• Notes for YABF08 (I Want You (She's So Heavy))

    A middling concept with a little promise but bad execution and awful awful gags. (Most of them were just bad, but why follow up Homer's impossible bathing-suit-drop gag with a shot showing them immediately back in place??) Very short. Wallace Shawn is
    nice to see.

    Oh, and as far as the couch gag goes: the couch HAS been replaced since 1989! It was rather promimently replaced in 1992 in 8F23. Way to go.

    Previous episode stuff
    9F07: Mr. Plow in cloud opening
    CABF12: Dr. D.R. Heffernan gag a lot like Lt. L.T. Smash
    3AJN22: Marge's wagon of snacks contains Wheat Thicks (oh wait, that's a previous episode of American Dad!)

    Dedication time
    Luke Perry died fairly young during the week, and before the Gracie logo is a quick dedication to him with a still from 9F19. A fond farewell.

    And finally
    For anyone keeping track, this dumb Nascar race ended before 7 but coverage ran
    for a while after. At about 7:13 we got the 32-second abbreviated NABF21 opening, and at 7:15 the repeat of YABF03 was joined in progress, with about a minute to go in the
    current act. It's been a little while since this has happened!
