STUFF for "The Seven-Beer Snitch" (GABF08) ------------------------------------------ Written by Bill Odenkirk Directed by Matthew Nastuk Blackboard: none Couch: A roasting spit comes out of the wall and through the couch, causing the couch to rotate over flames coming out of the floor Special Guest Voice: Frank Gehry, Joe Mantegna, Charles Napier Also Starring: Pamela Hayden, Tress MacNeille, Karl Wiedergott Overseas Animation: Akom TV Rating: TV-PG-DLV
REVIEW: B - the whole concert hall bit was lame, and the prison
sequences went through the motions, complete with another
"somebody gets saved at the last second" bit, but the Snowball
II subplot almost made up for it ("almost" because they never
do resolve it fully).REFERENCES "The Seven-Year Itch" (title) "Peanuts" (Snoopy on Marge's stationary; also, Santa's Little Helper flying a plane, similar to Snoopy's "Sopwith Camel") "Montgomery Ward's" (Homer's "Montgomery Warden" catalog) "Equus" (one of the Shelbyville plays)
DYNs ...Marge's hair catches fire in the couch opening? ...Chief Wiggum's book of laws also says that you may not tie an alligator to a fire hydrant, and something about television reporters throwing candy during a parade? ...Marge's letter to Frank Gehry actually has "ha ha heh heh heh" written where Marge laughs? ...the Snoopy on Marge's stationary is drawn on? ...it never occurred to Lisa that (a) Snowball II may be pregnant, or (b) the other owners may have had her first - remember, "this" Snowball II is actually Snowball V, and was given to Lisa by "the cat lady"? ...Springfield is a gas chamber state? ...Lisa sticks out her tongue - how many times do we see somebody's tongue on this show? ...Film Roman is "an IDT Entertainment Company"?
GOOFS / FREEZE FRAME / WHATNOT They played Beethoven's Fifth Symphony at the opening of the concert hall; similarly, it was played as the finale of the opening of San Francisco's Louise M. Davies Symphony Hall.
