I’ll miss Sarah too!!!

I’ve felt that the show was a little toothless up until now. Having it dive full-on into black comedy was an excellent choice.

This was probably my favorite episode this season as even if I kind of agree that there weren’t any classic sketches, the general energy and attitude was so tremendous that I just found myself smiling and giggling through the whole show. It started from the cold open as you could almost feel that the cast thought they…

I liked this one a lot. Might even go into A grade territory for this one. It’s been awhile since they’ve done a Bart story that’s actually a “Bart story” in that the focus is on him and what a mischievous 10 year old boy would do as opposed to their usual offerings of using Bart as a device to kick off like 10…

Is this the first time Skinner’s hairpiece ever made it on-screen? I thought that was one of those lost writers’ bible jokes that only made it into tie-ins, like Marge’s bunny ears. Speaking off, good touch on the deep lore with Skinner being born in, and immediately moving out of, New Orleans meaning he’s a sucker…

More than a few musical guests have complained about the sound quality in the studio.

My review of getstoney’s review of Dennis: B

Matt is the best part of the show. 

simpsons wiki says his wife’s name is Tenille (of course it is), but who knows if that’s accurate.

I do not understand Judd from scene to scene. He goes from self involved egomaniac doofus to borderline sociopath to sad sack neurotic. I get Matt. He puts on a facade of cheerfulness but is not so secretly loving the chaos. 

Its ironic that Harry Shearer, the voice actor for Mr Burns, is now the age that Mr Burns was when the show first started. Marge Simpson’s voice actor Julie Kavner started her career as Rhoda’s little sister in 1973. Now she’s 6 months away from turning 70. I’m starting to feel sorry for the Simpsons cast. Even postal…

Everything in this episode felt like a retread of older episodes. Unexpected windfall to the town leads to wacky town meeting where Marge nags everyone? It’s “Marge vs. the Monorail.” Homer is worried about automation at the plant? It’s “Them, Robot.” Bart finally likes school while Lisa is suspicious of something…

i give it one “meh.”

“it suggests that co-head writers Jost and Che are more concerned with amusingly jabbing at each other and at inconsequential laugh lines than in making use of their guaranteed platform to do anything particularly original or daring.”

I think the show has pretty consistently pointed out how bad Buttigieg is on race. Generally they seem to avoid harder issues, which is why the 4Chan line threw me and felt inappropriate. I doubt Lorne cares much for Bernie but most of the time I think the criticisms of SNL’s writing for him are overblown. This time I…

Most of the online ire in these wee hours is coming from Bernie supporters angry at David’s Bernie claiming to be “the most popular guy on 4chan,”

It was also a very rough night technically. In the library sketch, the camera cuts were late. RuPaul would be sitting, holding a book for a minute, while someone off screen had a line. It was rough enough that it made me wonder if the Bieber Green Screen was unused simply because they couldn’t get it to work. (I’m…

Peyton Manning and Charles Barkley were both good hosts, particularly if you grade on a bit of a curve for athletes/non-actors which I think is only fair to do.

"AKA 'Spinster" and 'No Thanks'….." Yes, there were too many good lines to quote - this was a fucking riot. You're the only one I trust, Puffin….
