The Simpsons: Treehouse of Horror XVII (2006)
Much Better
OK... This episode was much, much better than the previous episode. I don't go much on Halloween episodes, but this one is one of the best and out of the 18 and thats pretty good.
The first story was a bit silly, but it did have the funniest part out of the 3, the Dr. Phil scene.
The second story, I really liked it. It was different, and it really worked. There wasn't really any real funny bits, but it was really well done.
The third story, (there was an add in the middle of it, it kind of killed it) but it was good. I liked the World War I bit, with Grampa.
In conclusion: from best to worse; 1: Married to the Blob (Because of the Dr. Phil bit) 2: You Got to Know When to Golem (It was well written) 3: The Day the Earth Stood Stupid (The ad spoiled it, it also felt like it wen't for too long.)
Ironicly it is in the same order as the episode.
Anyway a 7/10 for the whole episode. Really well done.
The Simpsons: Please Homer, Don't Hammer 'Em (2006)
Nothing Happened!
First of all, I love the Simpsons (I even have a Homer tattoo). Secondly I am NOT one of those people that think the new The Simpsons are getting worse. This episode was...boring...nothing happened. Maybe it's not the writers fault. The length of a Simpsons episodes was cut by 2 minutes a few years ago, so the writers decided to give up the "B storyline" which in this case is the Bart storyline. For some reason they have brought the "B storyline" back. Maybe Fox needs to extend the episodes length. (which they probably won't do). Maybe the writers should focus on one big full story instead of a half a story (Marge and Homer) and a crappy story (Bart and Skinner). By the way, where was Lisa and Maggie. What did they do while all that was happening? Secondly this season is probably not going to be the best because of stress from The Simpsons movie. (Can't wait!)
For me "one" of the worst episodes ever. But it was a Marge episode which are not that great anyway. Expect for Screaming Yellow Honkers.
Anyway a 5 is generous, since the pressure from the movie.
