• Notes for VABF03 (The Girl Code) and TABF03 (I Won't Be Home forChristm

    Rather enjoyed. Interesting as usual to see Selman EPed an episode and think "well that makes sense". Liked both plots, both guest stars, and the lack of general ridiculousness (and funny gags throughout). Not too weighty, just fun. Really short post.
    DYN:
    ...a rare real photo makes an appearance (of Elizabeth Warren)?
    ...a few possible line replacements (Marge on glue soak-through, Homer before deus ex machina)?
    ...Lisa's blue hair spray (and its placement) and blue-ish shirt make her look at a glance a tad more like Maggie?
    ...I don't play it, but the coding/building montage looks like it might be a Simpsons Tapped Out reference of some sort?
    Previous episode stuff
    2F10: Homer's job at the bowling alley also seemed to let him excel by just doing menial cleaning (and there is also a fun musical scene to go with it) 5F09: I wonder now if Conrad's "wankers" will be edited in the UK
    I Won't Be Home for Christmas
    The first 2 airings of TABF03, December 2014, had 18-second promos for "The Man
    Who Came to Be Dinner" (RABF15) between the final act and the credits. The airing on 12/27/15, however, though it was otherwise the same, changed that promo out for a completely different (and longer) one, 32 seconds, with 3 short
    clips of upcoming episodes. First there was text: "Coming in January".
    Then clips of "THE GIRLCODE" (sic), "TEENAGE MUTANT / MILK-CAUSED HURDLES", and
    "MUCH APU / ABOUT SOMETHING", each about 10 seconds, with the episode titles briefly flashed at the bottom of the screen. So... that answers my question about how that episode would handle the promo after RABF15 had finally aired. I
    don't think I like the answer. But at least I have it recorded...

    Coding/building montage was from the HBO series "Silicon Valley"
    Thanks for posting, I enjoy reading your posts.
