight: Futurama had the birth of Kif's and Leela's babies (they are just tadpoles now but in 20 years will become children) and KOTH had a death (some crazy pig guy played by Michael Keaton). How can the Simpsons top that?

TV show references:

MTV Cribs: Padz

Krusty is not keeping kosher part 20:

Eating shellfish in tonight's episode.

Previous Episode Reference: [1F14] Homer Loves Flanders: Maude did not want her kids to have sugar. I guess it was because Rod had diabetes (mentioned in tonights episode). [3F21] Homerpalooza: Homer gets shot in the belly with something that came out of a cannon

So who is Lisa's best friend? I think the only time that she ever mentions having a friend that is her best would be from episode Lisa's Rival [1F17]. I guess that means that she has gone about 8 years without having a best friend.

Members of the traveling Wilburys: George Harrison (Of The Beatles) , Tom Petty (Of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers) ,Roy Orbison ,Bob Dylan , and Jeff Lynne (Of Electric Light Orchestra (E.L.O.))

[email] : Homer's new email address. I think it would have been cute had he had the internet king or something like that.

Review: Overall a pretty good episode. I liked the story and how quickly the plot moved. While there was no subplot to the episode, the main plot was interesting enough. Too bad they could not get Michael Jackson (I mean, John Jay Smith) for Lisa's birthday again. Grade: B+

I'd have said Janey is the best friend she has; she doesn't show up too often, but I saw her a couple times in season 13, and maybe in 14 as well.

You know, I thought they didn't need Elliott Gould to guest-star on here tonight. He only had a few lines and he didn't do anything.

That's a bad thing? That's what cameos used to be on the Simpsons. Maybe you should go watch When You Dish Upon a Star.

[1F17].

Wasn't it Janie (Janey?)?
