    Interesting idea to make an episode a followup or new angle on an old one. But I didn't really get into it, somehow. Homer's story (about sex and productivity) - a little reminiscent of Seinfeld's "The Abstinence" as an example - was more interesting to me. As for Kamp Krusty, I'm a little unclear on whether the trip to Tijuana was supposed to have really happened (the fact that Krusty drove the kids home himself seems to suggest it did but then why were the kids still unhappy?), and why the reference to season 4 (the 1992 episode) was made the way it was when this clearly happened in the present. Also not thrilled at all about the incredibly short length or the way that the executive producer credits moved. Ugh.
    DYN:
    ...the eye on a dollar bill also "lights up" in the dark?
    ...Homer says "masturbate", among other adult topics that surely made this TV-14-DLSV?
    ...the classic brain-damaged = watching Fox ending?
    Previous episode stuff
    8F24: Obviously the original Kamp Krusty episode is referred to (and its seasonal placement is mentioned, not only the 4th air season, but the fact that
    an "est" might happen in season 52, which would be another 24 seasons away - though by episode count it would probably run over to season 53), and the KK camp song is heard in a few tiny snippets, and apart from the fact that it was poorly run that's about all that's really the same
    7F23: Homer and SNPP's infrequently-used suggestion box
    9F18: That same Barry White song, or at least a takeoff on it (I'm not sure offhand if it's the real one)
