...episode was a tribute from one cadre of cartoon geniuses-South Park's Trey Parker and Matt Stone-to another, earlier one: Matt Groening, James L. Brooks and their team of highly educated misfits, who developed Groening's crudely drawn one-minute Tracey Ullman Show vignettes of a chinless yellow family into a half-hour sitcom, nay, a veritable comedy cosmos that this fall begins its record-breaking 19th season...
...young men agree that Polly is the most beautiful girl of the season, but none of them seem at all interested in proposing to her.

He's the sort of father figure these chinless wonders have never had--stern but caring, and at one with the winds and the waves. Also, he seems to have the ability to tell them apart, a matter on which Todd Robinson's script--not to mention the casting director--is not very helpful. Sheldon's promise is that after a year of crewing with him, all the nonsense will...
