"Dog's Day Afternoon" is a funny, charming episode that reminds me of why I once loved this show. It's a terrific premise - Timmy taking the place of Vicky's spoiled pet dog only to find he's going to get "fixed"! The dog jokes are funny, Vicky's other "fixed" and dispirited pets are a scream, but best of all is Cosmo's reaction when he and Wanda split up to take care of the dog Timmy and the fake Timmy. His anguish over being separated from his Wanda is affecting and hilarious, a far cry from the obnoxious, callous, tiresome Cosmo of the more recent episodes. Many fans wish for the return of the "Dog's Day Afternoon" Cosmo who adored his wife and cared about the feelings of others, just a loveable goofy guy. Ah memories...
As for "Chin Up", if you're into superhero parodies, eh, there are worse ones out there I suppose. But the Crimson Chin got tiresome pretty quick, along with Catman, and I avoid their episodes like the plague.moreless
Chin Up:
Timmy wishes for the Crimson Chin, a comic book hero, to come to life. But when the Chin discovers that he is imaginary and lives in a fake world, Timmy must restore his confidence. In order to do so he wishes himself inside the comic and poses as the Chin's sidekick, Cleft, the Boy Chin Wonder. The Crimson Chin must now make a decision about his so-called life.
Dog's Day Afternoon:
Timmy wishes he was a dog in order to be treated better by Vicky. But when he discovers that he is due to be "fixed", he is unable to wish himself back to normal, no longer having the ability to speak.moreless

ALLUSIONS (13)
ADD ALLUSIONS-

-
Crimson Chin: I was just in a heroic battle with (while making sudden poses) good vs evil with seven...
The sudden poses that the Crimson Chin did were similar to William Shatner's character, Captain Kirk, complete with replicated, sudden camera angles.
-
Comic name: My Pretty Pony
This might be a reference Stephen King's short story with the same name which was included in his collection Nigtmares and Dreamscapes. Pretty Pony is the description of time and how it moves faster while time passes.
-
Pretty Pony comics
This might be a parody of the My Little Pony toys from Hasbro. There were comics produced for the famous toy line.
-
The soap opera the Crimson Chin is watching is titled "All My Parents' Offspring," which is a play on the real soap title "All My Children."

Chincinnati
The hometown of the Crimson Chin is aptly parodied off of the real city of Cincinnati.

Title pun: Dog Day Afternoon, a 1975 film starring Al Pacino.

This is a parody of Superman's weakness of kryptonite. -

The name is a parody of Robin the Boy Wonder. -
Crimson Chin: Origin of Powers
The way how Charles Hampton Indigo was bitten by a radioactive handsome actor on the chin, and was given chin-based powers to become the "Crimson Chin" is very similair to how Peter Parker was bitten by a radioactive spider and obtained spider-esque powers and became Spider-Man. -
Chrimson Chin: Personality
The Crimson Chin's personality seems to mirrors Superman's, especially how he is willing to risk his life for justice. -
Cleft: I'll use the Chin Signal.
The "Chin Signal" is an obvious parody of the "Bat Signal" from Batman
