Simpsons 2/9

I thought this was a funny episode.

The church party was great.

I also liked the second episode, which I have never seen before.

Fox is gonna get a few letters on this one, especially for the air guitar.

It's almost as if they were flaunting the umbrella-in-the-chalice, they showed it so prominently so many times.

The second worst episode so far this season (first place goes to "Helter Shelter"). It's basically a half-@$$ed version of "Homer the Heretic".

"Would you believe a pigeon stuffed with Spam...ok a rat stuffed with cough drops" Moe had some good lines tonight.
I thought it was ok. The scenes with the church party were funny.

I dunno, I didn't really care for it - it could be because last weeks was so entertaining. Whatever it was, tonight's ep just wasn't all that good, *shrug*

had a few moments though.

It wasn't the best, Had some good lines. I really didn't care for the constant Moe jokes. they are making him even more scummy then ever before.

I didn't think it was much like Homer the Heretic, in that one he basically swears off church religion just to stay home and watch football (classic episode btw), very solitary episode about Homer and his family, here it's more about Homer and the community hanging out and trashing the church. If anything it's more like the episode where Mr. Burns buys the church and turns it into a store, or maybe better yet, a cross between Homer getting Burns' mansion for partying, Homer the heretic, and Mr Burns buying the church.

I liked it though. Lots good laughs.

BTW I was watching to see if they were going to turn Barnie back into an alcoholic, I think that's one of the longest running plot lines ever (other than stuff like Lisa plays the sax). I don't think they did, but when Moe in disguise lured him away, I thought for sure he would be off the wagon. I guess he wised up at some point before he got to the bar.

Simpsons "Pray Anything"

Yeah it was "meh"... but it broke even by the end of the episode... I laughed hard when it started to flood and Flanders pulled out the Arc out of his garage... saying something like "Well [God?], we rounded up two of every animal -- but only the males..... We don't want any hanky panky."

(Flanders hears squawking and looks back in sideview mirror):

"HEY there!! Cut that out!"

Question: did anyone hear the lines where Flanders (I think) was talking about how the men at the church had broken almost all of the commandments —_then off screen you heard Lenny and Carl say something and Flanders said, "All of them." (I'm doing this from memory so sorry if the lines aren't right.) Anyway, what did Lenny and Carl say? I missed those lines.

Lenny said something about "coveting" a food item (Chili Fries?), and Carl said something along the lines of "I hear that!"

Mildly funny. The ark and the air guitar were great. So was holding services at the bowling alley. But there weren't enough great moments.

Pretty much sums up my feelings. Some of the episodes the past few years just wouldn't even try to make sense and got very weird. This one at least had a plot and some good jokes. That's why I keep coming back.

What's this about an ark? I guess I left the room before the end. Curses! Anyone know what the episode was called, I wanna see if I can Kazaa it.

From: Work. Or commuting. Certainly not at home.
The biggest laugh I got, outside of the ark, was the chalkboard gag ("Spongebob is not a contraceptive"). Otherwise a weak episode.
