Agreed!  It was a not-bad episode.

I don't like the timeline stretching, though.  I am happy believing 
 that
Homer and Marge were in high school in the 1970s and that the kids are
still the same age now that they've been since the late 1980s.  OTOH, 
 keeping
them at the same age and from the same time would mean you'd eventually 
 run
out of historic events from their backstory that the writers had not 
 already
covered!  ;)

Thanks for keeping that going.  I can still remember reading someone's
(Raymond Chen?) summarys/reviews/DYN lists in this group back c1993.  
 Glad to
see some activity here.
