  • Notes for WABF20 (The Old Blue Mayor She Ain't What She Used to Be)

    A step or two up from plain bad, but not that good. The kernel of the concept was nice, with Marge only gaining approval as mayor when she is mean to Homer, but the rest was just too silly. Also that monorail opener was a bit of a disgrace (and not a great tribute to the memory of Nimoy either). Extremely short, even with a full opening and long-ass couch gag. On the other hand, I like the continued barely-veiled references to the current Hitler administration.
    DYN:
    ...a "real" Wilhelm scream (as part of the episode, not an in-episode game or movie)?
    ...the flags at the debate are hung incorrectly, and the stripes are not correct?
    Previous episode stuff
    9F10: All the monorail stuff: the chant, the solar power, the wild-haired scientist, Nimoy
    7F07: Homer envisioned as a Thanksgiving parade balloon (compare Bart's)
