Almost "identical" episodes in the same season (Season 10)

Um, there's at least one other example elsewhere too, but I'm just talking about this 1:

In "Sunday Cruddy Sunday" Homer and bart go somewhere (the Super Bowl) and Marge and Lisa stay behind and do something "boring".... which is painting eggs.

Then "Maximum Homerdrive" is pretty much the same with Homer driving the truck and Marge and Lisa go buy a doorbell.

Also both episodes have gimmicky one-time characters that interact with Marge (Vincent price in the superbowl ep), and in Maximum Homerdrive they have the doorbell man "Senor Dingdong"

I'm not complaining about the writers or calling them lazy - cause i liked both those episodes. Just pointing it out :)
