Simpsone 3/30
 

Well... I won't write a spoiler tag, but I will just say that it was not a good episode... it had its moment but nothing too special although Millhouse made me laugh at the end of the episode.

Homer saved it from completely circling the drain, as any episode centered around Lisa usually does.


"I wish God was alive to see this, sniff" rotfl

Pretty subpar episode, IMO. I was expecting more involvement from Eric Idle.

9.5/10

Best episode of the season so far. Just about everything worked in this episode. The only lame jokes were the alien asteroid and (despite a good use of the joke) another Carl and Lenny is gay reference. Otherwise it was a fine episode with a coherent plot that got started right from the first minute.

BTW, tonight's Futurama was great too.

I guess I'm going to be in the minority on this one. I thought this was one of the best episodes I've seen in years. Everything in it worked for me, and I was :lol: almost the whole time. The absurdity of the whole "perma-noon" setting on the dimmer switch was hilarious.

Not to mention what everyone was seeing in the stars when they first dimmed the lights:
Mr. Burns - dollar sign
Cletus - cent sign rotfl
Flanders - star of david
Lenny - Carl

Fat Tony's crew beating up the bird! :lol:

"Hey, you're not John Ritter!"
"Andy you're not that gorilla from the zoo!"

Yep, I thought it was hilarious.

And it DIDN'T revolve around Homer!

It was OK.

Great episode!


That scene when one of the meteors struck, Professor Frink is going on about providing proof of outerspace life forms and the little green alien tells him "shut up",

That was hilarious!

Also Krusty stapling the burger halves together and then Milhouse at the end in the documentary, rotfl

I thought it was a hilarious episode. One of the better ones I've seen this season.

"This sash makes me Ultra Man":lol:

I thought it was ok. The documentray at the end was hilarious especially the part with Milhouse

"Live from New York, It's saturday night." Marge.... :lol:

One question though, whatever happend to the intro? I've always enjoyed reading what Bart writes on the chalkboard during the intro, now it's shorten to just the going to the couch scene. :(

But nonetheless, this episode was :lol: :lol:

I didn't think it was all that great. Futurama was about 10x better tonight.

You forgot the best one. Carl - Carl.

SuperJim, they usually use the long intro. Sometimes they'll shorten the intro to get in a few extra minutes for the show... or more commercials.

Didn't Bart destroy it in the 304th episode..?

Disappointing ep. Especially after last weeks..

Milhouse at the end was the only thing that saved it..

refresh my memory.. what was the milhouse thing at the end?

The Milhouse thing was about him saying how he was going to hit play baseball when he grew up & then there was a montage of his futility at the plate (both against a live pitcher & off of a tee). Pretty funny stuff.

And Frink throwing the microscope was pretty quality.

oh yeah.. that was great

The Milhouse thing was the best part of that horrid episode.

I hope it gets way better next week.

they were on a roll recently with some pretty solid episodes in the last few weeks, but this one was just alright... the milhouse bit was great and the stars in the sky bit was funny, but other than that, it was just alright...

This episode sure is running the gambit from "best in years" to pretty "subpar"

I just thought it was: m'eh

Well, maybe not everyone was as stoned out of their mind as I was last night. I'll rewatch it sober and post the results. I have a feeling I'm still going to love it though!

Otto mentioned that the stars looked cool and he wasn't even on drugs, but that they sure would enhance it.

I guess we'll see what your results are. :D

Pretty sub-par season in general

Very funny episode, laughed out loud several times. The Homer quote where he "wishes God was alive" made me laugh the most. Did they make reference to the planet "Rigel 7" existing?

Some well deserved chuckles and laughs, but no real bellylaughs.

'Drab' sums it up for me.....

Decent. At least it didn't have a really terrible ending (except for homer spinning on the ground).

I liked Rapph's interview at the end. "I'm going to live with underground grandma!" :lol:

Consistent mild amusement. I laughed maybe once or twice. It was better than most of the last couple of seasons. Eric Idle vs Lisa was funny, as was Marge ironing the yellow pages.

During the Planetarium scene, the narrator said something like, "the Milky Way, home of that familiar blue ball known as...Rigel 7" or something like that.

Not a very good ep, IMO. Got only a couple of chuckles out of me, but no laughs. Looking over the thread, I realize there were a lot of funny moments which didn't strike me as funny at the time. Maybe this ep will be a "grower".

I liked the "orange alert" comment.

I watched this episode twice and thought there were a bunch of good lines:

Lisa: I'm into music, science, justice, animals, shapes, feelings.....

Marge: You haven't touched your dinnerables!

Kent B.: Look out Matthew Modine and Charline Tilton...

Homer to Lisa: You're overreacting, talking gumball machine.

Kearney (?): It's darker than a French girls armpit.

And of course, Homer's Mmmmmmm.... Bad Eggs.....

I'm into music, science, justice, animals, shapes, feelings.....

"Face it! You'll be 38 and managing a Barnes & Noble!"

"When you think of documentary filmmakers you may think of the Maysles Brothers..."

(kids in totally dazed silence)

"...well they're not fit to wipe my lense!"

"This is cooler than our screen saver, and I *love* our screen saver. "

Not a bad episode itself, but compared to the last two it was kind of weak.

A mediocre episode, as too many Lisa ones seem to be. So Lisa destroys the entire power system in Springfield so people can see a few chunks of flaming rock hurtling through the sky? I don't like how preachy the Lisa episodes have become the last several seasons, and this one fell into the same trap, even though I agree with a lot of what it was saying it didn't make it particularly funny.

Hmmm... It seems like everybody here really don't like Lisa?! -eek-

People, is this true?
