The Episode Review
Good story, and superb execution. The latest Simpson episode is sure to entertain you as it contains all that we love about the show. The storyline features a nice, sort of unrelated introduction, a song, and several good moments. Marge and Homer are delightful to watch, and the rest of the Simpson family make a wonderful cameo. What’s more, the story brings the nostalgic Simpson feel.
