      8:00 . Dude, Where's My Ranch? (EABF13)
      David Byrne guest voices as himself when Homer's not particularly
glowing song about Flanders becomes a big hit, and the Simpsons end up
vacationing at a dude ranch, where Bart and Homer get between Native
Americans and beavers

preview from tvguide.com Simpsons Dude, Where's My Ranch? 30 min. After David Byrne turns Homer's anti-Flanders song into a monster hit, the family vacations at a dude ranch, where Lisa falls in love with a wrangler (Jonathan Taylor Thomas), and Homer and Bart rescue Native Americans from beavers. Tress MacNeille, Karl Wiedergott, Hank Azaria. (VCR Plus+ 3263)

People: Information on Jonathan Taylor Thomas can be found at: http://us.imdb.com/Name?Thomas,+Jonathan+Taylor Nice to see that he found work. Information on Karl Wiedergott can be found at: http://us.imdb.com/Name?Wiedergott,+Karl

Gropius Bauhaus Village: One of the best art movements of the 20th century, information on it can be found at http://www.artcyclopedia.com/history/bauhaus.html. Klee and Kandinsky are probably the most famous artists of the movement, but I am also a big fan of Moholy-Nagy's photographs.

Loved the Toblerone in the mini bar. What do those things normally cost? 4 or 5 dollars usually?

Review: First off, Jonathan Taylor Thomas played a much better love interest than the ultra-earth-jerk played by Joshua Jackson. Also, was it just me, or were the Simpsons celebrating the end of Passover by mentioning two of the pretty common culinary staples of the reflection time (whitefish and matzo balls)? I have to admit that I did laugh out loud at the scene of Maggie dancing to B. Spears. The only problem I had with this episode is why does lisa seem to be the only dynamic character on the show? She has definitely had her share of life changes for an eight year old. Maybe it is because she is only interesting if she is constantly changing? Either way, it was a good episode and one that will probably even hold up well in syndication. Grade: B+

What was Lisa's crush in 2F04? (btw, that's cabf_1_4...)

There's also a previous episode reference here; the fictitious movie titles "Dude, Where's My Pepsi?" and "Dude, Where's My Virginity?" have appeared (I believe in both cases on the marquee at the Springfield Googolplex).

I found it to be a continuity error -- OFF went to the dude ranch precisely because it didn't have radios!

Yes, I know -- a wizard did it. And I hope that wizard got fired for it.

I found the scene to be a funny takeoff on Britney Slut, but was also somewhat disturbed by it, since I immediately thought of the continuity error, as well as it requiring Marge to be somewhat out of character. I don't think she'd want Maggie listening to such crap -- remember that she didn't want Lisa getting her ears pierced.

I could swear it had a visible tuning section, and (more importantly) a whip antenna. I'll defer to somebody who taped the episode, however.

Perhaps it has CD players, but doesn't get radio signals.

That doesn't mean it worked. Alternatively, maybe Maggie sneaked the radio in (I wouldn't put it past her), or they DID get radio signals, but not from Springfield stations.

Okay, here's what may be a stupid question. In the radio promos for this week's episode, when Homer says "Hey you city slickers in your fur coats and pointy hats..." he follows it up with "go back to Scarsdale!" My wife and I both took clear note of it because I grew up in Scarsdale, NY. In the episode as broadcast, he says "go back to Pittsburgh." Any ideas why it changed? Or would they do different radio ads in different markets?

Also, in the TV previews, when Homer says the fur coats and pointy hats line and Marge says "Homer, those are deer", he says "What-EVER!" in that tone that most teens would use. But in the actual episode he says "But I still hate them" instead. Why change that?
