In "Moe Baby Blues," Larry and Sam (the barflies) were at the botanical gardens. I don't think they've shown them much recently.

On the other hand, Nelson's dad has appeared before (in "Brother From the Same Planet" and "Bart Starr"), and he didn't look Nelson's hallucination tonight. Maybe it's been so long since Nelson's seen his dad that he doesn't remember what he looks like, or one of the dads was actually a stepfather or something.

both of these were in Old Yeller Belly three weeks back. Before that, Martin was in Special Edna at the start of the season, but I believe this was Dave Shutton's first appearance since Who Shot Mr Burns....

he was in Brake My Wife Please two weeks back, then before that C.E.D'oh a couple of months back (in which he had a fairly substantial role).

I believe he last spoke in Saddlesore Galactica back in season 11, in early 2000.

I'm quite scared to discover that I remember all of this shit.......

Actually,,Martins last speaking role was in the 300th ep but it seems like theyre replacing him with database.
