blackwing October 13, 2022 Share October 13, 2022 Episode 34.2, One Angry Lisa: Hated this episode. I hate when Marge gets all "I just want to do something for MEEEEEEEE for once". With these episodes, it seems it's always the same theme - Marge is overworked and underappreciated and just wanted some time for herself and poor Marge, everyone is all mad at her and yet she's just trying to survive blah blah blah. The Lisa storyline was utterly pointless. The one surprise was that I was expecting Sanctimonious Lisa to preach against the evils of big corporations and money and material items etc... and she really didn't. On 10/3/2022 at 11:09 AM, Tachi Rocinante said: One of the worst episodes in a long time. The Plympton short was awful, and the show went downhill from there. More "No Accountability Marge" and "Ignored Lisa". I did the like Moe's "really bad lighting". On 10/3/2022 at 12:46 PM, Spartan Girl said: It sucks that we were cheated out of Maggie delivering what could have been a beautiful “fuck you” to Marge. Really shows that she can’t handle any criticism from a freaking baby. Once again, the hypocrisy rankles that Marge gets to obsess over other men yet is still entitled to throw a psycho bitchfit over Homer having a platonic female friend. Agree with both comments. I didn't like the couch gag, is this artist supposed to be famous? It didn't make any sense and wasn't entertaining. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3625-the-simpsons-general-discussion/page/57/#findComment-7698966

Thanks to a pair of hacktivists, we pretty much got a new 22 Short Stories, but the shorts were able to be taken to strange, new places. So naturally this was easily one of my favorite episodes in a while. My favorite segments were the origin of the Charles Bronson Guy (an alien queen-like creature births them out), and Martin turning out to be a 36 year old narc. And then came the last act and (jokingly) confirmed both Eddie being Ralph's father, and the coma dream theory. Also loved "the dog segment", Chalmers flaying himself, and Frink in The Martian. Also really appreciated the montage of (most) of the show's cringiest moments. Both hacktivists being named Ashley was just a great capper. I hope we see them again. On 10/9/2022 at 8:27 PM, DoctorAtomic said: This was a great idea, but I wonder how they pitched it? Were these jokes just lying around? Because this was a lot to come up with. This was a fun episode. Question, was this all new animation, or were some clips re-used from old shows? I especially liked the clip when Future Bart went into the past to tell the family about things. The animation style was definitely the "old" style and not the crisp animation of the post-HD era. I loved the fit dude getting Homer's green radiation crystal and devolving into Hans Moleman. Loved the quick snippet of Homer eating the spit of gyros in the shower. And "if I press this button the only Hulk that exists will be Edward Norton". Would have been even better if she said Eric Bana, but it was still a great line. 3 hours ago, Lone Wolf said: I was afraid that it was really going to be Lisa vs. Bart in Boy Explorers, which sounded boring (in addition to having been done a million times). I ended up really enjoying it. 1 hour ago, Snow Apple said: I thought the same thing. Lisa and Bart at odds until something happens and they team up (or one saving other) and have a brother/sister bonding moment until the next episode. I bet they know what we were all thinking when they came up with that title and description. Well played, Simpsons. Yep. Since I loathe Lisa, as soon as I saw the title of the episode and then Lisa went on her usual "just because a girl doesn't mean I'm any less valid" rant, I rolled my eyes.

Galileo908 October 17, 2022 Share October 17, 2022 Krusty lost all his money investing in NFTs: Nonfunny TV Shows. I loved all the names of all the weird dog foods. "Anxiety Alpo" and "Soylent Fetch" were the funniest of the ones I caught. Lindsey Naegle was definitely more fitting of the Ellen DeGeneres terror than Krusty was. He just has to fake being nice and the money rolls in. Krusty's used to being a sellout and the daytime talk show audience were perfect marks: they laughed and cheered at anything because they were happy to be out of the house. Seems to let the name on the show off the hook, really. Of course it's the first show where he's NOT responsible for the toxic work environment. Sigh, it's another episode where Marge becomes a terrible person. Blowing off an intervention has to be near the gutter for her. Getting tossed in the PTSD (Post Talk Show Disorder) loony bin was a fitting end for Lindsey Naegle. "Once you have enough episodes of a any classic show, why would you keep making more?" Definitely explains why Bart was okay with Krusty being a sellout again. I wanna see Krust+.

Galileo908 October 24, 2022 Share October 24, 2022 Had computer trouble last night, but I’m here! Season 34, ep 5: Treehouse of Horror Presents: Not IT Quote When a supernatural clown starts slaying the children of Kingfield, young Homer Simpson teams up with other middle school misfits to face their fears and defeat the mysterious monster. Airs 10/23/22 I thought this one was pretty fun, and I could see why only one segment wouldn’t have done this justice. I’d say this was pretty light on laughs, but more focused on scares. I liked how the kids were shocked that their “whimsical kid weapons” didn’t work on Krusty (loved Homer rocking the Power Glove), and getting genuine laughter was the key to killing him. Marge and CBG was a pairing I didn’t see coming. I did like alternate Bart and Lisa, with Lisa as the sarcastic troublemaker and Bart being the nerd. Noticed missing posters for Apu and Frank Grimes, and caught Nelson’s two lackeys among the spirits at the end. 12 hours ago, DoctorAtomic said: Bleach your mustache! You look like El Debarge!

I enjoyed it, I liked the idea of this clown materialising every 27 years. I greatly dislike Comic Book Guy (even this alternate incarnation) so I was ticked when he stole Homer's poem and thought it was fantastic when he died, making a noble sacrifice, only for Marge to tell him that it doesn't make up for him lying to her for years.

bettername2come November 4, 2022 Share November 4, 2022 That was good. I liked seeing a Maggie-centric segment, the anime was gorgeous, and the self-referential nostalgia was great. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3625-the-simpsons-general-discussion/page/57/#findComment-7735348

Galileo908 November 14, 2022 Share November 14, 2022 Couch gag: the family as breakfast! With gravy! Loved seeing Duffman through the decades. And of course he keeps getting into trouble by spraying beer in women’s lawyer offices. How many times has Homer met Duffman now? And how many times has Homer BEEN Duffman? And once again Homer is a considered a good dad because another one is worse. (Most of them were at PF Thongs with him!) I appreciated that he became the mascot of his daughter’s dispensery in the end. Lisa being into K-Pop is perfectly in character. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3625-the-simpsons-general-discussion/page/57/#findComment-7748692
Snow Apple November 14, 2022 Share November 14, 2022 I don't know why Lisa keeps getting her hopes up when it comes to Homer. Did she really think he'd take her to the Agatha Christie museum without complaint? She should know he wouldn't do anything for her without a selfish motive. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3625-the-simpsons-general-discussion/page/57/#findComment-7750094
blackwing November 16, 2022 Share November 16, 2022 It was obviously telegraphed that Homer was going to choose Duffman over Lisa and the Agatha Christie museum. But I really loved that they apparently made it there as we saw in the end credits. I'm trying to figure out how, since the lady said they would be closed for three months, but maybe she made an exception. As an Agatha Christie fan, I personally would love that museum. That photo is something I would totally geek out and line up to do! Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3625-the-simpsons-general-discussion/page/57/#findComment-7753242

Galileo908 November 21, 2022 Share November 21, 2022 (edited) Don’t know what’s weirder: Melissa McCarthy voicing a little boy, or Abe actually being happy. It sucks that Calvin and Lisa were in separate plots. I feel like they’ve gotten along. Hell, with his prank war with Homer, he was Bart and Lisa rolled into one kid. Boo, Blythe and Calvin got written off in the tag. I do like that googly eyed shells is what got Homer’s resentment through to Abe. Those two really do deserve each other. And Homer will always be right about sending him to the crappy Retirement Castle the first chance he got. “To unprocessed trauma!” You said it, Moe. Lenny had to clean pool covers from the bottom?! That’s a new one for me. As someone who spent time in retirement homes, I’m surprised Bart & Lisa’s parties weren’t shut down like immediately.

DoctorAtomic November 21, 2022 Share November 21, 2022 I don't know how they got away with those parties. Old people are nosey. I liked all the activities going on behind the closed door while Bart and Lisa were freaking out in the hall way. Something about the climbing wall falling on the pony. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3625-the-simpsons-general-discussion/page/57/#findComment-7759389
