Upcoming Episodes plus STUFF for "Mommie Beerest" (GABF01"

2/6 - SPECIAL TIME: After the Super Bowl (expected to end around
      10:00 PM Eastern, 7:00 Pacific, although the time is
      approximate) - Homer and Ned's Hail Mary Pass (GABF02)
    Homer's victory dance at a local carnival gets him hired as a
    professional victory dance choreographer, and eventually as the
    choreographer (with Ned's help) of the Super Bowl halftime show
* Note: the episode will air immediately after the game and the
  post-game show, not 30 minutes later (as it did in 1999 when Fox
  aired the premiere of "Family Guy" before the first Simpsons Super
  Bowl episode); the premiere of "American Dad" will be after the
  Simpsons episode

2/13 - Pranksta Rap (GABF03) When Bart sneaks out of the house to attend a concert by 50 Cent (who voices himself), he fakes a story about being kidnapped to cover it up

STUFF for "Mommie Beerest" (GABF01) ----------------------------------- Written by Michael Price Directed by Mark Kirkland CGI Supervisor: Chadd B. Cole Blackboard: none Couch: everything is made of sand; when everyone reaches the couch, it all collapses Also Starring: Tress MacNeille, Karl Wiedergott Overseas Animation: Rough Draft TV rating: TV-PG-L "Dedicated to the memory of Johnny Carson" (shot of Carson holding up a car)

REVIEW: C-plus - I'm sure the staff has a number of new ideas for
        episodes; unfortunately, they don't seem to have as many for
        endings ("let's reach into the pile, and pull out..."Homer
        thinks his marriage is in trouble, so he does something crazy
        at the end, and everything works out with Marge").  Also, they
        didn't go nearly as far as they could have with the pub idea;
        it was "hey, here's a scene in the pub, so now let's spend the
        rest of the episode working on the Homer Thinks Moe Is Getting
        Between Him And Marge angle".

DYN
...Lisa swallowed a sausage link whole?
...Moe has an old-style credit card device (the kind they only seem
   to use nowadays when they can't connect to the card authorization
   service?)
...the doors on the no-frills plane open outward?  (Most, if not all,
   jets have doors that open inward, pretty much to prevent what Homer
   did; the difference between the inside and outside air pressure
   prevents the door from opening inward)
...the "Nag & Weasel" wasn't converted back to "Moe's Tavern" at the
   end?
...nobody bothered to tell Moe that a British pint is 20 ounces?
   (For those of you outside the USA, here a pint is 16 ounces - among
   other things, this makes a USA quart less than a liter, and a USA
   gallon about 80% the size of a British one)
...Judge Snyder's VIZA card has the name "Judge S. Snyder", expiration
   date 5/1/2005, and number 4110 0122 3344 5590?
...did Homer swallow Marge's wedding ring with his first mouthful of
   popcorn?
...apparently, Fox didn't go to an outside company for the "Cards"
   movie clip?  (There was a CGI supervisor and five CGI artists
   credited, but no company name)

WHERE IS SPRINGFIELD THIS WEEK? In South America? Talk about a no-frills airline! (According to the screen on the plane, Aruba is northeast of Springfield)

GOOFS / FREEZE FRAME / WHATNOT "Dukes" and "Dames" sounds appropriate for restrooms, although technically they are two different ranks of nobility; a duke is the highest rank of the British nobility, while a dame is the female version of a knight, which is pretty much one step above "commoners". ("Dukes" and "Duchesses" would match, as would "Knights" and "Dames")

The roof managed to collapse completely around everybody in Moe's.

Lisa says to Homer, "You infer - I imply." She's correct; implying is done by the person doing the talking; inferring is done by the person doing the listening.

Chadd B. Cole was the CGI supervisor (for the "Cards" scene); presumably, this is the same Chadd B. Cole who has worked as visual effects supervisor/digital artist on a number of movies, including "Daredevil", and TV series, including "Xena: Warrior Princess".

LYRICS - Marge's pub song
(Marge) This place is a diamond, but it's trapped in the rough
(Moe) Yeah, well, the sign still says "Moe's", so enough of your guff
(Marge) Here's my new idea to sell both beer and grub
        We will turn this dive into a proper old-time British pub
(Moe, speaking: A British whaaaa?)
(Bart & Lisa) Darts and meat pies, and lager in pint glasses
(with Lenny & Carl) What a cheery way to get drunk off your asses!
(Moe, speaking: Hey, hold the phone - an English pub?  That just
        might work!)
(Everybody else:) In song!
(Moe) My bar could be British, instead of arm-pittish
      So why don't we all - aw, screw it

LYRICS - revised "Love Will Keep Us Together"
(Marge) Love - love will keep us together
(Homer) Think of me babe, whenever
        Some sweet-talkin' guy in a thong
        Hands you a bong
        Don't take a hit
        You just gotta be strong
(Marge) You better stop
(Homer) Cause I want a sandwich
(Marge) I said, stop
(Homer) Or maybe a Manwich

Wasn't it Rodney Dangerfield who faked the kidnapping last time?

But wasn't there also some reference to driving somewhere in or near California? Or was that two weeks ago?

Actually, it was, if you count the "Captain & Tenille" coda as part of the episode (as opposed to, say, an outtake).

I remember him putting it in his shirt pocket right before grabbing a handful of popcorn.

Ah, okay, then. I saw the CGI artists but didn't know if they were a part of the credits every week, or just this one.

I wouldn't count that, especially since it was actually an outtake from FABF10, which I remember seeing in the promo.

Yeah, but if they HAD concentrated on the pub, it might have been too much like previous "Moe remodels his bar" episodes.
