I missed the Whacking Day episode when it first appeared, and had a chance to catch it on syndicated re-run yesterday.  God, what a trivial piece of crap that was!!!  I wished I had missed it again!!!  Things I hated about it…
Homer's "ninja" scene:  Homer practicing his "whacking" techniques on mechanical, pop-up…

It's also annoying to bring back characters, i.e Roger Meyers 
and Arne Ziff (?), and not bring back the actors who did the 
voices originally.  They're obviously trying for some continuity 
(as usual), but if they can't do it right, don't do it at all.

"The Adventures of Ned Flanders" confirms that the writers are running out of ideas.  Lame filler if I ever saw it.  This shouldn't be confused with the first Itchy & Scratchy short "Dazed and Contused", which needed to be lame for the plot.

"Lisa the Beauty Queen S-U-C-K-S. Worst episode EVER."

This was absolutely the worst episode ever.  It isn't even worthy to be compared to the bottom of the list of previous episodes.  It was as if scabs took over, what migth happen if The Simpsons got sold to another network.  This was a living example of what would happen if The Simpsons were written like any other…

The shot of young Burns was from 1909, when he looked to me to be about five or six.  but in "Simpson and Delilah", Burns states that his age is 81 ("Simpson, how old do you think I am?" "I dunno, 102?" "I'm only 81…").  This would make the year in which Simpson and Delilah took place be 1985 or so.  But the first…

Just have to say, just like all the posts I've been reading, that this week's episode (I think it's 9F15) definitely ranks up there as one of the ten funniest episodes I've ever seen. My personal favorite….The part when Homer keeps hearing, "Dental Plan….Lisa needs braces….Dental Plan……Lisa needs braces" and then they…

Does anyone else feel that perhaps the Simpsons are finally running low on gas? The story lines are getting more and more disjointed and surreal. In addition, the "Last Exit to Springfield had a LOT of dead air sequences that went on too long, as if they ran out of jokes and were trying to fill space between…
