A new episode airs tonight at 8 PM Eastern.
 
Jeez, we're still on the previous season in production order?

How many episodes until we get to the actual season 20?

Edit: Nevermind, looked it up. This is the final episode before we get to the actual season 20, AND the final episode to be presented in Standard Definition-only!

Meaning, basically, this is the final episode that'll have the original opening.
 
The title basically sums up every single Homer-Lisa episode made in the last 5 seasons and the description makes me think this'll be a bust since anytime the current writers try situations like this they fail miserably. You wouldn't get that kind of wasted potential from the Futurama staff.

But I'll play along and watch this week FOX because for some reason: I still pity you.
 
Heh nice one. I'll watch cause it's been like a month and a half since a new Simpsons episode and like 2 months for FG and AD. Seriously Fox, what the hell?
 
It's actually an old kind of obscure Peter Jackson movie they're parodying.

In the movie Pauline and Juliette eventually become lesbians and kill Pauline's mother. I wonder how this episode will end :)

ETA:
(Apparently all they used was the character and the love of an imaginary land)
 
That episode was, eh, pretty bland. Nothing really outstanding unfortunately. It's starting to get to the point where even I think the characters have been worn down to the ground, hence Lisa's new friend. All these plots are predictable. I'm afraid it's only a matter of time before I would be better served doing something other than watching the Simpsons on a Sunday night.
 
Given that the band's name was obviously derived from this show, you'd think they'd get more than a 'during the credits afterthought cameo'.

I caught the latter half of the episode. Lisa thinking that the family was coming to get her was pretty funny. On that note, what the hell happened to Dolph's hair? Was it always that thin?

Also, as a film music fan, I smiled at the soundtrack reference...though I couldn't tell you if track three of The Pelican Brief is any good or not. (I don't have it.)

Homer annoyed me, though, esp. in the scene with Skinner.

PLEASE!

"New technology is funny in and of itself" is old-people humor.


Why do they pick such obscure movies now? They're turning into Roger Ebert, all of 'em.
 
This episode seemed to be very messy to me. I thought Lisa and Juliet would be imagining a fantasy world through all of act 2 and 3. But instead there is another plot about the family trying to keep Lisa away from Juliet which to me felt that the writers wanted an excuse to get the whole family involved when they really didn't need to. I don't know maybe I'm just thinking too hard on this one.
 
I did laugh a good bit when that one bully looked like he was beating up the others as a dragon but in reality they were the ones beating him up.
