Pretty good, minus a bit of a dip halfway. I'm familiar with these podcasts and that helped, but it was mostly just an enjoyable little mystery in classic style. I know I tend to fawn all over Selman episodes, but on top, a writing credit for David X.
Cohen? Not a bad combination.

DYN:
...as the show ages it's less and less believable for Abe to have fought in WWII (he'd have to be at least in his 90s now)?

Previous episode stuff
FABF18: another Broadcast News title parody (both owing, one assumes, to the James L. Brooks connection)

Meta
Yeardley Smith appears as herself because she has a true crime podcast (I didn't even know this), coyly denying being known for anything else.
Episode production code ZABF22 is Abe's mug shot number.

The voice mystery continues
Is Harry Shearer still the voice of Judge Snyder and Dr. Hibbert in this episode? They both sound like they usually do, but between the later production order and calendar date, I would have expected a swap by now. I see Alex Désert (apparently only new
Carl) credited, maybe for crowd scenes, but no one else that might fit the bill. Previously recast voices, I think, had all been Hank's. If it's not someone new, did Harry have more contractual pull, or what?

Transmission error
Did anyone else experience freezing and stuttering in the Fox feed just before and during the start of act 2? Maybe it was my local station or cable company. But I guess that's another reason to tune in for the rerun (see below)...

A dedication I've waited all week for
Alex Trebek died, or at least the news broke, last Sunday afternoon, presumably not quite enough time to stick a dedication in. This week, we get the usual "in loving memory of" before the Gracie logo, with a wide shot of him (and Marge and other
contestants) from 5F07. Expect that to be gone next time.
