[lays]

Why didn't you tell me that the Simpsons were having new episodes, can't wait for another fun-filled season of the Simpsons.

 

[joo_0420]

I don't know about this episode since most of the Lisa episodes aren't that interesting. Maybe my opinion will change after I watched it tonight.

 

[Sher-Sher]

Didn't South Park do an Elementary School Musical episode? Turning the tables now, Simpsons writers?

 

[Shellena S]

They did...in 2008. This show seems to be a little behind the times. :shrug:

 

[Rock Hard]

Just like last season's finale, this episode sounds like an awful idea. Oh well, I didn't watch the finale, and it doesn't look like I'll be watching this.

 

[Diceboy42]

Looking at promo this one seem to be inspired by "Glee" since some of cast appears in the episode.

 

[Obama_Boy]

Get used to Lisa, as the first four episodes of the season appear to involve her in some way. :sad:

 

[blissathome]

Although I dont like Glee but at least the Glee cast aren't butchering any songs in this ep. hopefully but why has Brooklyn been called Sprooklyn

 

[brookieou]

This sounds like its already been done :shrug: Every season I hope the Simpsons will eventually get better but without new ideas they wont

 

[chapto]

When I slept in class, it was not to help Leo DiCaprio.

Ha.

 

[chapto]

Those cheap bastards at FOX

 

[YaNkEeS!!!]

I loved that jab at Fox.

Also, their reactions at Krusty winning the Peace Prize. Especially Maggie. XD

 

[Long Live Test Cricket]

Snarky Lisa? Okay.

"Hooray for the middle child!"

Maggie really is that mature, huh?

Lisa looks surprised. A bit too surprised.

 

[Kunmui]

Maggie using her new pacifier as a cigarette was weird but funny

 

[Red River]

Well, this crossover is trying to make a tired show look hip and relevant to people who don't care.

This is the first time I had to get up and walk away from the show.

BTW, the upcoming Katty Perry w/Simpsons puppets skit got lucky because Sesame Street Banned her skit which means Al Jean will comment on how the Simpsons is 'cutting edge' by making fun of the situation. Sometimes it proves it's better to be lucky than talented.

 

[rraanndyy innddoo]

Well, she needs to unwind after a long day of sniping and saving Homer's life.

 

[Duckman and Weasel]

So far, this is absolutely painful to watch. These songs are terrible and none of the jokes are hitting.

 

[desertgirl]

Oh, Von Krusten. He stolen all your jokenjottles.

 

[Danni Lea]

Just caught a second of the episode where Krusty is at an airport in Europe, and wow, his voice sounded way off. I guess Dan is losing the ability to do his gravely voice properly these days.
