...This was the first time they cut the opening since 5F22, the first time in almost 3 1/2 years? ...Dr. Hibbert was not at the Republican Party meeting, unlike in 2F02? ...Kent Brockman only refers to the administration and not Bush by name (perhaps fear by the OFF writers of backlash after the events of 9/11)?

Review: This episode was all over the place. First it's a slam on the GOP, then it's OFF getting a social worker after fighting over Monoply, then it's the return of the floozies from "Viva Ned Flanders". With all the wandering this episode did, they should of stuck with the GOP slams or spread out the plot with OFF & the social worker. With an episode that's all over the place like this, you need to have good jokes to carry the episode, alas most of the jokes fell flat. My biggest beef was with Homer, who was just as stupid as he was in the Mike Scully era (this episode cut of fit in nicely, IMO). Didn't they promise that he wouldn't be as stupid? So far the Al Jean era is off to weak start. (C-)
