Or as the online TV guide thinks it's called, Baby You Can Drive My Car. I guess they didn't get the joke. Anyway, I'm conflicted. The central concepts (the shady corporation, Homer and Marge working together, etc.) seemed pretty classic, as did many of
the one-liners and observations, but some things just didn't hit at all. (Why exactly was the town a nuclear waste zone for about two seconds after the Lenny
and Carl scene? Not only did it "revert" right away but I didn't even see a reasonable joke for
a Family-Guy-style gag.) It was also very very short, but apart from those things, fairly solid late-season episode. Also, I found it very interesting that the real tune of "Pure Imagination" was used for the cafeteria sequence, without doing a visual
parody or soundalike or adding new lyrics; it was comparatively subtle and restrained.


Previous episode stuff
1F02 (etc.): the 3 nerds are back, among many others
3F02: "dank" is a keyword for Moe's account with the CarGo sponsorship
9F15: the screen door back entrance to the server room feels remarkably like the one at the nuclear plant way back when
9F05: Burns should know Marge has worked at SNPP before

Meta
Maggie's opening-sequence driving gag is reenacted in the self-driving montage (though with Homer next to her).

Has the ever used the pun "Abbey you can drive my car" in relation to Grandpa?
