Days of Wine and D'oh'ses

Original Airdate on FOX: 9-Apr-2000

[TV Guide] Barney quits drinking to take helicopter-flying lessons, leaving Homer feeling resentful and inferior; Lisa and Bart enter a contest to photograph the cover of the Springfield phone book.

[Advertisement] "Tonight, experience HOMERVISION ... when Homer has one (dozen) too many." (Advertisement has multiple overlapped images of Bart, as he would appear to someone intoxicated, saying ...) "Over here Homer."



% The helicopter flies over the Springfield town square, where Lisa
% stands on a ladder and trains her camera on a bird's nest.

Lisa: Now, when the momma bird returns to feed her babies, we'll have a prize-winning picture.

Bart: Lisa, people these days don't want to see a baby bird; they want to see celebrities at their worst.

[just then, Rainier Wolfcastle, looking rather flabby, walks out of the Kwik-E-Mart with a chili dog]

Lisa: Is that Rainier Wolfcastle?

Bart: Check out the gut.

Wolfcastle: It's for a movie. I'm playing a fat secret agent.

Original Airdate on FOX: 18-Feb-2001

[TV Guide ad] Double page advertisement for episode CABF10 "Day of the Jackanapes". "Sideshow Bob Returns to Springfield for Revenge!" "Guest Star: Kelsey Grammer". The head (and hair) of Sideshow Bob appears spread across two pages, with Bart in the background, arms crossed, saying "It's not every kid my age who has an archenemy." Fox is pulling out all the stops for the February sweeps. Small boxes for three other shows appear on the same pages.

[TV Guide Close-Up] Inside the Criminal Mind -- Kelsey Grammer returns as Sideshow Bob, who surfaces with yet another murderous scheme. Krusty the Clown decides to retire (again) because he's sick of creative input from network executives. In an interview leading up to his last show, Krusty reveals that his early episodes with Bob were lost (Krusty taped over them). That news makes Bob see red, so he talks his way out of prison and into a job at Springfield Elementary. There, he captures Bart, who declares he has no fear as Bob's always been the loser in their entanglements. But hypnosis turns Bart into a zombie-like accomplice for Bob's plan to send Krusty on a fond-and-explosive-farewell.

Six-figure bonuses retain US commandos

By RICHARD LARDNER
ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER


WASHINGTON -- The Pentagon has paid more than $100 million in bonuses to veteran Green Berets and Navy SEALs, reversing the flow of top commandos to the corporate world where security companies such as Blackwater USA are offering big salaries.

The retention effort, started nearly three years ago and overseen by U.S. Special Operations Command in Tampa, Fla., has helped preserve a small but elite group of enlisted troops with vast experience fighting the unconventional wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to Defense Department statistics.
