Goddamn. If there was ever a time I wish I had a disposable income it's right now at this very moment. So many I'd love to frame and put on my wall.

Season 3 is stealthily the best season.

I'm not sure what the opinion here on E-I-E-I-D'oh but after watching it again, I am enjoying it.

Maybe because the references are squeezed in hilariously. I love this

"Bart, go get Lassie!"
"Lassie?"
"I mean Lisa."

I love that episode. Everything with the Tomacco is an absolute classic.

Isn't it bothersome that the old farm is no longer burnt down?

 

[Taborcarn]

I thought the tomacco episode was pretty terrible when it first aired when I was a college freshman. But part of that might have been due to its proximity to Saddlesore Galactica.

I still don't see how Saddlesore is seen as a bad episode. The episode is pure laughs from start to finish.

You mean the episode where the big twist is a colony of Jockey Elves? It has good jokes, but its a classic Jerkass-Homer showcase with a lazy plotwist that leaves a sour taste in your mouth. It's one of those episodes that really ramped into the mean, cynical era of the Simpsons, probably the lowest point for me in the series until about 5 to 6 seasons ago.

Yes! I loved their song too!

If Principal and the Pauper was a jump the shark moment, Saddlesore was the steep decline on the other side. I just remember watching it new and realizing that it was very few laughs, and a ton of cringes. I definitely said "Wtf is this?" to my roommate more than once during the airing. It just didn't fit the feeling or quality of any of the seasons that had come before.

Pauper was a hilarious episode though. Yeah the Tamzarian thing was dumb, but so what?

Watch the farm ep again, it's hilarious!

they visited it again?

 

[Taborcarn]

Hilarious is a far, far, stretch. It's not awful but definitely marked a turning point.

But yup, you're certainly allowed to have your own opinions and standards about what's funny.

This I agree with you on. The Tamzarian thing is way overblown, I never really understood the great offense it had. The episode as a whole felt good and had great character moments with sides of Skinner we'd never seen. I liked that it touched on a more dramatic side of the Simpsons you don't often get. I'm not quite sure what backstory it's betraying either. Skinner has always had flashbacks to the war. Is there a flashback with him as a kid with Agnes that I'm not remembering?

Even if there was, nothing, and I mean nothing will ever be as egregious as [I]That 90's Show[/I]. Little to zero redeeming aspects while trampling on the history of the characters.

Ha! Why hasn't this gotten more use?

Needs the "that's my fetish" timed to Homer talking, although Frinkiac can't do that... yet...

Now that we can agree with. It wasn't even a funny episode, just...ugh.

At least we got "dealies" out of it.

Uhhh, yeah, the episode has the family going to it, and it's just a piece of crap instead of a burning piece of crap like it was in the first episode it appeared.

Oh I didn't know they went to the farm before that ep.

If you never have, definitely listen to the commentary for that episode.

Great idea.

Yeah, apparently they never sent the tripping parts to the usual SK studio, but instead either they did them themselves or did live action or other techniques.

Really visually glorious ep.

Yeah, no way Akom was going going to nail animation this specific:

I never realized how abundant Simpsons had with musical segments.

Remember the episode where Marge abuses steroids, wrecks Moes Bar and rapes Homer?

Spoiler

Yeah, I don't want to either.

I always felt Bart has some minor crush on Krabappel.

Rewatching Homer vs Lisa and the 8th Commandment, I felt the solution was contrived and too much Lisa pandering
