Simpsons -- 11/10
Weird, still no Simpsons thread.
Anyhoo I liked it quite a bit. Nearly on par with the Baseball episode for a good ensemble VA cast. Lots of fun.
Didn't catch who Lenny Kravitz said was stuffing his crotch though -- who was that guy who ran out?

I really didn't like it much. Not the best episode, and the fact that there was a simpsons repeat before it where fox could have easily placed futurama ticks me off.

I for one thought I would never see another episode with celebrity guests used in an actually funny way. When I first heard all those rock stars would be in it I thought it would be probably as crappy as when they used Britney Spears or N'Sync.
But it was actually funny. Loaded with great one-liners. And the Satan car at the end had me
"I think it's Brian Seltzer."

I liked the repeat "pot" episode better than the new one. Even though I've seen the "pot" episode, but I still had more laugh than the new one.
Marge: "Honey, you don't have to smoke mary-jay to find Burns funny. Imagine Burns naked."
Homer: "Aww, Aww.....!!"

It was a pretty good episode - there were worse episode.
Why did they have Brian Setzer on? He kind of paled in comparison to the other guest stars, I think he was in a band in the 80s, had an orchestra and one hit in the late 90s, and a Christmas song once. Is he as good as the other guest stars?

He was on the show because he's considered one of the greatest guitar players alive.

If fox has that buffer zone of a free 30 minutes at 7:30, I see no reason why they should risk futurama on a 7 time slot on game days when they know games will pretty much always go over.

I got Futurama and I am in Ohio. There was no 4pm game on Fox in my area. Although, for the 1st 5 mins of Futurama, I had no picture. Sound only. Not sure if that was DTV related or our local channel.

I thought it was an above-average episode. I lol several times.
Elvis Costello, when Homer knocked his glasses off: "Ah, my image!"
Homer, to Lisa: "Oh honey, marriage is like a coffin, and each child is like a nail. But as coffin's go..."

Mick Jagger strut school:
Strut, strut, strut...School marm....everybody's naughty and....freeze finish!
And the Keith Richard obstacle course. You have to be in top physical condition!
I thought it WAS on par with the old baseball episode, though I haven't seen that one in a while. Definitely better than most episodes of the last few seasons. There have been a few that were just plain bad, but you know they are going to come up with a gem like this eventually, so you gotta keep watching!

not a great episode by any means. It was funny at parts, and boring at others.
