The Simpsons - "Mypods and Broomsticks" - Talkback [11/30]

Due to watching this, I think I'm starting to realize what the new episodes of The Simpsons are lacking (other than actual comedic material). They aren't as timeless.
 
Wait what? How is this a "24 thing"? This show already did a 24 parody.

Hey, remember when this show used to make you think and would reward you for watching and paying attention? Remember when almost every joke was solid? When Homer was laugh-out-loud funny? Remember when the show was something more than empty shells of characters parading across the screen for a half hour?

EDIT: Wait, wait, wait....so it''s not ok to say brand names like Apple, Ipod or Iphone but it's perfectly okay to completely rip off Aladdin?
 
It seems like since The Itchy and Scratchy and Poochie Show, Itchy and Scratchy shorts haven't been shown as much as they used to, and this one was kind of lousy. Then again, having a myPod exclusive short seems similar to how one episode (I forget the title, but it's the one where Bart gets a girlfriend who is the daughter of Rainier Wolfcastle) had a scene showing an Itchy and Scratchy DVD, made around the time that DVDs started becoming more and more popular..
 
A later episode...infact the latest one...

and it is now in my top favorites.

There were tons of funny jokes, and the Itchy and Scratchy short was hilarious. My only complaint is the title. It should be something about the main plot.
 
He was the Genie in the Kingdom Hearts video games more recently than House of Mouse.

Anyway, I actually thought this was one of the best episodes in awhile. I loved Bart's bit as the head of Mapple, Willy's "lament", and the fact that they actually got someone foreign to do a voice this time.
