Hey, it's another streaming-only episode! Well, as
keep-trying-to-fix-time-travel-mistakes plots go, this wasn't too bad,
especially staying very focused and close to major characters. Maybe I'm
just becoming more savvy or maybe the "Wuhu" menu's explicit labeling of
this as a fantasy episode was very helpful, but it was nice to know this
was part of a separate reality/set of rules... since the
hypnosis/time-travel/quantum-leaping would otherwise be a bit silly.
Nice that this had a little room to breathe, too, clocking in at a bit
over 22 minutes vs. the typical 21.5 broadcast max these days. A few
good gags as well, though I take issue with some of the loose linguistics.

Previous episode stuff
4F12: Homer claims Marge keeps leaning on Cheap Trick but he seemed to
be the fan before
9F07: Barney specifically mentions having used to be the Plow King
(Many episode stills in "Wuhu" menu with cheeky categorizations)

Speaking of streaming
It's interesting (to use a certain someone's favorite word) that 7F24 is
still banished from streaming, FXX reruns, etc., while TABF04 is
suffering no similar fate, even as the subject of ITS adulation, well...
