Upcoming Episodes plus STUFF for "The Wandering Juvie" (FABF11)

4/4 - DOUBLE FEATURE -------------------- 8:00 - My Big Fat Geek Wedding (FABF12) Matt Groening guest voices as himself (appearing at a comic book convention) as Mrs. Krabappel breaks off her engagement with Principal Skinner, and despite (or is that "because of") Homer's best attempts to get them back together, there's a new guy in Edna's life...I'll give you a hint: it's not called My "Big Fat Geek" Wedding just because it sounds like another title

8:30 - Diatribe of a Mad Housewife (FABF05) Springfield has a new best-selling author: Marge, who writes a story about a woman (based on Marge) stuck in a marriage with an oaf (based on Homer) who longs to be in the arms of someone else (based on Ned)

REVIEW: C-plus - I'd like to say that this episode went nowhere fast,
        so it could be finished in a hurry, but once Bart got
        arrested, it felt like everybody was taking their time with
        this one, and the whole escape story seemed to drag on,
        probably because they didn't really do anything with Bart and
        Gina until the ending, which was pretty much predictable as
        they weren't about to have Bart serving a long stretch in
        juvenile hall.

REFERENCES "The Wandering Jew" (title) "White Wedding" (heard when Bart is "registering" gifts) "Do the Bartman" (Bart says it to Gina) "Family Guy" (Gina calls Bart one)

DYNs
...there are four scanning guns, yet apparently only one couple's
   registry can be scanned at a time?
...the mirrorball was heavier than Bart and Gina combined?
   (Otherwise it wouldn't have pulled them all the way up)
...the bald juvie sounded just like Jimbo (but looked nothing like
   him)?
...the warden sounds like Duke Philips from "The Critic"?  (There's a
   reason for that; both are Charles Napier's own voice)
...Laurel and Hardy (in striped prison clothes) were in line at the
   blacksmith?
...nobody appeared to get older in the 5 1/2 months Bart was in
   juvenile hall?  (He escaped two weeks before his six-month
   sentence ended; you would think Maggie would have shown some
   growth between before Bart was sentenced and the dinner scene at
   the end, or at least some in-joke reference about it)
MAGGIE ALERT
...Maggie patted Marge when Lisa told Marge how good of a mother she
   was to Bart?

GOOFS / FREEZE FRAME / WHATNOT When Homer's shoelaces got caught in the elevator, either they should have tried to pull Homer's shoes in, or they should have jammed the escalator.

How did anybody know where and when the wedding was? It wasn't on the invitations.

The tent shouldn't have bulged in and out like it did, especially as it wasn't totally sealed at the bottom. (Everybody collapsing can be explained as a mass hysteria fit.) [You can cancel that "It's called 'A JOKE'" reply; I realize that. You can also cancel the "So why did you mention it?" reply.]

There is qutie a bit of distance from the window Bart and Gina fall from to the fence, and they fall pretty much straight down, so they should not have landed on the other side.

OOPS - there's been a change in the schedule (it may have something to do with Fox also scheduling two "King Of The Hill" repeats that night)

4/4 - DOUBLE FEATURE -------------------- 8:00 - Margical History Tour (FABF06) A shortage of books at the library doesn't stop the kids from learning, thanks to Marge and her tales of history, with Homer as Henry VIII, Lisa as Sacagawea (with Lenny and Carl as Lewis and Clark), and Bart as the young Mozart

8:30 - Diatribe of a Mad Housewife (FABF05) Springfield has a new best-selling author: Marge, who writes a story about a woman (based on Marge) stuck in a marriage with an oaf (based on Homer) who longs to be in the arms of someone else (based on Ned)

Yeah, probably... especially since Frink's said he's married on previous occasions.

Still, I think Frink would be much funnier...

-AG

And we've seen his son once or twice. Damn, how pathetic is it that *Frink* gets more action than me? Then again, he has a steady job. And a *flying* car. How many chicks could you pick up in one of them?

And of course, there's no precedent on the show to have a flashback wedding, now, is there?

Don't overlook the fact that he's a professor, either. I have no idea why this is the case, but stick the word "Professor" in front of your last name and your attractiveness jumps five-fold to women.

-Professor AG, thinking that he might be on to something

name

--------- I thought it was the other way around.

It helps to be a wealthy genius too, like Stephen Hawking.

"Archibald Gibroni" wrote in message news:[email]...

He's probably divorced, though, since he was at the bachelor auction in "The Two Mrs. Nassa-passa-no, just Moe," and was having sex with a robot in the one where Homer takes over the power plant. His wife probably didn't take too kindly to his sending their son flying out a window in "Brother, Can You Spare Two Dimes?". The woman he tells to meet him at the Cyclotron in "Grampa vs. Sexual Inadequacy" might or might not be his (ex?)wife.

Hmm, so the new man had previously slept with her ex-boyfriend's mother. Zing! Poor Seymour is losing all the women in his life to CBG.
