I saw this episode a little earlier tonight, and I really enjoyed it. It was like a whodunit up to the end, where we find out who did it (or who tried to do it):

"The fat little dixie chick"

Worst...episode...ever...

TheMadMonk

meh - not a very good episode.

When I first saw I said to myself "they must have run out of character models, because that guy is obviously based on

wildcatlh

That episode certainly sucked. Ugh. Not the worst episode ever, but it was close.

Simpson Purist

You guys must be joking, this episode is a significant improvment over the last Sideshow Bob episode. Although I could've done without the excessive shock gags.

TheMadMonk, the same thing went through my mind.

Boot

Eh. Average at best. King of the Hill was much more entertaining following the Simpsons.

Samuel

Frank Grimes epitaph: (Homer's enemy)

MrX

Not very good IMO. I fell asleep during the middle of it. Grimes was one of my favorite one time only characters so this should have been better. Homer's remarks at the end were funny and so was Grimes tombstone.

Jackskeleton

It was nothing special. watchable.

Since the past few years have not been the same as it's earlier run, I was actually suprised to see this episode making me laugh as hard as in the past. (well, at least the first half)

The part when Moe was looking at the photos of him and the pickled egg jar...Classic Simpsons writing. But, unfortunately, it went downhill from there...LITERALLY in the case of Homer on the float

not very funny but i liked the story...as soon as i

It wasn't horrible, but a bit boring. I think it could have been much better.

Skull

It was good until Bob had to sing towards the end.

"Wait. I'm not wearing a shirt!"

That line had me laughing.

I just learned that my mother inlaw hates the Simpsons because "They're gross".

boggle.

MrN

Not as good as a Sideshow Bob episode should be.

But I liked it, because it refered to my favorite Simpsons episode. Ever.

BlackCapTen

I thought this was a very funny episode, especially compared to others this season. I predicted it would be somone from the Frank Grimes family... I bet my wife and won $10.

El-Kabong

Sigh - the show just keeps on getting worse and worse. It's like watching your randy uncle Fred waste away or something. The guy was funny as hell 10 years ago, but it's been time to pull the plug for a while. You just cant let go.

I'll continue to hang around, but it looks like I might have my sundays free in the near future.

Gizmo

I enjoyed seeing Frank Grimes again, I knew it was him or his son. However, I felt Sideshow Bob wasn't really used that much. I was a little dissapointed how he was kinda 'goofy'. Thats NOT SideShow Bob! Bob and Grimes are one of my two favorite characters, and it wa sgreat to see them once again.

Also, the song at the end, WTF? It went on waaaaay to long.

Jackskeleton

I'm sure a lot of you will "Still hang around" just to complain week in and week out.

You folks do have an option of changing the channel instead of just complaining about it.

bobbywilco

I agree, Jackskeleton. No reason to suffer through a show you don't like anymore. Plenty of other programming out there.

I thought it was a GREAT Simpsons. Lots of obscure references and hidden jokes. I'm going to watch it again later just to see if I caught all the subtle elements and background items.

movieking

I absolutely hated the first Frank Grimes episode, and thought that this was a huge step up.

Bust

Decent episode, the song at the end was uncomfortably bad.

"I've grown accostomed to your face."

That's not funny.

Groucho

People have been complaining about how great the show "used to be" and feeding the "worst episode ever" line almost since the beginning of the show. It's part of the mythos, I guess.
