REVIEW: B-plus - one of the better episodes this season; there was
        even a twist on the "somebody saves the day" ending (unlike,
        say, DABF18), not to mention something for the longtime fans
        (a Snowball II episode) and something for those on the line
        between reality and Simpsonmania (Miss Hoover in a bikini).

REFERENCES "Old Yeller" (title) "Garfield" (Luigi mentions a cat who likes lasagna) "2001: A Space Odyssey" (Blue Danube waltz and outer space) "Pyramid" (SLH on a game show) "Jaws" (shark about to attack Homer) Pepsi Blue (Duff Blue) "Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret" ("...Duffman") 7G08 (Santa's Little Helper's first owner) 1F11 (somebody asks what has somebody else done for them lately) 1F22 (Amish) AABF06 (Vegas wife on Homer's list)

DYN
...Sherri and Terri are at Lisa's tea party, even though they're two
   years older than she is?
..."NASA" was not pronounced "Nassau" this time?
...Lisa had no problem letting Santa's Little Helper be exploited by
   Homer?
...there were two screens of "Also Starring" actors, even though
   there were only five names?  (1F18 put six names on one screen)
...Frank Welker was not in this episode, even though the two Simpson
   pets played big parts?
...they never do rebuild the treehouse the second time (but, of
   course, the next time it is needed, it will not only be rebuilt,
   but look exactly like the old one)?

GOOFS / FREEZE FRAME / WHATNOT When the Amish raised the wall of the treehouse, the wall was larger than the section of the treehouse it was meant to cover.

How did they run electricity up to the treehouse, anyway?
