Review: There were some cute references and a nice story, but I really dont know what it takes to make me happy with this show anymore. While I did like the reference to "Stand By Me", as I would references to any movie that has one of the Corey's in it (Lisa would like that too), The rest of the story seemed to come out of nowhere. Who was this guy again and why were we supposed to care? Oh, Smithers said so earlier in the episode, I guess. Maybe Homer is a little TOO controlled by his id sometimes. He gets a feeling and off he goes. Another adventure. Another story going all over the place. One more thing. Does anyone else not like the re-using of jokes such as the professor as Professor Julius Kelp in the Nutty Professor? Now if they made him like the Klumps that would be a different story. :-)
