12/18 - everybody in the USA runs out and buys The Simpsons Movie on DVD and Blu-Ray (those of you with HD-DVD that want your Hi-Def animated movie fix will just have to watch "Shrek the 3rd" again)
12/23 ** SPECIAL TIME: 7:00 ** Kill Gil, Volumes 1 & 2 (JABF01) After Gil is fired for giving the last hard-to-find Mailbu Stacy set to Lisa that the department store owner had set aside for his daughter, Gil is taken in by the Simpsons...and to say that he overstays his welcome is putting it mildly * Fox is airing "Spider-Man 2" starting at 7:30 that night
12/30 - I Don't Wanna Know Why the Caged Bird Sings (JABF19) Taken hostage in a bank robbery, Marge gets the robber to give himself up by promising to visit him in prison, but when she's too afraid to do it, he decides to help her - by escaping and seeking her out
1/6 - (I should know by tomorrow)
- Although 24's usual two-hour Sunday season premiere, scheduled for 1/13, has been delayed in part because of the WGA strike (Fox wants to make sure it can air the entire season without a break), Fox will air the first two episodes of "Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles" on 1/13 from 8:00 to 10:00. Note that Fox aired two Simpsons episodes at 7:00 and 7:30 last year when "24" started its season, but there is also a chance there will be an NFC playoff game on Fox that runs until 8:00 that day.
STUFF for "Eternal Moonshine of the Simpson Mind" (KABF02) ---------------------------------------------------------- Written by J. Stewart Burns Directed by Chuck Sheetz Chalkboard: THE CAPITAL OF MONTANA IS NOT "HANNAH" Couch: The couch scene pans out until it reaches intergalactic space, where the galaxies are replaced with atoms, which pan out until they reach Homer's head and then the couch scene again (repeat of FABF08 and GABF05, except that Homer says "weird" at the end) Also Starring: Tress MacNeille, Karl Wiedergott Overseas Animation: Rough Draft TV Rating: TV-PG-DSLV
REFERENCES 7G03 (Homer tries to jump off a bridge) "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" (title) "Ice Age" (animal going after an acorn) Viewmaster (Deja Viewmaster) "Remembrance of Things Past" (Remembrance of Things Fast) The "Love" statue (one of the sculptures Homer knocked over) Miller High Life ("the champagne of bottled beers", just as Duff Champagne is "the beer of champagnes")
DYN ...the animal going after the acorn sounds like Itchy? ...Lindsay Nagel drives a VW Beetle? ...the Simpsons have a deadbolt lock on the front door? ...the pregnancy test had a smiley face? ...Lisa enjoyed knocking over the sculptures? ...Homer, Bart, and Lisa knock over sculptures of Snoopy, a peace sign, the Philadelphia "Love" statue, President Lincoln's head, the Kool-Aid "man," and bowling pins?
GOOFS / FREEZE FRAME / WHATNOT Lisa and Bart's coats, mittens, and boots disappear once they get into Homer's bubble and travel into his past.
The deadbolt lock on the door when Homer opens it was not there when Chief Wiggum opened it the previous night.
At least one of Homer's "memories" (Bart in Sunday school) was of an event where he was not there; in fact, one was from a Halloween Special (Martin dreaming he is conjugating Latin verbs).
The snow disappeared when Homer landed on the boat.
How did Patty and Selma get on the boat, if they pushed him off of the bridge?
