To answer your question about the Arm protectors they did appear in the season 2 finale, Blood Feud when Mr Burns is running through the plant after his blood transfusion, and we see Homer working them only to drop a rod after celebrating burns health.

Regarding the censorship in the UK, I remember seeing the attempted suicide scene on TV (though it was probably on Sky rather than Channel 4), and don't believe it was censored, but it's entirely possible, as they did censor some strange things from The Simpsons over the years.

I’ve been to a Penn and Teller and had Teller speak to me when handing me a prop to pass around my part of the audience! Their magic show is very entertaining and I’ve seen it twice....but they always stop the show for 15 minutes to preach libertarian screed while holding up a copy of the Constitution.

Bob, when you're able to travel to Canada again, you should have Nina take you Canadian 5 pin bowling. It's different up here. Basically it's smaller balls, 5 larger pins. Pins are worth 2,3,5,3,2. Rules are basically same only now a strike is 15 + next 2 balls instead of 10 etc. Also you get 3 balls per frame always instead of only on the last frame if you manage a strike or spare on it. If you knock down the remaining pins on the 3rd ball you just get 15 points, there is no plus next X ball(s) associated with it. This makes a perfect game 450. Tell your US friends you bowled a 280 while visiting Nina and don't tell them it was 5 pin:p

End of this episode feels different when released the same week as Naya Rivera's death

Ichy and Scratchy being on Springfield Squares does bother me a little, but in my head cannon I just assume they're actors capering in Itchy and Scratchy costumes, maybe veterans from Ichy and Scratchy Land. Hollywood Squares has had a bunch more versions. The 70s had a kid's version called Storybook Squares where the celebrities dressed as various historical and fictional characters, such as Paul Lynde as Frankenstein's Monster. Sometimes they even reprised famous roles like William Shatner appearing as Captain Kirk (probably his only in character life action appearance between TOS and STTMP--citation needed of course). In the early eighties there was the Match Game-Hollywood Squares Hour with Grandpa Simpson's favorite presidential write in candidate Jon "Bowzer" Bauman as the host for the Hollywood Square's section. But I'm really surprised you didn't bring up the late eighties HS revival hosted by John Davidson. Aside from being the inspiration for the first Springfield Squares appearance since they would sometimes film on the beaches of Hollywood Florida for some weeks, ALF was occasionally the center square.

This episode was really fun and I enjoyed it a lot, but I think my main random contribution for the week has to relate just to Penn & Teller. I watched several new episodes of "Bullshit" around the time I was in middle school (2008-2010) and got a huge kick out of them for seemingly seeing them stick it to the republicans, but you guys are totally right, they are absolutely just libertarians who only disagree with republicans on a few details but fall far closer to their views than democrats or actual progressives. It's also just a poorly made show that's kind of liberal jerk-bait like a lot of other political things of the time, where the rightwing people brought on to be interviewed are specifically selected to always be the dumbest morons and conspiracy dudes possible so that it's always an easy strawman for them to dismantle. There's actual good arguments to be made against what the MAJORITY of conservatives push for, but that was not what Penn and Teller wanted to do here. While it's embarrassing to me that I liked them so much in retrospect, it really does fit with who I was as a teenager in the context of my life. I went to Catholic School for the entirety of my grade school-high school years, and became increasingly progressive/leftist as I got older (and much more so during my university years), in part because of the frustrating and conservative environment that Catholic Schools are (even in Canada). BUT, due to the fact that what I was getting frustrated by was pretty rightwing, my swing to the left was very gradual and at the age I was while watching Penn & Teller, I was definitely closer to libertarian or centrist dem than where I am now, in part because I was also too young and naive from a sheltered environment to know that they were pretty full of shit. I think this says a lot about their belief systems in general. -- Also, I was never sure if that was ACTUALLY Teller's voice or not, seeing as I don't think I've heard him talk anywhere else, given that my main exposure to them was via "Bullshit".

I am pretty sure you hear Teller's voice in the movie "Penn and Teller get killed".

At the beginning of this episode, Springfield is overrun with pushy New Yorkers and one of them threatens Moleman with a "Details magazine up the wazoo". That reminded me of the brief heyday of 'lad magazines' in the late 90s/early 2000s. Besides Details, I think there was FHM, Maxim, Stuff, and probably some others I'm forgetting. For some reason the magazine publishers of the world all decided that what we really needed was a testosterone-fueled equivalent of Cosmo or Teen with a bonus photo shoot of some star in a bikini. I hadn't thought about any of them in years and I'm pretty sure the Internet killed them off even faster than it did the rest of the magazine industry.

Oh man, I laughed harder than I have in a long time at the foley of Lenny's pills hitting the trash can. That might be my favorite joke in the whole episode because 1. its actually an accurate usage of the term "psychotic" and 2. the joke is dark as all fuck. This is a good mental illness learning moment, what homer describes could qualify as a psychotic break. Many people use psychotic and sociopathic interchangeably, but the two terms are really different. A psychosis generally speaking is simply a break from reality, and can manifest in so many ways. The dark aspect of this joke is that if Lenny is taking those pills, he is likely schizophrenic or has a major mood disorder or personality disorder, and one of the biggest challenges in those disorders is people who stop taking their medication, for a variety of reasons. Lenny's accident may have been a false alarm at the start of the episode, but someone really needs to stop by his dilapidated shack and do a wellness check. All that said, I nearly fell over in the shower when I heard "if thats psychotic, then why am I taking these?!" punctuated by that perfect foley. As a lifelong sufferer of different mental illnesses and as someone who used to be on a lot of medication, this reference is usually on my short list for Simpsons quotes.

I wonder if the bowling thing has largely been dropped from Homer's personality simply because it was something Fred Flintstone was known for? The less ways The Simpsons can be compared to that show the better.
