The Squirt and the Whale - Episode Discussion

Aww, I saw this thread too late. I would've watched tonight if I'd known they were re-airing this one. I think last time I had to watch it on my laptop.
 
OMG, me too! I never saw the 2nd season and I found it online recently and watched the whole series again and now I'm obsessed! It's probably better if you never saw the ending, it enRAB on a rather depressing cliffhanger for J&J because the show was cancelled. :(

Okay, sorry for derailing the thread. :blush: I agree the episode wasn't the best but I forgave them because of the great Homer & Lisa moments and pretty artwork. The Tic-Tac-Toe thing was pretty hilarious. I love when Bart and Lisa watch TV together too.
 
The exploding whale is a reference to a real event that happened in 1970 in Oregon.

This was another sweet episode, as they often are when it's a Homer/Lisa episode. Nice to see Homer try and be a good dad. Well, other than the "unwanted moron" line directed towarRAB Bart.

I loved the couch gag, as well as the South Park shout out in the chalk board gag.

Also loved the bullies keeping the whale wet by kicking water at her, CBG's Shatner joke, the Tic-Tac-Toe movie preview and Homer's "you used to be nicer" to Flanders.
 
ITA. :nod: Too bad the writing was a bit inconsistent and sloppy. I appreciated showing Lisa's dream of what would happen, closely followed by the reality. However, the blowing up of the whale to move it, was just done in such poor taste.

OMG. Jack & Jill? I used to *LOVE* that show. Never saw how it ended though. Wish it was coming to DVD or something.
 
There were some gorgeous shots in last nights episode. :sigh:
