It is the movie that gave us the immortal tagline "And this time it's personal."

Couple of moments not mentioned yet: Marge running into Homer on the street and him insisting that this WAS his work.
I hate that that episode is so disliked, because it's one of my favorites. The Killer Robot Driving Instructor Who Goes Back in Time for Some Reason is one of my favorite things from the show ever, and also the three Hollywooders trying to get onto the RV, especially Ron Howard totally whiffing it. So many good lines:…
Oh, I'm so disappointed to find that site www.whatbadgerseat.com no longer exists! It did for so long!
Uh, that never happened, did it?
I don't know, I watched the first two episodes and it seemed like business as usual to me. Does it get better?
It's like they fucking shrank the real Cece. I always do a double take.
So a big step up from the usual?
Also the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, which would have been my guess. I didn't think there was anything left of the Temple of Artemis, but I do know that at least chunks of sculptures from the Mausoleum exist in a British museum. We don't even know where the Hanging Gardens were.
I love the flashback with the dead mountaineer eating the canned pancakes and then drinking the pancake juice.
What happens to Ben Stiller at the end of the first episode made me laugh harder than anything else this year. I wish the season was a tad tighter, but it was definitely a lot of fun.
"Yeah, he said 'Maybe you guys should be called The Blue Jean Committee,' and Clarke just beat the shit out of him."
That and that bitchy store owner who chewed Louie out for not being good enough to buy her products pissed me off so much I'm quite happy to see the show left off (though I still mostly loved it).
I was super disappointed in it myself. In four episodes, there might have been three big laughs. It felt like it was trying hard to be the old Mr. Show, but it wasn't succeeding.
Hell no. Even in its "classic seasons" they were churning out, what, two or three memorable episodes a season?
I think of them as that band whose lead singer overdosed on heroin right before they blew up. Plenty of lead singers od'ed after they got big, but that guy did it like right before.
Bel Biv Devoe…
The ending of that episode, with the State Comptroller Atkins puppet, is one of the funniest bits the show has ever done.
I think the Bozo show ran like 2 hours, too, didn't it? I remember it lasting forever when I was a kid.
I like the idea that she's following Lisa around, waiting to throw cats at her.
