***** Where's the list of "second episodes"? *****
For those of you who ask "where's the 'second national run'
syndication schedule?", there is no more "second national run";
any station that shows a second (or more) syndicated episode
each night pays the syndicators for the rights (well, for the
rights to show its own commercials rather than the ones the
syndicators give them), which includes the rights to show
whatever episodes they want. You have to ask the local station
which episodes it is showing; some stations list their
syndicated episodes in "TV Guide".

THEY KNOW WE'RE HERE
Marge puts "Krusty - Gay?"
DYN
...the blackboard opening is a repeat - for the first time in four
years?
...in the exhibit, Fonzie's jacket had a light beam alarm while the
Bill of Rights (and Archie Bunker's chair) did not?
...Bart has a Space Mutants doll in his room?
...Maggie was holding a Bongo doll?
...Lisa's hair was blunt almost throughout the episode?
...the Karma-Ceuticals shop had a Stonecutters flag?
...Marge's gossip pad includes "Otto - drugs?", "Mayor Quimby -
interns?", "Burns - greedy?", and "Krusty - Gay?"
...either they got Maggie's "cow cup" out of the melted Christmas
mass, or they got her a replacement?
GOOFS/FREEZE FRAME/WHATNOT
The 15-star flag should have 15 stripes, not 13. (The National Museum
of American History, which is what most people think of when someone
mentions "The Smithsonian", has the original flag that was raised at
the end of the failed assault on Fort McHenry that inspired Francis
Scott Key to write what would become the lyrics to one of the most
unsingable national anthems ever, which has 15 stars and 15 stripes;
when more states were added, it was decided that additional stripes
would make them too small, so they went back to 13 stripes. Actually,
quite a bit of that flag is missing, as pieces of it were given away
as souvenirs; it's undergoing restoration.)
The rotating part of the tower is in the middle of the roof, but
Lisa's room is in a corner of the house. If it's in anybody's room,
it would be in Bart's.
Either Homer has "cruel and unusual" tattooed on his tongue, or the
part of the Bill of Rights that he licked off should have been in
reverse on his tongue.

> "Alvin & the Chipmunks" (the "Oo-ee-oo-ah-ah" song)
It's called "Witch Doctor," and while Alvin and the Chipmunks made
it one of their various covers, it was not done by them, and thus not
necessarily a direct reference to A&tC.
