It wasn't just that KOTH attacked hipsters, they had several episodes attacking hippies like the 60's never ended.  Yeah that's topical

No one else has mentioned this, so I hope it wasn't just my TV. When Bart got mad at T-Rex and yelled at him for insulting Homer - whose voice was that?  It didn't sound like anything that's come out of Bart's mouth ever before, or even later in the episode.

Why warn him at all?  Just shoot to kill.

So Peter can predict Windmark's movements and that he will be standing in the apartment at exactly 5:42 and there is no bomb there.  Seems like a wasted opportunity.

And television has become Network.  Next step - The Running Man.  Is it that writers in the past could see the future, or that writers today are so damn lazy they just copy the predictions?  People still say how Star Trek predicted future inventions (flip phones, etc) but they don't seem to have heard the inventors

I've had books showing what game shows and school tests expected people to know in the 1920's.  Maybe people aren't getting dumber but the bar has been lowered to the ground.
