A good episode.
Bob Costas should host SNL.

This show has definitely been on the upswing lately. It helps that the emotional aspect of The Simpsons is making a comeback; Homer and Marge standing by one another, Bart helping out Lisa in her time of need, etc.
A lot of good jokes in this one too.
Homer telling Marge they came to enjoy a movie, then seeing the movie stars Ben Affleck and him giving up and leaving.
Milhoose and Canadian Nelson's "Hoo Hoo"
Marge: "Let's give the Olympics a miracle!"
Homer:" But this time, on ice!"
Homer chanting USA with the Swedish Flag, then realizing his mistake and tossing it aside.
"Without my necklace I'm just a big Maggie!" - Lisa
"I'm left-handed; I've just used my right hand all these years to seem normal." - Marge
Good episode, hope the trend continues.

I agree that "The Simpsons" has been on an upswing lately. They must have added some talent to their writing staff.

Come on, if you weren't chuckling when Homer was picturing "Santa Ice Diving" as a Winter Olympics event, then you weren't breathing.

Was hoping for the return of Canadian Flanders.

I was hoping for some swipes at the Alberta tarsands and seal clubbing. There's plenty more comical critques to be made at Canada that's more cutting edge than referncing "eh" or whatever.

I really do hope The Simpsons do a 2012 Olympics ep... It can really only go in one direction all things considered.

What it reminded me of was a coloring book. Everything was rounder and simpler, almost "cuter".

Yeah I noticed that a couple of episodes ago. It seemed more cartoonish. I think it looks great in HD. I gotta say I've really been impressed with the show lately. Some of last season's episodes were unbearable. It's like the show's had a rebirth.
