God. I didn't need to remember that. That is one of my all-time WORST episodes. It honestly makes me cringe so bad, anytime it's on syndication I will not watch it. It's not funny, it's disgusting, and that "Baby made boom-boom." line is one of the worst things The Simpsons has ever put out.
So odd though, considering one of my favorite lines is in it, too..
"Ow! My eye! I'm not supposed to get pudding in it!"

The Hungry, Hungry Homer episode is brilliant
I don't have S11 yet so will get it when it goes down in price.I really like the "Homer v Dignity" episode but it's not the only time they used the "Homer is Mr. Burns' monkey" plot!
"Trilogy of Error" (the Short Cuts parody) is remarkable so I'm tempted to buy S12 for that.

Re: The Simpsons: Season 12 (Comic Book Guy Head Packaging)
The way the Simpsons seasons have a habit of going on sale for <20 relatively soon after release, I guess I'll end up getting it, but I'm less and less enthuzed with each new release. The craptastic packaging doesn't help matters much.
I haven't seen many eps past season 11 (if I'm remembering right--might be season 12), so it'll be interesting when my first viewing of a set of eps is so repulsive that I stop buying the releases altogether.

Picked it up today at Fry's for $28.77.
The packaging is the same vein of Season 11 - the plastic head is glued on over the regular packaging. There's a slight modification, though - the rear paper backing that lists the episodes is half glued on and has a flap that goes in to the side of the case (so it's removable, but if you keep everything like me it's a pain in the ass) and now Fox's excuse for fixing this was putting in thumb cutouts in the part of the foldout where the discs are stored. Doesn't change the fact that the discs still lay on cardboard, but they're easier to get out now.

Re: The Simpsons: Season 12 (Comic Book Guy Head Packaging)
I heard before i picked my copy up today that it was the same type of packaging.... if this was any other series I would not have bought it. How hard is it to just put them in 2 damn slim cases and slide those in the outer box that matches the rest of the seasons or maybe just keep it the same as season 10.
