I didn't like this too since I wasn't familiar with the TV show. Blah.

Previous episode stuff
3F16: Is Chester J. Lampwick in the gun-wielding motel parking lot crowd in the 70s?
ZABF22: Marge says Homer better not be a sports podcaster (while wondering what he's hiding in WY)

Previously on Simpflix
The 7:30 rerun of QABF21 (which did start on time here, after football ran exactly 30 minutes over) was mostly the same as the original, except for two things:
1. the corner popup on the executive producers saying next episode in 6 days, 23 hours, etc. was gone
2. most of the end credits were shoved into a tiny window while a promo for part 2 ran!
Now, this is probably still preferable to a special hour-long airing with combined credits and no linking material, but annoying anyway. It's true that Fox's current format puts a minute or so of ads between shows at the top of the hour (not at the

bottom), so someone casually watching and being completely unaware of tonight's schedule might not realize the story would be continued moments later, but on the other hand, after these credits, a separate promo for the new episode ran anyway! I also
wonder if this, like last week's gag, was meant to imitate Netflix's style of squishing credits while promoting other content, yet it didn't seem to have the right feel, so I'm not sure who decided to make it like this.

Anyway, what happens for future reruns (of both parts!), syndication, on-demand, and (MAYBE) home video manifestations remains to be seen. Yeesh.

For what it's worth, I thought this two-parter was a spot-on parody of
those Fargo mini-series. One of the better efforts from a show that
has been past its sell by date for years now.

Also, did it even happen in the series continuity?

Since when has the Simpsons ever cared about series continuity?
Especially when they're doing a clear parody of another show like
this.
