Simpsons 01/16/05

Pretty good episode. I especially liked the Huey Lewis video, with the attention to detail (it is the "red suit" video after all), and the scenes in Canada.

The Canadians definitely will love this one.

One of the better episodes I've seen in a LONG time!

Since I missed it, i'm hoping it wasn't as good as I thought it might be..

well, at least until I can "find" it..

Not bad, not bad at all. One of the better ones in a while. Hopefully this trend will continue.

No mention of gay weddings? Well, with an entire episode coming up dealing with it, I guess they didn't want to use it too much.

Liked the Flanders relative offering Ned a toke

Wow.

I thought this one was bad - and not "bad for Simpsons, but better than everything else out there", but just bad all around - tired jokes written by tired writers. I was kind of enjoying this season up until this episode.

And I'm usually a huge Simpsons apologist, but I cannot lie.

I laughed more at Arrested Development's commercial than I did at this entire Simpsons episode.

Apu: "Help me Shiva!"
Flanders: "Why don't you just call to Hawkman?"

Whew, I thought I was the only one.....

A very weak episode IMO.

I was the opposite. I was pleasantly surprised by the Simpsons, and really disappointed by Arrested Development.

The dueling Flanders' was worth the price of admission.
