A new episode airs tonight at 8 PM Eastern. Here is the synopsis:
 
That at least had a reason.
He moved in the city, discovered bad boy Bart and than moved back out.
This one Obama's wife just happens to be there to help Lisa LOL.
 
Which one, the one where Bart runs off with Jessica Lovejoy, Reverand Lovejoy's daughter, or the one where Bart gets a driver's license(for the second time) and runs off with that girl to get married in Utah? Or even, perhaps the one where the girl Bart loves goes to Toronto, and Bart follows her there?

You're going to have to help me out here, because this plot(like oh so many recent episodes) sounds identical to plots that have already been done several times throughout the shows run.
 
In other words, the way Bart meets a girl is the same as when a guy meets a girl who says she likes him, then stabs him in the back by going for a different guy.
 
Typical Sarah Silverman performance. Never cared for her on SNL in the 90's, her own show, and now The Simpsons. I honestly don't see how she can be considered funny when she acts so cold and mean.

Summary: F


Good thing this episode was good, while at times great. I recall a similar news story when an elementary student was suspended for kissing another student so seeing The Simpsons take a worrywart approach to a similar situation was gold (the "school reenactment" made me ROFL). The story with Lisa took me by surprise with the email (and later apparance) from Michelle Obama. I think they did very well wrapping things up there.

I also believe that Itchy and Scratchy cartoon might have been the longest, most stylized skit they've ever done. Good job to whomever came up with that (and for that matter, the kissing montage).

Episode Summary: B+
