Squatting in Waverly Hills

[vovat]

Eh, I didn't think much of last night's Simpsons episode. The premise was actually pretty interesting, but nothing really came of it. The crazy school inspector was kind of funny, but that's pretty much it. Not to mention that I found the timeline kind of confusing, since they seemed to be cutting back and forth to storylines that weren't even taking place at the same time of day, as far as I could tell. It's hardly the first episode to do this, but it struck me as particularly confusing this time. Family Guy wasn't that great either, although I did think the live-action clips were a nice touch. I did enjoy American Dad, and appreciated that it gave more background for Roger, but I can't help feeling sorry for the guy.

All right, that's all for now, and I have to get going soon anyway. In the works for tonight is a post about Kaliko.

What were some previous Simpsons episodes that didn't have timeline continuity within the episode?

What immediately comes to mind is how "$pringfield" (the legalized gambling episode) had Robert Goulet performing at Bart's treehouse casino on the same night as Lisa's geography pageant. No explicit contradiction there, but it was kind of weird. And I'm sure there are other cases I'm forgetting.
