STUFF for "Revenge is a Dish Best Served Three Times" (JABF05) -------------------------------------------------------------- Written by Joel H, Cohen Directed by Dominic Polcino Blackboard; none Couch: everybody is an infant until they reach the couch, then they change to their normal ages Also Starring: Pamela Hayden, Tress MacNeille, Russi Taylor, Karl Wiedergott Overseas Animation: Akom TV Rating: TV-PG-DV
REVIEW: B-plus - yes, I do tend to like the anthology episodes better than the normal ones, mainly because there's usually no time in the stories for the boring parts. However, it seemed like none of the stories really had endings - especially the last two. (Although, to be honest, while I don't normally go for the non sequitur endings, I did enjoy the Star Wars list...but where was the love for Yoda?)
REFERENCES 8F08 (Moe spelled "Meaux") 9F22 (foreign word for "The" translated into English) "The Count of Monte Cristo" "The Man in the Iron Mask" (in the prison) "Revenge of the Nerds" ("Revenge of the Geeks") "General Hospital" ("Genital Hospital") "Batman Begins" ("Bartman Begins") "King Kong" (giant gorilla at the top of a building) "Star Wars" (the list of dead characters)
NOT A REFERENCE "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" - the phrase "Revenge is a dish best served cold" predates it
DYN ...in the opening, when Homer goes from an infant to an adult, he has a full head of hair briefly? ...Homer says "Oo-The-The" (a translation of "Oo-La-La")? ...Jimbo is reading a Daily Racing Form? ...the list of characters who died in the "Star Wars" films does not include Yoda?
GOOFS / FREEZE FRAME / WHATNOT The road has a dotted yellow line, but it is a divided highway, so it should be a white line. (A dotted yellow line indicates separate directions of traffic.)
In the scene "five years later" after Homer escapes, Bart and Lisa appear to be the same ages as they were five years earlier.
The bullies are playing shuffleboard backwards - the point of the target should be facing the players.
The setting on the Getbackinator that comes after Wet Willie changes from Dry Willie to Freshman Facial.
