Homer: Why did you let that loser into our home?

Marge: I'll tell you why: Christian charity.

Homer: "Christian Charity?" What does a porn star have to do with this?

I was impressed with the overall holiday motif of this episode, especially the altered opening with snow, Christmas decor and Bart riding a snowboard (across dry pavement, even) rather than his usual skateboard.

Dallas, the film remake of the popular 80s prime time soap that no one is really all that excited about, has lost a cast member. Jennifer Lopez was set to play Sue Ellen Ewing, but she has dropped out of the project with no explanation. Although, I must say that one really doesn't need an excuse to drop out of yet another tired movie adaptation of a television series. I think that fact alone is reason enough. That still leaves John Travolta, Shirley MacLaine, and Luke Wilson attached to the project, but who knows who else might jump ship? Or should I say "jump ranch?" No replacement has been found for Lopez yet.
