THE TRACEY ULLMAN SHOW (on Comedy Central)
Sorry, but the Comedy Central web site has not been updated
as of Monday afternoon - check the schedule yourself at
http://www.comcentral.com/sched/Week.htm
(replace "Week" with a day of the week, capitalized - for example,
"Monday" - to get a specific day's schedule)
WARNING TO SAN FRANCISCO TYPES: KTVU will be showing two Sunday night
49ers games this season: August 18 (home vs. Jacksonville) and November
3 (at New Orleans - all together: "Long before the Superdome...");
because there is a post-game show at 8:00 after Sunday night games,
the Simpsons episodes on those nights will be moved, probably to 11 PM
that night (like they did for the first showing of the 138th Episode
Spectacular); they used to show them early on Monday nights, but now
they show Seinfeld/Home Improvement/Married...with Children reruns,
all of which maintain a "nationwide schedule" (like The Simpsons does)
so they can't skip episodes
Speaking of San Francisco, the San Franciso Opera has commissioned
Andre Previn to compose an opera based on "A Streetcar Named Desire".
Somebody call Jeff Martin and Alf Clausen (episode writer and music
composer for "A Streetcar Named Marge") so they can give Previn some
ideas - "Long before the Superdome, where the Saints of football
play..."
NOTE TO AOL MEMBERS: Check keyword "Channel Zero", then click on
"Previously on Channel Zero" for a transcript of a chat with executive
producers Bill Oakley and Josh Weinstein (actually, it's never made
clear which one of them is talking at any given time). (I can't just
post the transcript onto ATS since the rights are owned by AOL.)
STUFF for "Raging Abe Simpson and his Grumbling Grandson in
'The Curse of the Flying Hellfish'" (3F19)

the room is sucked in (repeat of
Special Guest Voice: Marcia Wallace

REVIEW: Another "somewhere in the middle episode" - a few good laughs,
but nothing to get excited over, especially for a story
without a subplot

DYNs
...Nelson's grandfather looks like he could be Chief Wiggum's father?
...Grampa calls Milhouse's grandfather "Van Hooten"?
...the map behind Mrs. Krabappel's desk has some adjacent states with
the same color?
...there's something brown on Lisa's plate at dinner, but it's not a
pork chop, which Bart, Marge, and Homer are eating?
...Homer associates Medic Alert bracelets with being old, yet most of
the things that are on those bracelets aren't things that are
necessarily "achieved" with age?
...the names on the Hellfish list:
Sheldon Skinner
Arnie Gumble
Asa Phelps
Iggy Wiggum
Milton "Ox" Haas
Etch Westgrin
Griff McDonald
Abe Simpson
Montgomery Burns
...Mr. Burns sends a message via "Faxtroller"?
...Burns' Rolodex cards include:
Mesmerists (hypnotists)
Dowsers (people who find water with divining rods)
Luddites
Alienists
Zororastrians (should the second "r" really be there?)
Alphabetizers
Asassins
...Burns is a Private First Class, while Abe is a Master Sergeant?
...Grampa calls Arnie Gumble a "private fifth class", but there are
only three classes of private?
...Homer is stuck in a "Chinese finger trap"?
...someone refers to "Commander Flanders", yet Commander is a Navy
rank?
...there are only nine members of the Flying Hellfish squad?
...Lisa thinks Burns is Santa?
...Burns never bothers to find out who buried the treasure, since
that person would know where it is?
...the graveyard with the Hellfish memorial is not the one where
Walt Whitman is buried, since they are both the highest tombstones
in their respective graveyards?
...the paintings' owner's car has license plate AJ 72695 and a "D"
oval sticker (used in Europe to denote the car is from Germany
(Deutscheland)), but the sticker is not white with black letter?
...in the water when Bart dives down:
A life preserver
A school of three-eyed fish
Three life vests
A skeleton in a kayak
A Fotomat booth with "CLASS OF '78 RULES" on it
...there's a house in Germany in 1945 that has paintings in it that
weren't taken by the government? (And the paintings supposedly
belonged to whoever lived there as opposed to being taken from
France in 1940?)
*** MAGGIE ALERT ***
...Maggie eats by herself with a spoon again?
GOOFS
When Bart shows Grampa the keys he got from Burns, they look different
from the keys Burns and Grampa show each other at the funeral
When Grampa opened the box's lid, the lock was not on the latch, yet
when Burns kicked the box (with Bart in it) back into the water, the
lock was on it
WHATNOT
This is the 150th new episode
Prior to 1970, a single "stripe" (actually "chevron") indicated a
Private First Class (rank E-3); later, a single chevron indicated
an "E-2 Private" while a PFC had "one up and one down"
It takes more than one person to run a tank
If the box was sealed with Bart in it, how did water get in (from the
bottom of the box, no less) without water ever getting in and ruining
the paintings before?

Much Apu About Nothing: Apu shouldn't have to worry about the call to
run all illegal immigrants out of Springfield - unless somebody

After that AOL chat, I just hope "Chro...@aol.com" and
"Synch...@aol.com" don't discover this newsgroup before they can
get their acts together...

Two possibilities. One, "Mrs. Doubtfire" runs from either 6:30 til 9
(CDT) or 6:00 til 8:30 (CDT). "Homerpalooza" could be shown either before
or after the movie. Two, the season doesn't have to wrap up on May 19.
"4 Foot 2" might run on the 26th. NBC is keeping it's season finales
until the last week of the month (to squeeze every drop out of May
sweeps).
