Martin's head as the suggestion box
Everyone looking at Smithers
Moe was hilarious in the first part

So now the question is... are they 2 weeks ahead of the new Poseidon movie, 34 years behind the old version, or 5 months behind the TV version?

I was thinking at how coincidental it was that there was a Poseidon part in there and how the movie is coming out so soon. Isn't it a WB flick too? So it's not likely a tie in for Fox, but more a coincidence.

Other than the "don't know how to end it" ending, pretty good episode.

I loved Marge's line about having Bart tell the second story because it's usually the weakest.

Yeah, Lisa's story was a standalone classic. The others were still OK as well. Good episode. This season is shaping up to be one of the best.

Good episode. Unfortunately I missed the first 5 minutes, as my DVR didn't read it as a new episode. Guess that'll teach me to not have my ass on the couch at 7pm CST on Sunday.

I thought seafaring tales would have been hackneyed, but this ep was actually very funny.

Anytime the comic book guy dies, it is a good episode.

I also love the Poseidon parody the best. Anyone else catch Barney for a split second hanging on to his booze as the ship is flipping over instead of hanging on to something on the ship That was great.
