Favorite Moments:
- In an attempt to calm a frightened Maggie, Lisa points out some vultures circling overhead. "Look, Maggie! Birdies!"
- After covering the story of a possible Bigfoot sighting, the newscaster ends with "We now return you to the president's address, already in progress."

Review: This is the first episode featuring Albert Brooks as a guest voice (Bob the RV Salesman). Brooks always makes any episode he's in better. The story is fun too, but not very many brilliant moments. It's an okay epsiode. B
