What the shit?

@avclub-9ad2f925a32643f541b183503f33a8c6:disqus I agree that season 7 is filled with many classics, but, for me, "Scenes From a Class Struggle In Springfield" isn't one of them.  I've always found it, overall, surprisingly boring and forgettable.  Again, just based on my own tastes.

Wow.  When it comes to season 7, that episode, in my memory, is just a big "SCENE MISSING" insert.  There are some good lines, and I don't actively hate it or anything, but overall that episode has always bored me so much (and I mean from when it first aired) that I really do completely forget about it until I break…

I'm pretty sure that it was cut in the syndicated eps, as I probably saw this episode in syndication about 40 times and only about 20 times on the DVD, and it always seems newish to me.

I've always been partial to the SGC2C ep where the producers do a commentary on the producers' moms' commentary of the classic "Kentucky Nightmare" episode.

The main reason I eventually bought season 9 was to get Cartridge Family and one other episode I'm forgetting now.  The NYC episode is…alright.  I love the opening act ("Isotopes!" ::sprays fire extinguisher::), but that's about it.

Well, if you haven't already done it, here you go:

@avclub-5a1c0dcc8243c086c74ee944052f6f0f:disqus Ugh, yeah - that is a horrible fucking term.

The sequencing of the episode seems to imply that Homer called Marge before the emergency services arrived, but who knows?

IMHO is still around?  That's one of those early Internet acronyms that I thought had mostly gone by the wayside, or, at least, wasn't used by teens/20-somethings today.

@AnneNoise:disqus Your eyes are gonna piss tears.

I'm tempted to say that "Marge On The Lam" and "Bart's Inner Child" form my personal favorite back-to-back coupling, but if I did the research I'd probably say this about 20 other episode couplings.  Still, it places high, at the very least.

I like the animation of him eating the popsicle on the couch later while watching TVs with the kids.  I'm always a sucker for when a Simpsons character is animated with his/her eyelids half-closed and just looking as lazy and shiftless as can be.

@GuyIncognitoII:disqus I just watched the DVD with the subtitles on, and it said "Thoc", which made me happy, as that's how I'd always heard it.

You can still get Coke in glass bottles (6 packs or sometimes singles in the cooler) in most of the supermarket's where I live, but they cost more than their non-glass size-equivalents.

God, I love this episode.  A few of my favorite bits I haven't seen noted yet (might've missed 'em, though):

I was just thinking the other day about how fucking funny her line is about how they can't leave Springfield because "Bart's lawyer is here!" (in You Only Move Twice).

Seriously.  What the fuck, @KyleRyan:disqus ?  What kind of professional music critic actually writes the line "Scotland’s finest chroniclers of regret, booze, and booze-fueled regret" and doesn't follow up that line with "Arab Strap".  I haven't really heard much Frightened Rabbit, and I got nothing against them…

HAM V MAN!

As a Bengals fan, the idea of a Bengals bandwagon existing, let alone being overloaded, confuses and amuses me.
