Let me be the first to say:
F@*! Fox, and football.
Even though I have my DVR set to record before and after the allegedly alloted program time, I still lost the last five or so minutes of this episode [my recording ends right after Lisa says bye to Milhouse].
God forbid they timecompress the commercials so people can somewhat plan on watching a program. This is the one show I'm actively recording, and Fox has to fox it up. I just upped the recording time to 10 min before and 15 after, but that won't help tonight. Looks like I'm hitting alternate sources for it.
Oh, and Fox--crap like this doesn't get me watching live--it gets me saying 'screw it', and either finding it elsewhere, skipping it, or waiting for the DVD.

The cat lady was funny, but the rest of the episode was garbage.

Ditto. I missed half of the episode on my DVR.

It's not as funny since she's in almost every episode now.

Yeah, her first appearance when Lisa & Bart were working on a school news program gave me the biggest laugh I've ever had from this show. Her appearance tonight brought barely a chuckle. Thanks for hammering that joke into the ground!

I laughed pretty good at that one as well. I liked when the cat lady chucked one at Marge.

Homer asleep on the floor in his footie PJ's was funny I thought.

Also Moe trying to commit suicide, only to land on a hot air balloon TWICE.

"Tyrannosaurus Sex"

Luckily I was watching the game and was able to adjust the Simpson's; Family Guy; and American Dad.

This was a pretty good episode. Mr. Burns was deliciously evil at the dedication to the Children's Wing of the hospital.

Was anyone else expecting a shot of someone on the roof of the building tailing Lisa and Milhouse in little Italy a la Godfather II?

Did we know that Milhouse's middle name was Mussolini. I don't remember hearing it before.

I think that is new! Good trivia question.

I thought this one wasn't too bad for a Marge-centered episode. Not too many LOL moments, but enjoyable.

Only got half the episode, too, thanks to a football game between two teams hundreds of miles away I couldn't care less about.

Cat over the house, rabbit fight & Homer leading the cops to Mr Burns house had me laughing out loud. Any show that can get me LOL is good in my book.

Eh, it was okay. Glad I actually turned it on at 7 and saw that the stupid game was still on. Guess I need to pad that some more.

Can't believe nobody mentioned the exchange between Wiggum and Lou. Seems to be a good running gag lately.

Is missing part of an episode something that happens frequently to Tivo owners?

I missed everything after the second commercial break. So, I got to see the credits and I guess about 6-7 minutes before mine cut out.

I don't have Tivo, but I do have a DVR, which is pretty much the same thing with fewer features. Anyway, I usually don't miss parts of an episode, except I sometimes miss the previews for the next episode depending on the show. As for The Simpsons specifically, I usually don't miss it because football is usually finished in time to pre-empt King of the Hill but not The Simpsons. I guess I'll just wait for reruns to watch it. And they'll probably be using them a lot after something is cancelled.

The overtime football game between the Seahawks and Giants was to blame for people missing part of the episode.
