STUFF for "Little Big Girl" (JABF04) ------------------------------------ Written by Don Payne Directed by Raymond Persi Blackboard: none (but see DYNs) Couch: everyone is a stand-up paper doll; a pair of hands put clothes on them, after which they sit on the couch Special Guest Voice: Natalie Portman Also Starring: Pamela Hayden, Tress MacNeille, Karl Wiedergott Overseas Animation: Rough Draft TV Rating: TV-PG-DS

REVIEW: B - this had a couple of good plots and started out pretty well, but for some reason, both of the stories came to a screeching halt, and then there was that strange ending with Homer singing.

REFERENCES "Little Big Man" (title) Land-O-Lakes Butter (Bart's breakfast) Rice Krispies (Bart's breakfast) Jack Benny (Mr. Burns's response when Smithers says, "I'm Flaming") Harry Potter (one of the people in line to kiss Bart's butt) The Incredible Hulk (doll in Mylar Baggins) "Lady and the Tramp" (scene at the restaurant) 9F10 (Ogdenville and North Haverbrook mentioned)

DYNs
...Bart writes "SO LONG SUCKERS" on the blackboard during the show?
...Marge reads "Nagging Your Way to Ecstasy"?
...Cletus's family tree includes an alien, and it says he has (only)
   eleven children, inlcuding a sheep and a hot dog with legs?
...Lisa wears her pearls normally when she gives her report at school,
   but then switches to wearing them as a headdress?
...in the car version of the opening, Helen Lovejoy now has orange
   air, and (once again) Jasper replaces Bleeding Gums Murphy?
...the show includes "I'm Bart Simpson, Who the Hell Are You?" and
   "Bartman"?

GOOFS / FREEZE FRAME / WHATNOT Lisa tells Bart his hands should be at 2 and 10. In fact, if the steering wheel has an airbag, the hands should be at 3 and 9.

The fire went along an asphalt road, which should have acted as a fire break.

Wow, really? In my opinion, this episode was a train wreck from start to finish. I'm adding it to my F list, which includes only three other episodes from the entire series: "Alone Again Natura-Diddly," "Homer Simpson in: Kidney Trouble" and "Brawl in the Family." In other words, I haven't disliked an episode this much in more than five years.

One of the women in the audience at the Native American convention was wearing an ear of corn design shirt, just like Lisa's outfit, and, of course, just like the ear of corn curtains that we have been staring at for 18 years.

They were the Indian tribe in "F-Troop", I thought.

I'm surprised no one's mentioned the Fugawi's before now. ;)

On the establishing shot of the "Multicultural Day" at Springfield Elementary, there is an Australian stand set up. The Australian flag used is the same one from "Bart vs Australia", which depicts a boot kicking a man's buttocks.
