The overall story wasn't that great, but I really like how they intertwined all the stories and made it come together at the end.

I didn't watch the episode live, but Yahoo! says this was the Opening Chalkboard Gag last night, which is hilarious:



But when I watched it on Hulu this morning I saw one about Guinea Pigs. Did the Schaal Gag only air live last night?

I actually didn't understand that gag at all. I had to google the name and saw that she's some actress tha's been in a few things I've seen but never remembered her.

Evidently when she was in an earlier epidose they spelled her name wrong in the credits.

She was in last week's episode. She was the girl enamored with Milhouse. She's also a regular on Bob's Burgers and was a regular on Flight of the Conchords.

Thanks for explaining the chalk board gag (didn't get it, and was too lazy to research)

I liked the episode, and the "mystery" was fun and so was the resolution.

Glad to see The Simpsons go after timely parodies like The Sweet Hereafter.

She's also the funniest correspondent on The Daily Show - her segments KILL me!

Is that what it was? I saw that movie and still nothing in the episode clicked for me. Went completely over my head.
