Sorry to disappoint you Phil, but it's not random characters.  If you
have freeze-frame slow-mo on your VCR you can easily do a frame
by frame advance on see the price very clearly.  Memory recalls it
as $182.50 or something like that.  This is in the FAQ list.

It's really neat to go frame by frame through the whole opening 
sequence.  You see tons of stuff you've never seen before.  Practically
every character that's ever been on The Simpsons is in there somewhere!

I thought the two commercials for Mr. Plow were hilarious.  The first one, 
on Channel 92 at 3:13 A.M. (or some such time), was homebrew 
commercial-making at its best/worst, especially with Bart ad libbing and 
Homer getting mad at him (and again at home).  And then the 
professionally-produced one, that made absolutely no sense.  Were they 
imitating Infiniti commercials, or Calvin Klein's Obsession?  Not even Homer 
was sure if that was really his ad.

BTW, DYN: When everybody was standing around in the snow, Marge had Maggie 
bundled up in so many layers of snow wear that she looked like a starfish.  
She couldn't move a muscle.

I thought it was repeated in a full-length episode too.  I haven't seen
many of the TUS shorts, and I vaguely remember that scene... Uncle Sam
or somebody says, "It's your fault America has lost its way..." etc.

And don't forget the scene in the "Flaming Homer" episode, when Homer
has his fantasy that he is surrounded by Moes.  The scene starts at the
dinner table, with everyone saying phrases with the word "Moe" in it
(Bart: "Guess it's time to go - moe - the lawn...").  At the end of the
scene, Maggie takes out her pacifier and says a single word: "Moe."

Of course, this is only Homer's delusion, so I guess it doesn't
count as Maggie's real first word...

Yes, they also gave Kent rather silvery hair, as I remember, which he
doesn't normally have.  And his face does the same things as Cronkites.  He
checks something down to his right (the wire?) pauses a moment (Cronkite
later said he was holding back tears) and then pulls off his glasses and
says the news.

The used car that Homer was looking at in Mr. Plow looked suspiciously
like the eastern-block(?) car that the rock band U2 used in their music
video for the song "The Fly". This seems even more likely because of the
fly in the middle of the steering wheel and on the hood ornament if I

Summary: USA! USA! Woohoo!

=x= Okay, here's a trivia question for ya . . .

=x= In _Itchy_&_Scratchy_The_Movie_, when Marge resigns herself
to dealing with Bart's teacher (leaving Homer to deal with
Lisa's teacher), Homer responds with an obnoxious "USA!  USA!
Woohoo!," honking the horn and blinking the headlights.

=x= It is my contention that the headlights blink because his
honking the horn causes the lights to dim out.  I've known a
number of fine American cars (and one Audi) that have had this
"feature."  My friends think that Homer is both honking the
horn and flashing the lights.

=x= I don't have a VCR that I can check this with.  Basically,
if the lights go out with every honk, I think that means I'm
right.  Can somebody check?

=x= Also, I remember (1) Homer shouting "USA!  USA!" once
before, and (2) the horn-honking/headlight-blinking activity
once before . . . but I don't remember if they went together.
Does anyone else know?

=x= (To folks living outside the U.S.:  Shouting "USA!  USA!"
is a typical mindless thing one sees at sporting events.  I
think it really got prominent during the 1984 Olympics.
It is something a Homer would do.)                         .--.

This may have been mentioned before, but if it was, I missed it, so I will 
apologize in advance for repeating it.

There was an episode of "Herman's Head" where Louise (Yeardley Smith) was 
complaining that everybody who spoke to her on the phone mentioned that she 
sounded like Lisa Simpson.  Nobody on the show thought that there was even a 
remote resemblance.  I just thought it was a funny meta-reference (especially 
since Hank Azaria also appears on HH.)

BTW, what other shows have Yeardley Smith and Hank Azaria done?  Not 
necessarily together.

I can confirm that: in French, "Le Salaire de la Peur", starring Yves Montand
and Charles Boyer. Great stuff (but Homer is even better).

In one of the TUS shorts, Maggie did speak.  I believe it was the episode 
where Bart has a nightmare and is blamed for a whole bunch of things by
every member of the family.  Maggie says (paraphrased), "It's your fault I

Did anybody see the ads that Fox was running for "Mr. Plow?"  They showed an 
aerial (sp?) view of Homer in his plow, spelling out the "The Simpsons" logo 
in the snow, making a curl at the end of the last "s", running into a tree,
and yelling "D'oh!"  I thought it was great, because it wasn't a scene from 
the episode, but done just for the ads.
