Also, she's playing it on a toy xylphone with only one row of
bars.  It doesn't have the second row of bars (corresponding to
the black keys on the piano) necessary to play Dance of the
Sugar Plum Fairy.  Just like Shroeder manages to play all
those complicated pieces on his piano without any
black keys.  (No, I don't think this reference was intentional,
but it's still there.)

     I have been mulling over this question the past week, and I believe I have
come up with a possible explanation.  Perhaps the staff of the show has used the
written word `Jumsheed` to name the child, but in reality, when spoken with a
`foreign` accent, it sounds like `Dumbshit`.  That way, if the T.V. Police
started to hassle them, they could refer them to the written script and prove
that the censors "must be hearing things".

	On Monday October 12, an episode of the simpsons was broadcast on CTV
in Montreal.  In this episode Homer decided to stop going to church but after
a fire in his home he regains his faith.  I this episode the first one from
the new production company.  If so the deiference is very visible in the

Of course, this is just MHO, but...

The RenandStimpyification of The Simposons is evil! If people want to watch
the rapid cuts, inane plots and crashbang action of Ren & Stimpy, let them
watch Ren & Stimpy.  Lisa the Beauty Queen had way too much of it. I say
they go back to the kinder, mellower Simpsons, where characters stayed in
character, the plot followed some sort of reasonable progression, and
we all had a good laugh.

That's all.

Well, here in the US (at least -my- part of the US  :-) there
was a voiceover talking about upcoming FOX network shows...

Almost like the OFF crew was making a double comment on the
way local stations do voiceovers during the end credits, esp.
irritating when there something going on (a song, etc) during
that time...

Dunno what the Canadians got (probably got -the- meaning to
life, just like they got a blackboard and (better) couch) at

and have received a couple correction flames about it not licking it's

haven't seen 9f01 yet (it'll be broadcast tonight), as the station which
carries the Simpsons up here, CITV, dropped a week behind due to a
repeat of "Jacques to be Wild". But, anyway, I'm just sending a post

Amber was mentioned again; while Lisa was being crowned they panned to
the edge of the crowd and a reporter asked the doctor how Amber was
doing.  He said she was doing fine and had already won "Little Miss

    Just like Kent Brockman is the only news person, Mayor Quimby is the

convience store clerk, Dr. Hibbert is the only doctor, Rev. Lovejoy is
the only priest, Principal Skinner is the only Principal, Burns is the

    The point is that the Simpsons only needs one of each kind of person

I've only seen one other post that didn't think it was Franklin, but rather
J.S. Bach.  That was my impression, too.  There was even some classical
music playing.  If it was Bach, the connection is easy.  I haven't got

Also, in the same episode, Maggie shows more musical talent.  It was during
one of the numbers in the musical (I forget which song, though), she sucks
on her pacifier along with the beat.  I think she is a budding musical
prodigy.

I also enjoyed the fact that when Homer went to pick up Maggie, she had a

I liked this episode.  It's not an all-time classic, but it had me
laughing throughout.

One thing I noticed, but don't have a VCR to verify:

God's right hand appeared to have 4 fingers in the beginning
of the dream.  Later on, his hand (I forget which one), appeared
to have 5 fingers.  Any confirmation from the freeze frame folks?
