Talk about an amazing way to end the week. This project has really gotten me irritated with my younger self, who kept saying he couldn’t stand Lisa episodes, because they’re seriously amazing. It keeps blowing my mind just how wonderful these Lisa ones have been, especially the last […]
Well here’s another episode that really didn’t hold up in my memory that well. Little pieces were there, but this was a real joy to revisit, because despite my shaky recollections, this episode rocks. I mean, it’s Bart and Lisa solving a mystery that involves Krusty, that’s […]
Man this is a sad episode, and one that revolves around an aspect of the show that I always have an issue with. I really don’t see the Simpsons as poor or lower class, and episodes that revolves around them being financially strained are often a little […]
Oh man. Here’s a weird episode. I feel like I’ve never really thought about this episode before, but it’s such a bizarre premise. Taking a living ex-president, and essentially making him Mr. Wilson in a weird Dennis the Menace riff is so odd. I guess it makes […]
What a lovely way to start off the week. This is one of those episodes that my mind wasn’t really remembering right, because I of course remembered and loved both the A and B plot of this episode, but I feel like I wouldn’t have remembered that […]
Man, what an impressive week of episodes. Yeah, we kind of took a bit of a nose-dive yesterday with “the 138th Episode Spectacular,” but we’re about to shoot back up into greatness to end the week. This episode is great. It’s of course funny, but it has […]
It’s everyone’s favorite time! Interminable clip show episode! Even though this may be the best and most self-aware clip show that I’m familiar with, it’s still a goddamn slog. The structure of the episode has Troy McClure hosting a show honoring the Simpsons, as if it was […]
Yay! Sideshow Bob episode! The Simpsons has been really spoiling me lately. Although we’re going to take a brief dip tomorrow…but let’s focus on the positive and the present! The episode starts off with the kids and Homer watching Krusty, while he shows off the new crazy […]
Well here’s another strange and classic episode. I think it’s handled very well, but man could this premise have been a mess. Although I think the Simpsons always did a great job at making terrible ideas palatable. Things start off with another great Homer and Bart scheme, […]
Well here’s a depressing episode. Not really from the content, because it’s a very funny episode, but more because of the implications of it. It’s all about Homer trying to get above 300 lbs, because that would make him so monsterously obese that he can get workman’s comp. […]
