Just to rub yer noses in it a bit...
The local Canadian station that shows the Simpson's is broadcasting a full
hour each week.  That's the new one (when there is one) an a repeat. Perhaps
other stations are doing this as well.

The repeat last night was 'When Flanders Failed'.  BTW during the CFL draft
which homer is watching, the announcer claims that the Saskatchewan Rough-
Riders scored only seven 'rouges' last year.  There are no such thing as 
rouges in the CFL.  The rules aren't that much different from the NFL.

It's in Colorado.  Springfield must be in a state that has a point common
with 3 other states.  Only 4 states count - Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and
New Mexico.  Of these 4 states, only Colorado has a Springfield.  And
more evidence, in the same part of the state that Springfield is in,
there is a town called Simpson.

This part of the show just made the local news. An apology was given
to New Orleans.

Here in Denver, the Fox affiliate has been using Homer's line:
"Woo, Hoo, Denver, Yeah!" from the Super Bowl episode. I guess the
New Orleans affiliate will not be using this song for promotion.

  I've only seen this episode only once so maybe my opinion of it isn't
truly fair but I did not like it. In fact it was 'mmmm boring'. Somebody
might even call it the worst Simpson's episode ever. I said 'somebody',
which is not necessarily me! I suppose that if I had seen A.S.N.D. then
perhaps I would have found it amusing.
  Funny bits: Maggie eating the Bart doll, Great Escape ref.
  After what Bart called one the judges, the world may have gotten just
a little bit scarier! With what he said in this episode and with what
one of the Kamp Krusty goons said in last weeks episode it looks like
language this season is anything goes.

I was disappointed by this episode.  "Oh, Streetcar" _was_ a funny
idea, but the execution seemed to lack real comedic inspiration.  I
think we Simpsons fans could supply some humor that was really just
missing -- for us, the idea of Apu and Chief Wiggum in a musical was a
kick.  But in retrospect, I got more pleasure in anticipating this
episode than in watching it...

Does anyone remember the "Get a Life" episode in which Chris appears
in a local amateur theatrical production called something like "Zoo
Animals on Wheels"?  It was a wonderful parody of Andrew Lloyd Weber
shows like "Cats" and "Starlight Express" etc.  Now _that_ was sharp
satire as well as completely loony.  "Oh, Streetcar" was loony, but it
sadly lacked the satiric edge the really great Simpsons episode have.

I don't think the Simpsons is is an original concept, and Dinosaurs most
definately is not. They are all variations of the Honeymooners, and THAT
might be taken from something even older. EVERYONE knows that the
Honeymooners was done as a cartoon - a little twist and you got the
Flintstones. Turn Fred, Wilma and the gang into reptiles and you get
Dinosaurs.

The Simpsons are great (though the animation kind of sucks lately). They
use the same basic 'formula' for a family (blue-collar dad, home-maker mom,
wise-ass kids), but what makes the Simpsons shine is the appeal to sheer
intelligence. The literary references with dialog, visuals, etc. (I loved
the pig's head on a stick in Kamp Krusty).

I don't think there is any point in arguing over who originated what.
What's important is how well something is done and how much you enjoy it.
For example, I hate when songs are covered by pop artists. 99% of the time
they suck compared to the original, but sometimes (like the beatles) the
re-make can be better (IMHO). And, hey, there's nothing wrong with liking
both   B^)

I'm no football fan, but there are quite a few differences between CFL and NFL
rules, one of them being that a team is rewarded with a single point on a missed
field goal if the opposition fails to run it out of the end zone.  I believe   
this is called a rouge.

I'm sure the writer's racked their brains to come up with the most
excruciatingly boring television show imaginable.  I can't think of anything
more tedious than watching the CFL draft - it's perfect.

There was another humorous poke at the CFL in "Lisa the Greek", when Lisa goes
to the library to do some research on football.  As she thumbs through the card
index we hear her reading the titles to herself:  "Football, homo-eroticism in;
Football, oddball Canadian rules...."

Some of us who followed all of the references also thought that this episode
sucked.  As someone I know is fond of saying, that's why they make chocolate
and vanilla.  It's been really interesting watching the reviews the past 
couple of weeks, because there seemed to be a lot of complaining about Kamp
Krusty, which I thought hilarious, and a lot of praise for Streetcar, which
I thought was very dull.  Oh, well, to each his own.

By the way, did anyone else think that Troy MacClure (one of my favorite bit
parts) did not sound like himself in this episode?

Oh Boy, you should see some of the crap we have to content with in
Australia :: `The Simpsons' sliced bread, Pasta, scented toothbrushes,
`Bart Simpson Clear Cola', Halloween masks (in Australia? get real!),
Digital watches, punching bags, blah blah blah.  That's just the

a picture of Bart, plastic coffee cups, chocolate bars, party napkins,
and student diaries (with phone numbers in the back for advice on
contraception, drugs, AIDS, rape, et al).

Maybe deservedly, most of the suppliers had their fingers severely
burnt when they overestimated the popularity of junk with little
actual relevance to the show,, Now there's a world-wide glut of crappy
Simpsons merchandising that will be floating around for years to
come..

A friend who attended the Melbourne trade show last week reported to
me in private email on the uncountably infinite amount of `Bart
Simpson' (I use the term loosely) stuff vendors were trying to flog
off.  Hardly any of it pertained to the half-hour show .. for example,
hundred of different crudely drawn posters of Bart using the word
``Dude'', when it's has only been mentioned twice in ~67 episodes.
People could be forgiven into thinking that was his every second word.

Worst of all, there has not been *one* item of Lisa .. :(

(Well, not exactly true.. Over a year ago I saw a greetings card with
her saying ``Overachiever -- and damned proud of it.''  But at $2.16 a
card I gave it a miss.)
