11/25 - PRE-EMPTED for "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace"
12/ 2 - A Hunka Hunka Burns in Love (CABF18)
Julia Louis-Dreyfus voices Mr. Burns' fiancee, who Burns meets
(with a little help from Homer) after a "night on the prowl"
when a fortune cookie says he'll find love that day...but this
may not be good news for Smithers, or for the woman's
ex-boyfriend - Snake
*** NOTE for San Francisco types: you guessed it, there's a 49ers
game starting at 5:00 that night, so, unless KTVU makes KICU
(Channel 36) show the game instead, like they did with the
recent Raiders game, expect this episode to air at MidnightUpcoming "Futurama" Episodes ----------------------------------------------------------- 11/25 - PRE-EMPTED for "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace"
12/ 2 - Another Fox NFL doubleheader day; stations in the Mountain and Pacific time zones will get "The Cryonic Woman"
IT LOOKS LIKE "FUTURAMA" IS NOT ALONE: Fox replaced a planned new episode of "King of the Hill" with a repeat on the west coast, presumably because one of its 4:15 (Eastern) NFL games ran well past 7:30
STUFF for "Homer the Moe" (CABF20) ---------------------------------- Written by Dana Gould Directed by Jen Kamerman Blackboard: A BURP IN A JAR IS NOT A SCIENCE PROJECT Couch: Everybody, in a football uniform, dives on a football; Maggie comes out of the pile with the ball, which she spikes Special Guest Voice: R.E.M. - Peter Buck, Mike Mills, Michael Stipe Also Starring: Pamela Hayden, Tress MacNeille, Karl Wiedergott Overseas Animation: Akom; N.J. Kim Rating: TV-PG-LV
REVIEW: B-plus - okay, it started a little slow, especially after the "hole that went nowhere" (in more ways than one), but it picked up with the "m" and "Homer's Hunting Club" bits, only to come crashing back down to earth with the turkey hunt (right, as if a storyline is going to have Homer actually shoot a turkey, or even eat one, in front of Lisa) - and what's with the "happy ending" ending?
REFERENCES "Happy Days" (Homer acting like Fonzie) 9F09 (Homer and a defibrulator - or is it defibulator?)
DYNs ...there was only one column of blackboard quotes? ...there was additional blank space between each quote? ...Bart drinks Mountain Dew (and it's not "Code Red") for breakfast? ...in Homer's story, Lisa tells Bart he'll get to China if he keeps digging, something the real Lisa would know isn't true? ...the dartboard score said "J I" and "G XII"? ...the university clock says "No Drinking Before 5:00", and all of the digits are 5? ...in Moe's, Homer serves Duff in bottles rather than from the tap? ...there's something that looks suspiciously like meat on Lisa's plate at dinner? ...the Malaysian beer has a yin/yang on the label? ...all three of Moe's bouncers had "girl" names? ...Homer doesn't bother with details like connecting his urinal to plumbing? ...Homer's bar has a "Devil's Advocate" pinball machine?
I couldn't find any goofs / freeze frame / whatnot that isn't listed in the DYNs, so here's a transcript of the prank call instead:
Homer: N-y-hello? Bart: Uh, yeah, I'd like to speak to a Mr. Tabogger, first name Ollie. Homer: (excited) Ooh, Bart, my first prank call! What do I do? Bart: Just ask if anyone knows Ollie Tabooger Homer: I don't get it. Bart: Yell out "I'll eat a booger". Homer: What's the gag? Bart: Oh, forget it.
