Actually...some of the gags reminded me, (let me stress REMINDED me), of some Futurama gags. -In Futurama; the virtual Lincoln on the Holodeck. -Homer being on the tv show remind me of Futurama's "Bender Should Not Be Allowed on TV" when Bender became a hit.

well, you know what they say (e.g. in the 2ACV07 commentary), Lincoln is just hilarious!

hehe...FART! (this reminds me of Dave Barry's column about fish flatulence last week; it was called F.R.T. by scientists, for Fast Repetitive Tick)

Are you referring to "Bender Should Not Be Allowed on TV"?...where they form the group "F.A.R.T." - Father's Against Rude Telvision....

Did anyone notice the giant digital clock display on the roof...I would think that in 1963, I giant clock would be an analog clock. Is this implying that because Homer saved Lincoln, that he effected the time/space continuum, thus giant digital displays existed in 1963? (At least in his fantasy world, I mean.)

That's what was on the roof of the Texas Schoolbook Depository back then. In real life. It was a giant digital clock that was put up there by Hertz (their sign was on the left).

Speaking of historical inaccuracies, there was another couple in the booth with Abe and Mary Todd.

Ok...wasn't sure... BTW...I wonder how Homer imagined himself going back in time to help Lincoln..and how Lincoln helped him in the future? The toaster time machine?

Homer must be a big JFK fan. In the Halloween episode he said something about this being for JFK as he whacked the Grim Reaper.

But not historically accurate, afaik. There was nothing in the Warren Commission report about Homer and Lincoln stopping Lee Harvey Oswald.

When Homer and Abe (Lincoln, not Simpson) were beating up Lee Harvey Oswald, was that supposed to be a spoof of the scene in "Goodfellas" where Jimmy Conway (De Niro) and Tommy De Vito (Pesci) beat up Bill Batts (Frank Vincent)? Maybe not. In the era of the Internet (is that thing still around), with the electronic proliferation of popular culture, the most mundane moment in one movie/TV show/etc., winds up being compared to another mundane moment in another movie/TV show/etc.

Fat Tony and Kang & Kodos should have been in that sequence too since we know that JFK was killed on the instigation of the mob, the communists and the inner circle of the CIA to cover up his knowledge of the existence of extraterrestial visitors (Roswell, Hangar 51 etc.)

Youre all wrong! Joe DiMaggio killed JFK for having an affair with Marilyn Monroe!

The Red Dwarf theory is the best one I heard. The crew travels back in time and acidentally knocks Lee Harvey Oswald out of the window. In order to correct this since their future isn't there anymore, they travel forward in time and get the future JFK to be the second gunman on the grassey knoll. As Lister says, It'll drive all the conspiracy buffs crazy, but they'll never figure it out...
