D�j� vu

Bart brings his pet to class for show and tell. It escapes and wreaks havoc on the school.

A character in a position of authority at Springfield Elementary complains when the students fail to respond to a joke that is essentially the same as another character's joke that immediately preceded it.

Sound familiar?

I've grown accustomed to the recycling of ideas from earlier seasons, but is it so much to ask that two distinct (and very specific) concepts from the same episode (in this instance, 1F18) not re-appear in one scene?

http://www.snpp.com/episodes/1F18.html

Ralph: Um, Miss Hoover? There's a dog in the vent. Hoover: Ralph, remember the time you said Snagglepuss was outside? Ralph: He was going to the bathroom. -- The boy who cried "dog", "Sweet Seymour Skinner's Baadasssss Song"

    Willy: [yells] Make way for Willy!  [lands on Chalmers] I said
"Make
           way for Willy," you bloated gasbag.

Billy and the Cloneasaurus.

Give-a the kid-a a plate of the red-a crap-a.

Young Ned: Whoopsie doodle.
Ned's Dad: Oh, man!  Ned spelled ink all over my poems.  He's a real
           flat tire, I mean a cube, man.  He's putting us on the
train
           to Squaresville, Mona!

The old episodes were SO GOOD!

That was then and this is now.

The 10-year-olds who watched ep 1F18 for the first time were old enough to vote five years ago.

Huh? The 10 year olds who didn't watch it weren't old enough to vote either. If you mean that the people who saw 1F18 in prime time when they were 10 years old were still too young to vote five years ago, .... ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

Opinicus, which one of these people were you? 1. Led the Roman Army against Carthage. 2. Helped Spartacus escape from the Gladiator school. 3. Wrote editorials for the "Daily Forvm" 2100 years ago. 4. The original founders of Rome were Romulus, Remus, and Opinicus? Just like that guy on the Simpsons spoof of the Lewis and Clark expidition, you were consigned to the dustbin of history by accident?
