The Simpsons -- "Father Knows Worst" -- 04/26/09

"Father Knows Worst"
Spoiler:
When Homer observes Bart and Lisa struggling in certain aspects of their academic and social lives at school, he becomes a proponent of "helicopter parenting," the process of closely monitoring a child and forcing them to succeed.

OK episode. But I totally loved the swimming part to the couch.

Great arrangement of the Simpsons theme at the end. Apparently it was made two years ago:

Loved the couch gag but I quit after Homer took his pants off in the cafeteria. I just found the whole sequence of events up to that point unfunny so I didn't bother continuing.

The sauna sub-plot didn't amount to much. I'm sure we'll never see it again either.

The whole scenario that Marge thought of was pretty damn funny.

I thought it was the funniest in years. Especially the couch gag and the Homercopter (this is old-school Homer antics). The sauna plot was thin, but had its place.

Not as good as the one Homer had: Marge waterskiing on a Stegosaurus...

No comments about the tongue?

Doctor: Your sex life will be affected by the accident.
Marge: Don't worry doctor, he can write whatever he wants.

Something like that. How risky!

I thought it was good, my only problem was Fox 4 in KC was cutting in and out of HD for severe weather updates.
