I think The Italian Bob from Season 17 might be my pick for
Worst. Episode. Ever.

Okay, Bruce Springsteen and the E. Street Band are playing the next Superbowl XLIII halftime.

I was at a pizza place last night when it aired. Apparently it was playing in the bar section, but the restaurant section was a bit below it, and we were sitting right next to the drop. My 2 year old nephew climbed up and was standing on the wood shelf by the row of plants looking through the space beneath the frosted glass for some reason. When I stood up, I realized he was watching the Simpsons, because it was on in the bar.

The beginning was pretty slow, but I ended up really liking the episode. I loved the Flanders/Homer chase scene.

Yeah, but a slow beginning to a show that's only like 20 minutes long is pretty bad :(

Man.. I keep onw anting to love this show but just cant anymore.
I enjoy watching it, but I know it isnt anywhere near its glory.

I'm kind of confused as to why the writers feel they are incapable of anything but movie sendups.
Springfield doesn't feel like an even semi-consistent setting anymore, but even more of a joke vehicile than ever a la.. dare I say it... family guy.

Cool.

The video for The Simpsons season premiere is up at imdb video.

Just go under "New TV Episodes" and press the arrow to the right to scroll to it.

Tonight's new one, "Lost Verizon," was a good episode.

Eh, I liked last weeks better. This one was alright though.

I really liked tonight's. It was really entertaining and pretty funny, if not classically good, but I have determined that the Simpsons classic episode capability has dried up.

Yeah, that's it. Well-expressed.

Thanks. Yeah its kind of how most new simpsons are: Fun to watch, with some laughs throughout, but rarely too memorable or classic.
Unlike other shows though, the simpsons can actually be entertaining on episodes that aren't so funny, unlike say.. South Park where an unfunny episode is just hell.

Are you crazy??

I did not like the premiere at all but this sunday's episode with Dennis Leary was great Simpsons stuff.
