You're absolutely right! That plot is much simpler than
"the Simpsons go camping" and "Marge tries to censor Itchy &
Scratchy and then decides they're ok"!!	I-)

In the immortal words of Patty (or was it Selma) "Don't be stupid!!"
Some of the *best* episodes (and I *do* include 8F18) can be summed
up in three sentences or less.

All those subtle references/jokes that you don't catch the

Heard it on the radio.  I don't see Nickelodeon using Fox for their
most popular cartoon commodity, however.

I'm also skeptical about the quality of a Krusty the Klown show.  Then

On Thursday October 1, here in Canada, the Global Television Network
aired two episodes of the Simpsons.  After "Streetcar Named Marge" at
8pm, they aired "When Flanders Failed" (7F23) at 8:30.

Two observations I was wondering if anyone else noticed about this
episode:

1) It is stated by Flanders that one out of every nine people are left
   handed, yet so many of Homer's friends and acquaintences were
   left handed. (Moe, Barney, Burns,... and all the others that showed
   up at the shop --- yes, some were probably looking for gifts for a
   left handed friend, but still!)

2) At the end they all toasted Homer -- most with their right hand!

I believe the lyrics go something like:

I learned the truth at 17
That love was meant for beauty queens.
In high school, girls with clear skin smiled,
and married young men retired.

(chorus)
We all play the game, and when we dare, we cheat ourselves at solitare,
Inventing lovers on the phone, repenting of the lies untold (?), 
who call to say come dance with me, and murmur strange obscenities.
At 17...

My TV week says "a new episode is bound to contain lots of laughs on
two levels [only two!?], as the stage classic "A Streetcar Named Desire"
is turned into a musical local-theater production called "Oh Streetcar!"
More over, the pivotal role of troubled Southern belle Blanche DuBois
goes to none other than Marge Simpson."

I imagine Bart's `She can really fly!' is a ref to the hype
whenever there's a stage production of `Peter Pan' and the

I loved it too.  The whole idea of doing Streetcar as a musical in the
first place cracks me up.  And that closing number was completely loony.

The opening of the Miss American Girl pageant was hysterical, too.  The
song the contestants were singing was Janis Iain's (sp?) "At Seventeen,"
one of the most painfully confessional hymns to female teen-aged angst
ever recorded.  Fortunately, the pageant's script only called for the
first two lines (um, I think they're "I learned the truth at seventeen /
That life belongs to beauty queens..."), thus allowing the jolly 
interpretation we heard from the contestants.  Wish I could remember
the next few lines.  I just recall that the song's POV is that of an
utterly miserable, alienated adolescent.

Absolutely.  I laughed out loud during the whole scene.  

All in all, I thought the episode was average at first.  However, today
the episode is still with me for some strange reason.  The more I

This was definitely one of the best shows in quite a while.  Although
the "Streetcar" plot as nice (especially the upbeat ending in the land
"before the Superdome"), the star of the show had to be Maggie in the
"Ayn Rand School for Tots".

My favorite parts: the Frank-Lloyd Wright architecture, "Helping is
Futile", the "box" (a reference to Stalag 7 [?]), and the great rescue
of the pacifiers.  Also, even though I've never seen The Birds, the
sceen with all the babies sucking away was just so bizzarre it was
still funny.  Honorable mention has to include "The Fountainhead Diet"
(perhaps Ms. Sinclair is also trying to remove "the bottle within").
