While not one of the more memorable episodes of the show, this is still quite fun. This episode is notable for the beginning sequence where Crow actually manages to travel down the Umbilicus and personally see Dr. Forrester! When I first heard of this, I thought it might have been done just briefly as a gag. Instead, it actually was pretty important to the story. Mike actually referenced Jeff Dunham and one of his puppets, Peanut, in this. I didn't even think that guy became famous until the 2000's! Now this shows how timeless the show is.
I saw an annotated version and really was fascinated by how many references they made. They really are fond of the joke where they say, "Is Cathy there?" with, "She's trying on a bathing suit saying Aack!". I know that was used in another episode. I didn't know Ann Margaret dated Elvis. Great to hear a joke about how bad the Cubs are when they finally won this year! I liked "The hottest Garfield episode ever!" and, "This changes nothing! I'll still sell you into white slavery!". Mostly as good as ever. ***1/2
