11/25 - PRE-EMPTED for "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace"

"HEY, I THOUGHT YOU SAID THE SIMPSONS WOULD BE ON AT MIDNIGHT IN SAN FRANCISCO! WHAT HAPPENED?" Apparently, somebody at Fox got on the phone to KTVU or something and said, "We hear that you want to show a Raiders game instead of our season premieres tonight. How badly do you want to show the Super Bowl next January?", and KTVU responded, "Okay, we'll dump the Raiders game onto KICU and show The Simpsons at its usual time..." (I didn't know about the switch until I turned on KTVU expecting to see the Raiders game and saw a Friends rerun.)

REVIEW: B - is it just me, or do the one-plotline shows just seem to be going through the motions? There were plenty of chances for the old "slapstick" style humor, but they kept pounding that "cobras" gag into us instead, and the bit with Homer and Marge in stocks didn't really go anywhere either (well, except for Nelson and the extension cord). And somebody explain what that scene atop the SNPP towers was supposed to be...

DYNs
...Flanders apparently doesn't wear a belt?  (How else could he get
   his pants off by doing a hula?)
...the statue outside the juvenile court was a little girl with the
   traditional blindfold, scales, and sword?
...Homer and Marge have been declared bad parents before?
...Jimbo was in the courtroom when Homer and Marge were sentenced?
..."Dr. Bonebreak" the wrestler looks like Hulk Hogan back in his
   WWF days?
...Snake's shirt number is TF20?

GOOFS / FREEZE FRAME / WHATNOT Why would a juvenile judge try Homer and Marge for sinking the houseboat?

In the baseball game, Milhouse's glove switched from a fielder's glove to a catcher's mitt.

The police car's engine was running at one point, yet Bart never started it. It also managed to switch from coasting backwards to coasting forwards.

This post on Sun, 11 Nov 2001 21:09:54 -0800 would probably sound more commanding if Don Del Grande wasn't wearing the Yummy Sushi Pajamas:

Possible Explanation: As part of the judge's "punish the parents" approach, they were still under 'lock & stock' order.

Another Goof: Why weren't OFF represented by a lawyer? Come to think of it, they missed a good opportunity to take a swipe at "The Guardian" (with the Generic Snivelly Corporate Lawyer forced to help out OFF).

well i think that this episode was geniunely a parody on court television shows like judge judy and joe brown and in these shows the people are not represented by an attourney

it,

That's a good question.

Of course, Phil Hartman/Lionel Hutz is dead, so I guess they couldn't figure out how to replace him...

But in that case, why'd have an episode like this?

She prob. didn't press charges so she could really punish them in her courtroom for removing the stocks.
