Reminded me of Homer falling down Springfield Gorge in Bart the Daredevil.
It was like that on meth

And an animator subtly puts in the initials of the cast of My Little Pony into Cleveland's card.

It's there... and yet I have to wonder what would possibly compel someone watching to connect the dots and catch that reference. How does that happen?

Or the animator sent a heads up to one of the big MLP blogs ahead of airtime....
I always took it as Brian was special. But then I remember how awesome The Giant Chicken is and I kinda ignore any logical inconsistencies in the show.

Being a owner of all Simpsons DVDs and usually having the syndication on in the background it is hard to not see the footprints in the snow being doubled over.
Just shown on Friday was "Rednecks and Broomsticks" from 3 years ago. Homer in a community of mountain folk on the outskirts of town.
Redoing the Simpsons intro mid-show in a Sideshow Bob episode but called The Thompson's with a houseboat.
The ending of Martin's pool episode was like Skinner in this episode.

It reminded me of Andy Samberg falling down that hill in Hot Rod.
Pretty sure Brian is a dog.

Guest stars like these are so pointless they really shouldn't bother. Just like when they got those crossword guys to voice themselves back in Season 20. At least bringing in actual celebrities make sense. Bringing in graffiti artists only works if you're having them provide their own original artwork for the show.8:00pm:

Cecil from Mom and Pop Art? Anyway didn't like the episode. Overall episode just wasn't interesting and the sub-plot with Apu was just so stupid and pointless. They could used Apu's screen time to actually explain why Bart was suddenly so into street art.
Family Guy was so boring. Didn't even bother with Cleveland Show and missed American Dad
Eh, it wasn't offensive like many Simpson episodes these days are but it was rather straightforward. Homer hurts Bart's feelings (even this part was really pulled out from the ass), Bart uses street art to get his revenge, becomes popular and hilarity ensues. Oh and apparently there is a new store that is stealing Apu's customers. Given, there were some really good quotes and Wiggum's wordplays were great as they were in the earlier seasons.
Just saw American Dad, pretty good episode. Steve is really great character, love his dancing and singingStraight A's daddy-o. Also writers really have no idea what they are going to do with Hayley and Klaus.
Next week is a Klaus episode!
That's probably why they had Hayley marry Jeff. They've pretty much written her out of the show since then.

She was clearly the weakest link. The show is better off without her in every episode.
This Simpsons reminds me of a classic Simpsons, subtle jokes and decent delivery. It feels strange to laugh at this show again. Maybe I'm not feeling well
I wouldn't say that. It was watchable, but every flat.
I really hate how they waste good ten minutes of the show before they even start constructing the plot. I still don't really get why Bart got so mad at Homer, it all just seemed so lazy, and as CiSTM said Bart's street art revenge came out nowhere.
With news on the lighter side. This episode was the seventh least watched episode in Simpson's history and the average ratings are really hurting. If you don't count the post NFL playoff episode Simpsons hasn't managed to attract even 6 million viewrs since december. The Daughter Also Rises from this season has the lowest ratings of all time with 4.33 million viewers.
Two more seasons were announced but I would assume there are some options if ratings are bad enough. At this rate season 23 will end up having the worst average ratings in the shows history. Maybe they will do another movie so they can get some hype and attract more viewers for the show.

Disappointing ratings or not it's not like those scores are going to other titles in the FOX stable or even other networks.
American Idol is getting the worst average ratings in its history but isn't going anywhere, either.
Both shows still command hefty prices for their commercial space - something any replacement series would not be able to match.
The Simpsons Might Be Worth More Money If It Were Cancelled. In that light if Simpson ratings drop in the category of 3 or 4 million viewers per episode I would assume it would be only reasonable to end it.

Oh I raised that point back in the fall when the last round of negotiations were underway.
Thing is, while the show will have a big payday when it ends due to the prospect of reworked syndication deals and BluRay/DVD sets... that payday will still be there in two years. Or five years. Or ten years. No reason FOX needs to cash in on that deal right this second.
It cost insane mount of money to produce Simpsons episodes and lack of viewers from last two seasons forced the voice actors to take big pay cuts and this season is tracking to do lot worse then seasons 21/22. Will the voice actors take another pay cut when next contracts are signed or will FOX cut somewhere else or simply dumb the show? They might make another movie and hope it will breath some air to the show but if the ratings are plummeting like this then FOX is going to pull the plug, whether it's after the two full seasons or before that is something only time will tell.

I always thought The Simpsons was tracking pretty close to Family Guy in ratings, if not the amongst the top bracket. Where does it fall amongst FG, AD, BB, and ND? The hole the Simpsons would leave on the Fox Block would be a critical blow for sure, I can't imagine what they would replace it with.
