It was alright, I guess. A couple of good bits, but (much like last week) it felt like it was cobbled together from older episodes.

Loved The Homer Show!

Other than that, I thought there was too much Jewish humor, and I just didn't get most of it (being non-Jewish).

Sure it's funny to see Mr. T spin on a minorrah, but a lot of the jokes kind of sailed past me...

It had it's moment's:

Ralph Wiggum - "I eat Legos." :lol:

Groucho 12-08-03 10:12 AM

I missed Barney's line that got him booted from the show. What did he say?

pezboy 12-08-03 10:23 AM

"Disco Stu knows his place"

Great episode :)

For everybody that doesn't enjoy the Simpsons as much as, say, 10 years ago--and I'm defintely included...

What would YOU want to see more of? Is there something you are looking for that just isn't there like it used to be? Whether it was a formula regarding plots, a certain re-acurring character, etc.

Do you think the show could do anything to attempt to get it to the status it once held? Or do you think it's just an old show and therefore simply isn't as great as it once was?

I want a realistic, down-to-earth show... that's completely off-the-wall and swarming with magic robots. And also, you should win things by watching.

I think the fact the series has run for close to 15 years is one of it's biggest problems right now: everything has been done to death already.

South Park may of invented the "Simpsons did it" saying, but it's applying more and more to Simpsons itself every episode.

Anybody else have this expectation? ;)

Heh, yeah me too. I was hoping that Homer would look out at the window and yell something like, "Hey! What about that guy?"

Lisa:"I tried the coathanger again. I don't understand why we only try things once"
Knock at the door, enter Santa's Little Helper's puppies :D

One of the scenes in the Season 3 DVDs has Homer looking for chocolate ice cream in the freezer. He goes through 3 or 4 cartons of Neapolitan ice cream and the chocolate is gone from every single one of them . He tells Marge, "We need more chocolate, vanilla, strawberry ice cream" In the commentary they said that bit was actually held over from another episode which had no room for it, so they put it in "the joke file." Then someone said, "I think we lost that joke file. I think The Family Guy stole it." :lol:

One pretty funny part:

Bart asks Lisa how she knows so much about the Talmud, etc.

"I have an imaginary Jewish friend named *something* Coen."

Rabbi Krustofsky: "That's wonderful!"

The rabbi says wonderful because Lisa also mentions her imaginary friend got into a presitigous school.

I agree with you Chew.. just in that episode.. Lisa says"I tried the coathanger again. I don't understand why we only try things once"
Knock at the door, enter Santa's Little Helper's puppies.. and Lisa pulls out the Simpsons book to see if it had happened already...

They get that have started to run out of ideas, but make fun of it.. Pretty creative

(stole a little from Roto)
