...Maggie asleep at the Pimento Grove? ...Moe at the Pimento Grove with Sam (one of the barflys)? ...Homer actually went to work for a change? ...OFF Did not bring Maggie along when they went to the gourge?

...In all Fox promos and in the TV Guide Synopsis, Waylon Smithers, Sr. was called Ernest K. Smithers.

[7F06]-Homer remembers the time he nearly jumped Springfield Gourge.

Review: The Mike Scully-era comes to an end with a rather average outing here that was not memorable nor horrible. Which might be a good way to sum up the Mike Scully era to some. At least we finally know why Smithers is gay. (C)

Homer fantasizes about Paul Newman, who says that he's telling Homer the same thing he told Redford: Not a Chance.

I am sick and tired of FOX squeezing out the credits just to promote next week's episode of the Simpsons and any other FOX programming; especially when something is going on. In this case Moe explaining his evidence. It's bad enough on a normal week since your taking credit away from the many people who work behind the scenes of the show (it's hard enough to have read them before considering how fast they went, but now it's near impossible unless you got a big TV), but it's even more annoying when it happens during a "bit". I doubt very much that the "punch line" to the joke was Moe saying "This sounds crazy right?". You would think FOX would have a little more respect for a show that has made the network millions of dollars...but then again this is FOX we are talking about. Unfortuneatly this credit squeezing crap has infected all the networks, and looks like something that is here to stay.

The credits played in full with no squeezing on my FOX network, so I would believe the problem would be with your local FOX channel.

Hmm, where do you two live? I'm down here in South Florida where the credits were squeezed out to promote crap right after the voice credits.

Well, I'm in Austin, Texas. They showed full screen credits all the way to the Gracie Films logo (at which point Homer was doing that yell as the person went "Shhh!") Very funny.

Okay, let's get this straightened out. Here's what I saw in Phoenix:

Voice actor credits in full screen, with voiceover of Moe talking about his clues. Gracie Films logo (Homer screams) 20th Century Fox logo (Homer screams louder) Fox promoting some crap, with the rest of the show's credits in a teeny-tiny panel on the right. The audio was for the promos.

Did anyone see anything different? Did any of the credits *after* the voice actors show in full screen?

Yep, that's what I saw. I reread the original post and he talks about squeezing right after the voice credits and thought Moe's rant was cutoff but it wasn't because Moe's rant is obviously over before the gracie films logo which was still in full screen and Homer is screeming at that point. So unless he saw squeezing before the gracie films logo this seems to have been a big misunderstanding.

I get the Rochester NY. local FOX network, and the credits were split for promos. Whats the problem?

You think you FOX viewers got screwed??? Certain GLOBAL affiliates, which I shall not name, cut away to split screen credits just as Moe pulled out the 6! Cut him off mid-sentence!!!
