MUSIC ALERT:

-Joe Klemm

The correct response to "salaam alaikum" is "alaikum salaam"

One good attention to detail was wine glasses for Marge and Homer and water glasses for Bashir's parents.

Bit of a stretch, isn't it? Sometimes I miss the days where many of the episodes just had straightforward titles like "Lisa's Rival" or "Bart Gets an F".

Also, Shoreh Agdashloo plays a suburban housewife with a son whose family is suspected of being part of a terrorist plot (although on 24, they actually were).

"I Love The Night Life (Disco 'Round)" actually. By Alicia Bridges.

One of the better episodes of recent years, I thought. From the funny couch gag on it provided good laughs. The plot of Homer's unjustified intolerance for a new person wasn't exactly the most original (see "Homer's Phobia"), but it was well handled. The Apple store and Aladdin sequences were both well done. And Shoreh Agdashloo is a great choice for a guest voice!

Thanks, I thought it was the same person.
