I have heard it mentioned several times here that Liz Taylor will
be doing the voice of Maggie when she speaks.

My wife told me that she saw something on an "entertainment info"
spot on TV that several people have read for the part.  Two mentioned
were Liz and Whoopie Goldberg.

In my wife's opinion, both would be suitable.  While Liz could do
a voice that could be described as the "sister of Lisa", Whoopie
could do a voice that could be described as the "daughter/niece of
Marge/Patty/Selma".

Subject: Lorne Michaels in '66 ?
Date: 10 Oct 92 22:55:51 GMT
Organization: Virginia Tech Computer Science Dept, Blacksburg, VA


   As an SNL fan, I found the "Interview With Lorne Michaels" that Homer
(at first) found so interesting in Playdude to be a nifty reference.  How-
ever, that was until I noticed that the issue Homer was reading was printed
in 1966.  The first episode of SNL didn't appear until the mid/late '70s
(75?  78?  Someone out there will get this...).  So how likely is it that
a magazine would be doing an interview with him back then?  Or did Lorne
do something else back then that was also in the "public eye" (i.e., was
he publicly famous before SNL?)?

   Freeze Frame Note : In the scene with the fire truck, one sequence shows
a side view of the truck zooming past...this is where we see Otto hanging
on for dear life.  Anyway, just before the scene reverts to a rear view,
the door to an apartment is shown...the number above the door is something
like "8463" or a similar 4-digit number.  Surely there's no significance
to this?!  :)
   Another note : Right before Reverend Lovejoy whacks the flower arrange-
ment next to him with his arm, does it look like the microphone in front
of him turns white (as if it wasn't colored in for that frame) for a split
second?  
   Later.

	Ah, finally something for me to post about!
	This episode has the return of Homer's car--a cross between a Trabant 
and mid-70s Oldsmobile.  Did not really get a good look at Marge's car, but I 
think its probably the same kind with a differnt color.
	Flander's Station wagon was not very detailed, but the vertical dual 
headlamps and pointed fender front suggests that its a late 1970s Ford or 
Chrysler (most likely a 1979 LTD II or 1978 Town & Country).  Most likely the 
latter since Chrysler was big on the plastic woodgrain edging.
	For the "does anybody really care?" department.  Toyota started 
exporting cars to the U.S. around 1958, the car from Japan mentioned in 
"Playdude" is probably a Datsun.

Perhaps this is MG's "Ode to Stimpy".  As you know, Stimpy (of Ren and 
Stimpy fame) has a tongue that's always hanging out.  As we know, MG has
said that R&S is one of his favorite cartoons (not counting the Simpsons,
which he of course created.)

[Smiley ON]

I think they really are going to kill Homer off; imagine all the possibilities
that will offer for future episodes:  Marge having to work full time, Bart's
even further decline now that what little father figure he had has gone, the
traumatic effect all this will have on Lisa...

And of course it will be a great opportunity to annoy Republicans by making
the Simpsons less of a "traditional" family; will Maggie be forever scarred
having Bart as her only male role-model?

And what a publicity thing this will be!  Remember what a big deal they made
when they killed off a cast member on 90210?  (Like you, I only know about
that because of the endless commercials for that show during the
Simpsons...)  And they didn't even kill off a major character (I mean one
with side-burns (is a side-Burns a Smithers?)).  Or what about Superman's
current demise?  If the Man of Steel can die, why not Homer?

Naturally, Homer will come back to life in some future episode -- they could
do an excellent Sherlock Holmes reference here.  Meanwhile, it will be like
the death of Bill the Cat:  we can run Homer for president, and generally
go around wearing "Homer Lives!" T-shirts.

Or even better yet:  they could make a big deal, killing Homer off, having
a funeral, and the whole traumatic deal, and then just forget all about it
next episode, and go on as usual, Homer quite alive, and no mention of his
death.  Yeah, that's the way they'll do it...

One of the funniest things about "Homer the Heretic", IMHO,
was the use of "Rise and Shine". That song that the Flanders 
kept singing to Homer brought back memories of summer camp
when I was ten years old. We sang that song every single day.
It had a seemingly endless supply of verses and went on forever.

In any case, the way Homer kept getting interrupted with
their singing really hit my funnybone.....I just wish I could
remember more of those verses from when I was a kid:

"The animals, they came by twos-ee, twos-ee, twos-ee
The animals, they came by two-see, twos-ee, twos-ee
Big giraffes and {clap} kangaroos-ee, roos-ee

Don't know why you saw the 'short, crappy version', and this is not
the first time that has happened.

Global is a small network (pretty much restricted to Ontario, even
just 'southern' Ontario) not affiliated with any other network,
Canadian (CBC, CTV) or American. They do, however, buy a lot of FOX
programs including The Simpsons and Married...With Children.

As for "defaming New Orleans". Is this a reference to Jim McMahon at
the Super Bowl a few years ago (didn't he call New Orleans women sluts
or something?) or is this a reference to something more recent I have
missed?

Well I just read in this weeks TV Guide another story (first one I heard

really surprised me. It said that the Krusty show would be a live action
spinoff of the cartoon!  I'm less optomistic that I was before about
this. I guess if it's live action, they'll cut to Itchy and Scratchy
cartoons often. They didn't say anything in TVG about it being a talk
show. I suspect it'll be a lot like WGN's Bozo show. <shudder>

Now, there's no way you can sue someone over the fact that you've inadvertently

I thought I try the review/comment thingy (my first ever) until I
actually get to tape the episode this Sunday.  (Us Winnipegers have to
wait until Sunday to get a good reception or suffer through a FOX
station's weak broadcast coming out of North Dakota.)
 
Overall, I enjoyed the episode, but didn't care for the storyplot--it was
the little unexpected things (that happen in very rapid succession) that
made my evening:
 
  Like when Apu reached down, behind the counter, I thought he was going
  to pull out a weapon, instead he produced the little boy (did anyone
  catch his name?).  And yet another surprise when the boy produced the
  weapon and the looks on Jimbo, Kerny and Dolph's faces when he cocked
  it? (Ah, there's nothing like the sound of a shotgun being cocked to
  chill the hearts of young thugs everywhere >;)
 
  And the whole Ned rescuing Homer bit; vaudeville slapstick at it's
  best.  (IMHO has anyone notice `The Three Stooges' skit from the first
  ACT was the exact thing to put us in the mood for such scenes?)
 
  Marge's mimicking the sound of the car's cold engine that wouldn't
  start.
 
I did notice a definite change in the animation.  (Who hasn't?) it
reminded me a lot of first season's animation.
 
 
DYN: Jimi Hendrix & Benjamin Franklin playing ping-pong (obvious)
 
Fave Quotes:  ``Miracles are your department, Reverend!'' - Willie
              ``Why are you dedicating your life to blasphemy?'' - Lisa
              ``Dadddddy! The heathen's getting away!'' - Todd
 
Animation Goof: Homer's two strands of hair caught on fire and burnt up
                yet appear okay later on. (obvious in my opinion.)
 
                               this?)
            - Aliens-SBII (facehunger) on Krusty's face (Okay, probably
                           unintentional)
            - 70s cop show music playing in background during Flander
              family/Homer car chase.
 
Observations: The car chase ended with Homer landing his car on a barge
              headed for *AN ISLAND*! (Think about it.)
 
              The various cliches how the housefire started and spread.
