Random Ranting: Can someone explain what Fox was thinking when Scully pitched the Pitts? Also, why does every episode of Boston Public have to be a "very special episode"
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+
