The Simpsons -- "Smoke On The Daughter" -- 03/30/08
 

"Smoke on the Daughter"

First Aired: Sunday March 30, 2008

The Homer/Bart subplot sounds like it has potential. Too bad it's 2008 and not 1996, though.

Ballet stuff was awesome. Great episode.

"Puff with us!"

"I can't believe how easy it is to get cigarettes in this country."

"You'll never take down Big Ballet."

I was laughing pretty hard when Marge pulled out that lop-sided bra.

I would have liked a reference to the time Bart did ballet. Overall, I thought the episode was pretty blah. A couple laughs, but completely forgettable and the ballet instructor wasn't funny, just annoying.

Funniest gag is when Busby left the studio and got on a bus, doing jazz hands the whole time.

Good, cohesive story, lots of funny, funny gags - this was an excellent episode. I think this season's had about five of those, which I believe is a record since about the 11th season.

Great episode. Really enjoyed Bart in the Apocalypse Now reference.

I loved the CSI: Miami parody and Lisa's comeback to Comic-Book Guy. :lol:

Best episode of the season for me. Any episode with Jazz Hands is a true winner.
It's episodes like this that makes me want to knife the people that keep sayign this show should be cancelled. Cancel it and we'll lose out on classic gags like that.

The character and his exit are referencing Roy Schieder's performance as Bob Fosse in All That Jazz. (Which came out in 1979!)

This episode was lame. First it starts off with a spoof of the final Harry Potter book then morphs into an unfocused story that neither really features Marge, Lisa, Bart or Homer enough to make it funny.

Ballerina: They don't call these dancer sticks for nothing!
Lisa: I thought they were cancer sticks.
Ballerina (with cigarettes in her ears): I dan't dear do!

Everyone is being sarcastic, right?

Lisa centric episodes never disappoint, they always suck. Boring.

After last week episode this was really bad.

After last weeks? They were both bad.

I wish they could have stuck with Homer and Bart making jerkey!!

How funny would that have been seeing homer sell the Jerky to convenience stores in Shelbyville and to Apu.

I liked the reference to All that Jazz I don't know how many people picked up on that if they were not over 30.
