D’oh! And to think I mutter to myself when other’s post duplicates… if there was an edit button, I’d change it to Robert Goulet (“Jingle bells… Batman smells…” )

Wow! Life sure is full of interesting coincidences. Just last night they showed that very episode on my local Fox affiliate, WUHF-TV. (Channel 31, Cable 7 in Rochester, NY; The UHF part is no doubt a generic reference to Ultra High Frequency, a somewhat odd choice. WXXI-TV, our PBS affiliate is also an “Ultra” and has a near-ten year seniority, going back to circa '71. Would you be surprised over the Channel number being… 21? At last its a specific reference. And, so far, I haven’t heard of any Very High Frequency station having the call letter WVHF!)

I am certain that it was the 11 pm time-slot, although IIRC they still have both 5 pm and 6 pm slots for the Simpson clan as well.

“Shelbyville” has a familiar ring to it, including the neighboring town and rivaling kid characters, so I have no doubt spotted it once before, probably also in syndication, rather than network original or network rerun.

But I did not clearly recall the second Milhouse, so my memory isn’t all that perfect thse days, assuming that I was paying full attention the first time around.

We’ve got Rabbi Krustofski, but no one’s mentioned **Krusty the Clown** (Hershel Krustofski)? Hey HEY!

I’d like to do a second one, but I’m afraid I might have missed his name in someone else’s post. Just to be safe, could someone search the boards for a **Hugh Jass**?

Jacqueline, of course. I’m sure some of the people on your list are new, but there was a rule about two characters per poster. 😉
