I thought the Halloween episode where Homer cloned himself this year paid homage to Family Guy (when they are panning through the clones, Peter shows up in as one of the Homer clones - along with the Tracy Ullman-era Homer!)

As for Sunday's episode... It was alright.

Anyway, while this episode wasn't the 'worst episode ever,' imho, it wasn't one of the best. I like Flanders's debate with reality vs. religion, and it did make him more of a real person, but I would also like to see it come back in the future, with not necessarily regret, but with him having some second thoughts or a crisis of conscience about it. I actually didn't really like the chip thing; granted, she was attractive, but I don't really see Homer as a drooling, T&A staring troglodyte--the instances where he is tempted by others, the focus isn't so much on the appearance of the girl, but her personality and things they have in common [like the episode where, argh, can't remember her name, the blonde woman starts working at SNPP and she and Homer become King and Queen of Nuclear Power, or whatever.]

I thought the ending was particularly out of character for Ned, especially how he didn't seem to have any regrets the next morning. There were a few good bits, but overall I thought it was pretty lame.

"She had more stars on her than Lisa's homework"
(or something like that)
I thought it was a pretty risque episode between that line and the one about the vegetables. Not that I mind.
