The Simpsons Season 17 (1 Viewer)

This week's episode was much better than last week's. My favorite bit was Homer's sign that read 'Death To America' (with the America crossed out) and 'Stamp Museum' in its place.

It's funnier in the episode than how I wrote it

I was looking at the upcoming episodes, and there's one called "The Italian Bob." Does this mean we're getting a new Sideshow Bob episode? If so, YES!!!

 

[WillG]

Yeah, last night's episode seemed better than the one that preceeded it. I liked the cemetary gags, especially how the construction workers were working to make it creepier. Unfortunately, my attention was diverted in the last third of the episode by a conversation that I was drawn into so I don't remember exactly what happened.

 

[AnthonyC]

It was a good episode; a lot better than last week.

Yes, "The Italian Bob" is a Sideshow Bob episode

 

[Michael Harris]

The couch gag with Gumby was very original and funny.

 

[Cavan.B]

This past week's had some good stuff:

- The O.C. parody (if The Simpsons make fun of it, you know it's bad)
- Homer's magazine in the car on traffic ticket: Cat Fancy
- In a similar vein, the Hip Punishments mag (mmmmmm...blended iPod)

 

[Sam Favate]

Tonight is a repeat, right? Surprised that there would be no new episode already, but I guess they're done until after Baseball.

 

[TravisR]

Yeah, it's a rerun from last season. Depending on how long the World Series lasts, I believe there's a rerun on October 30 and Treehouse Of Horror XVI the week after.

It was better than the last 2 episodes, but I think they've used up their quota of "Homer and Marge separate" episodes for the year.

 

[MickeS]

That parody was so lame. I didn't get the point of it... maybe it's just me. There is plenty of stuff in "The O.C." that would lend itself to parody, but it actually seemed like the writers had never watched "The O.C." at all, since none of what was shown was very O.C.-like.

 

[TheLongshot]

No one talking about last week's episode? I actually thought it was pretty good. Everyone getting sick because they aren't used to eating vegatables.

I think the lack of discussion is due to this episode being a repeat.

 

[Ted Lee]

people still watch this show?

----

actually i just started watching it again after about a four year hiatus. no particular reason why i stopped ... just did. considering how long i've been away, i do enjoy watching it again ... but it just doesn't have the same "magic" it used to.

 

[TheLongshot]

Must have missed it last season. Anyways, it was still pretty good.

Edit: odd to put in a repeat right before going on hiatus for baseball....

Tonight's episode was an instant classic, which comes as no surprise considering it was written by John Frink. I think everyone should be able to guess what my favorite joke was.

 

[Henry Gale]

Will you be disappointed if I tell you I have no idea?

 

[TravisR]

"Plagirismo"
and
"Plagirismo di plagirismo"

Forgive my attempts at Italian.

Unfortunately, that was the only joke I laughed at (and I find Family Guy to be OK though I'll never understand why it's as popular as it is). For a Sideshow Bob episode, I was hoping for more.

 

[NickSo]

i'm a big family guy fan, and i laughed my ass off at the plagarisimo joke. love the playful ribbing simpsons have against family guy.

kinda like how when shows make fun of canada, i laugh.

 

[Sam Favate]

I agree that last night's episode was great, the best yet this season by far. Looking forward to the Treehouse of Christmas stories or whatever the next one is called.

 

[MarkHastings]

I was kind of disappointed that they brought back Sideshow Bob because the last episode he was in, made it sound like it was his last.

The whole "I'm accustomed to your face" bit would have been a perfect ending to his charater appearance.

Oh well, still a good episode. After the Family Guy rip, I started wondering if Sideshow Bob's kid was a rip off of Stewie?
