REVIEW: B-plus - it was "meh", but a good "meh". They could have gotten to Homer and his new roommates a little quicker (too many jigsaw puzzle jokes), and it could have done without the "Marge dumps Homer in front of everybody, then reconciles in the hospital" ending.

REFERENCES "Three Days of the Condor" (title) 3F10, 4F11 (Pin Pals shirt) 9F07 (Mr. Plow jacket) 4F12 (Lenny thinks Homer might be Poochie again) "Clerks" et. al. (Homer calls Maggie "Silent Bob") "Victor/Victoria" ("Victor/Victoria's" clothing shop)

SELF-REFERENCE Homer not noticing the newspaper rack (mainly because it had never been there)

DYNs
...the show is rated "TV-14" in the USA (presumably because of the
   kiss)?
...when Homer shaves, the stubble doesn't immediately come back this
   time?
...the picture of Grampa in Homer's bedroom looks like Hans Moleman?
...the phone number in the ad is 556-5555?  "Quick, somebody dial it!"
...when Moe's first opened, King Toot's Music Store wasn't there
   (and Moe's had a parking lot of its own)?
...either in the present, the camera in the hospital is still black
   and white (as it was when Homer had his first case of alcohol
   poisoning), or Doctor Hibbert's TV is black and white?

GOOFS / FREEZE FRAME / WHATNOT Golden Gate Park is between the Golden Gate Bridge and downtown San Francisco (and you can't see the bridge from the bandstand shell), but the picture shows downtown between the bridge and the park. (Based on the picture, downtown is where the park should be, and the park is about where Fisherman's Wharf should be.)

The credits included a scene of Marge picking up the refrigerator, presumably to look for the missing jigsaw puzzle piece, but it's not in the show.

Homer had his "Pin Pals" shirt, but it was destroyed by Mr. Burns's dogs in 3F10. (It's possible that a duplicate was made, and Homer bought it from whoever was selling it in 4F11.)

There were far too many jigsaw pieces to fit into the box.

That sounds really funny. Not the dude ranch part (although that could be good), but the anti-Flanders song part.
