Upcoming Episodes plus STUFF for "Ice Cream of Margie (With the Light Blue Hair)" (HABF22)

Homer, recently fired by Mr. Burns, starts driving an ice cream truck, which leads to Marge's popsicle-stick sculptures becoming Springfield's new hot topic

12/3 ** NOTE SPECIAL TIME: 8:30 Eastern, 7:30 Central, 7:00 Mountain, 8:00 Pacific ** The Mook, the Chef, the Wife, and Her Homer Lisa becomes friends with Fat Tony's son, who invites the Simpsons over for dinner, during which Fat Tony is shot, but when the boy says he would rather be a chef than a "legitimate businessman," Homer becomes head of Fat Tony's family (the later time in the Eastern and Central time zones is because of Fox airing the BCS bowl selections live nationwide at 8:00 Eastern)

12/10 - The Haw-Hawked Couple (JABF02 - note episode IDs will not begin with "I" as they would be confused with "1") Bart becomes Nelson's new best friend, which has its advantages (mainly, nodoby dares mess with Bart), butone of the disadvantages is that he can no longer be seen near Milhouse

REVIEW: C-plus - there was really only one thing wrong with the episode; somebody at Fox decided that they couldn't end the episode at the second commercial break. And please leave the non sequitirs (like the iPod ending) to Family Guy.

DYNs
...Professor Stein's book says it is "by Professor Stein"?
...popsicle stick Bart has a square head, and Lisa's hair is not
   filled in?
...Kent Brockman is in a traffic copter?
...when Kent Brockman mentioned the other stations, he did not list
   Channel Ocho?
...Kent mentioned the 101-405 interchange - US 101 and I-405 have an
   interchange near Burbank?
...Homer's record player has speeds of 16, 33, and 45, but not 78?
...Homer waves his Polaroid pictures?  (This is an urban legend;
   waving them does not make them develop faster)
...Homer doesn't realize that it doesn't do much good to give Marge
   money as it is from their joint account?
...Homer doesn't get his old job back?

GOOFS / FREEZE FRAME / WHATNOT When Marge fired the pistols for the first time, they didn't flash.

Homer claimed he was out of ice cream, but there were ice cream bars being released from the truck when he tried to make it lighter.

This is not the only episode that ends with principal characters being whipped by hideous creatures. According to http://www.snpp.com/episodes/4F02.html:

The next day, Kodos announces the result: "All hail, President Kang."

The field in front of the Capitol has now become a working ground where humans are whipped by aliens and used to carry materials.

The cinder block wall next to the Simpson's driveway is intact after Homer's ice cream truck crash.

Mr. Museum

It's a throwback to early, very early, Polaroids - the prints were wet and people waved them around to dry them faster.

Was that in the days that the picture didn't pop out the front, but you had to pull it out from the side?

I got you beat. I found an old Polaroid 220 at a flea market.

That I don't remember. With the earliest Polaroid I owned, we had to coat prints as soon as they popped out from the camera (to fix them, IRRC).
