also, it's too easy to think that Bob was simply OK with being taught to grow up as a con-man's son. The opening scene of the pilot where they show him as a little kid was portrayed in a somewhat sad context. There's got to be some resentment within Bob - and we got to see a little of that tonight, surely there will

nah, see it would get too stale if we saw them on a regular basis. But I like the question in principle so here's a few more I can think of…

David is new to reviewing the show for a grade (presumably) but if this was a "D" we're going to need a new grading scale for the next episode when 18-24 year-old-celebrity-of-the-moment hosts the show around mid-season and the cast is clearly just going through the motions.

No, see that would be too original.

Fourthed: I just assumed it was the actors having some fun with a season intro and, in a way, showing us that they are down-to-earth enough that they don't take the show overly seriously.

Emperor Jim:

Who robs cavefish of their sight?

glad he cleared it up at the end. I've been telling my wife for weeks now that he's black while she's insisted he's hispanic. I know he once said his wife is Puerto Rican, maybe that's where some of the confusion came from?

Damnit, sorry Mesotheleona Helmsley - I have no idea how the hell I missed reading your comment.

Interesting thing happened to me a number of years ago. I purchased a copy of Emergency and I at a record store. A friend of mine in college introduced me to it a few years after it came out and I was hooked. The design on the case and the CD I bought was the emergency and I artwork. But the disk itself was

I enjoy revisiting classic simpsons as much as the next guy, but I just have to say that I think this is the worst episode of the series that I watched - which for me goes up to season 9 or 10. The animation is terrible even by season 1 standards. It felt like it was already the 3rd or 4th episode that was about

actually, at this point I wouldn't mind it if Benjamin Linus came in and murdered Micheal Scott in an "accidental" gas leak and took over Dunder Mifflin in the most violent way possible.

NO NOISE

The producers have really dialed down the douchebag factor with Angelo - showing him joking with others around the house/kitchen. I guess they've given up trying to force him as the villian since the Angelo v. Kenny finale didn't work out as they had hoped. I actually felt concerned watching because I didn't want to

too soon?

Britney
If there's one thing I think of when I think of Britney Spears' newer stuff, it's anesthesia-hallucination music.

The Black Eyed Peas make rock music?

Mr. Simpson, how do you respond to the charges that petty vandalism such as graffiti is down 80 percent, while heavy sack-beatings are up a shocking 900 percent?

Some Enchanted Evening gets my vote for worst episode of the series. Although I don't know much of anything after season 10. But it feels like it's about the 3rd Homer and Marge-fighting episode of season 1, the animation is by the far the worst, and the ending is pure Looney-Tunes cartoony. No matter how dumb

Jurrasic Bark is right up there with beginning of "Up"-level of sadness. but it's easily one of the best episodes.
