Funny how this aired almost right before the premiere of this updated Cosmos show (itself an interesting inclusion in the Sunday lineup), almost as if to mock the idea of science. Well, it is an interesting Sideshow Bob episode, even if quite a crazy fantasy. The sex ed plot was pretty funny.

By the way, Bart asks how he hasn't heard of "that word" (singular): did he mean "homo" or "erectus"? Aren't they funnier together?



DYN:
...Jimbo's girlfriend also showed up in SABF08 earlier tonight (also in the church)?
...there are no "fun facts" for Florence Nightingale? (Really?)
...still a little leftover work from Marcia Wallace?

Previous episode stuff
3F06: Leaves of Grass
DABF11?: Ridiculously animate GMO (I think this is the episode)
4F14: Appropriately for Sideshow Bob, this showdown on the dam
9F22: Distracting Bob by getting him to sing, rake scene, oft-used Cape Fear theme

Your updated TRESS AS DORIS list
HABF15, JABF02, KABF06, LABF08, MABF12, NABF11, NABF13, NABF15,
NABF16, PABF06, PABF15, PABF19, RABF03, RABF09, RABF10, RABF11,
SABF07


Meta stuff
-Marge's license plate is SABF07
-Church sign at one point takes the place of a subtitle: "A few days later..."



Titles
I've written about multiple titles drawn from the same source before; most recently we got up to 4:
Mona Lisa: 7G06, HABF19, KABF12, MABF17
It may still be worth noting that there are a handful of triples, which now gets a new member:
The Man Who Knew Too Much: 1F19, GABF19, SABF07
although if you feel that EABF03 also counts, then it becomes another quadruple.
Other triples:
A Star Is Born: 2F31, EABF08, GABF13
The Old Man and the Sea: 4F17, AABF16, DABF09
Take My Wife, Please: BABF05, EABF15, LABF01
I hope I'm not missing any!

Did you mean GABF16? GABF19 is "Milhouse of Sand and Fog."
You wouldn't have this problem is you just used titles and not expect
everyone to have memorized the codes. (I looked them up.)

Bitch, bitch, bitch. Yes. Transcription error from previous list, not that that helps me here.

There's a difference between bitching and stating a simple fact.

Without the episode titles the bottom portion of your post that deals with
puns on famous titles is meaningless to the entire population of the planet
Earth, minus you.
