We rarely ever watch new Simpson's episodes anymore. And when we do, we usually regret it. Last night was no exception.
After a lousy couch gag (which ran way too long--a sign of things to come), we get a decent little opening bit, which quickly deteriorates into an absolutely terrible show. Yet again, we get to see two or three gags that are done for WAY too long--Bart pushing the car back down onto the road while it teeters over the cliff was kinda funny the first time--after the 10th we were ashamed we hadn't turned it off. And ending it with Lisa and Maggie being the only ones left at home, and Lisa giving that heart wrenching "I guess I'll go find a job tomorrow" line? You never end an episode of a sitcom with the viewers feeling sad--sure they might have been going for a joke, but they didn't pull it off...
That'll teach us to watch any new Simpsons ever again...
