Whacking Day is a classic Simpsons episodes, one of the best in my opinion. When the Simpsons started Season 1 wasn't particularly good, Season 2 was a big improvement, Season 3 was when the Simpsons was starting to become really good,... Full review

I know it's supposed to be a satire on homophobia, but I have always just found it far too offensive and, even if the show doesn't condone Homer's homophobia, I found Homer's actions in this episode to be just offensive -... Full review

... wait until you see this one! This show contradicts so many previously well-established facts about OFF that it boggles the mind. I'll mention only what peeved me the most: in "Homerpalooza" Homer is depicted as being completely out-of-touch with 90s... Full review

This is actually a controversial episode; series creator Matt Groening took his name off the credits and complained about it. The concern was that A Star is Burns is an advertisement, since a key character is the star of another cartoon-... Full review
If you love the 90s, you'll love this. If you're a nitpicking whinger, you won't.

As a total grungehead, I think I am in love with episode 11 of season 19 Simpsons, titled 'That 90s Show'. Homer and Marge tell the kids of the period between school and when Bart was born when Marge got a... Full review

This truly is the "Worst Episode Ever". If, in the end, we had found that Homer had been hit in the head with a brick, or had drunk some bad eggnog, and hallucinated this whole thing, all would be forgiven. Previous... Full review

I wonder if those that detest this episode were meant to take it seriously. I really didn't take it seriously, we know Bart is 10 in 1989 and is 10 in 2008. The entire city of Springfield has been stuck in... Full review

For those complaining about continuity the episode explained why the change occurred, as Lisa calculated Homer is 40 & Bart is 10. Homer has been between the ages of 36-40 during the entire show. This could fit in before the episode... Full review

Let Me Put My Thoughts in You is a magnificent return to the stand-up comedy special for Dana Gould, who is....it lacks the effect of Gould's physicality on some of the jokes.....were they left out because of their subject matter-obviously Gould is not afraid to venture into touchy territory....Every single joke is genuinely funny, with more laugh-out-loud moments than it's probably advisable to view at 4AM.... ...
