This may be the third of 3 school-centric episodes in a row, but it seemed to work. It doesn't hurt, these days, to have things in a new setting, especially apart from "The Simpsons are going to..." or an anthology episode. I was a little unsure how it would go, based on the synopsis - the school story's been done, but I rather enjoyed Homer and Marge's little tryst, and it helped that it worked in a light way. (Since their apartment was apparently 50 square feet, I was guessing that the end would actually just be constructing a model of it in their bedroom! It could actually work, sort of.) I see Ellen Page ("Juno") in the credits, presumably as Alaska Nebraska - I wonder why no silly star-power promo for that.
INTRO NOTES Crow: right to left (Nothing else, straight to driveway) TV: doesn't fall off, despite usual music
DYN: ...the show Homer's watching when he meets his new pals is just two still frames alternating? ...Fat Tony has no lines? ...the "Go, Dog, Go" cover seems to be on the back? (This may not be a goof - I've seen many children's books with the identical image on front and back, but usually the square paperbacks the size of a 45.)
Previous episode references 2F15: Desks stacked three high at SES (and only about a year to go until we pass that episode's time frame!) 2F03: Kids crammed into room at SES much like overcrowded detention 3F23: Bart and Lisa at another school (among other similar ideas) 1F13: Homer, "hitting on" Marge, says he was an astronaut for a short time 1F20: Homer wanting Marge's gift now reminiscent of "I want the children to see"
