Post the last Simpsons episode you watched and grade it!

Some tiny rules to prevent this topic from turning into a mess:

• Please give some feedback explaining why you liked or didn't like an episode. It doesn't have to be a long explanation as long as it isn't just some oneliner like 'This is the best episode ever!' or 'This episode sucks badly!'
• If you've watched another episode and there haven't been posted any new replies since your last post, please just edit your last post.

I'll start...

Moe 'N' A Lisa: 4/5

It was a decent episode with some funny jokes. The only part I didn't like, was when Moe wouldn't give Lisa any credit for the poet she created for him. That made Lisa extremely sad. But in the end he apologized, so I guess it's still a happy end

Treehouse of Horror XVII. I've heard very different responses about this episode - from gushing praise to really nasty bashing, and my curiosity won in the end. I've spend 30 Mb of my traffic downloading it, and don't regret about that. The episode wasn't brilliant (my greatest complaint is the excessive violence across the whole episode), but wasn't bad either, I liked all three stories, and some moments (for example, when Marge suggested to act like animals to save from the alien invasion) made me laugh out loud. Heh, that moment made me worry a bit... I subconsciously waited for Lisa to act the same - who knows what writers will decide this time, it's Halloween after all - but thankfully, that didn't happen. Again, the episode wasn't scary at all, and that's no good imho, but all three stories were developed properly. Plus, great intro. I grade this THOH 4/5.

P.S. I think Suusje's episode will be the next one I'll download

Ice Cream Of Margie (With The Light Blue Hair): 4.5/5

This was a suprisingly funny episode. Although it's another "Homer lost his job/marriage problems" episode, it has been done in a good way this time. It contained a lot of good jokes and a decent storyline. The only bad thing is that Marge learns a new skill way too fast. This seems to be a new trend in season 18 (it also happened in "Please Homer, Don't Hammer 'Em" and "Jazzy And The Pussycats"). But other than that it's a great episode.

This has been the best episode of season 18 so far

Hmm letseee...
"Grade school Confidential", I watched a few nights ago

I'ld give it 3.5/5

Now, I don't think there's any season 8 episodes I greatly dislike, however, I felt that in comparison to other episodes, such as Hurricane Neddy, Simpsoncalifragilisticexpiala(do'h)cious..... it just doesn't match up, but a good episode overall.

However, the plot was very well errr plotted out   Fitted together nicely if that makes any sense, and the story itself was quite sweet, and I like how Skinner's character is shown as more independant from his mother here (unlike more recent episodes)

It also had quite a few good gags in it ( I espcially love Ralph's line but..I won't post it here )

So yeah, not a bad episode Though guess I'm bias as in comparison to the new episodes, I prefer all the older ones
What I also prefer is the animation...not sure how to describe it os obviously, the quality wasn't as sharp and clean as it is today..but it seems more fluid, isn't rigid, and is somewhat easier on the eyes

'Scuse me while I miss the sky
4/5
The last time I watched Simpsons it was on May 11. o.o (shame on me)

I enjoyed this episode, and it's in my top 10 list. It kinda sends a message that if there is something you desire, you should stop at no end to reach your goal. Plus, I enjoyed the meteor shower scenes at the end of the episode. But, I wish I knew the title of the song that played during then, I'd like to give it a download into my playlist.
Would anybody happen to know? ^^

I'll look for it and give it a listen.
Thanks a bunch, Andreas!

Twice you've saved this thread Suusje And its a good topic! Thanks for the advice, might try to watch that one next time I can.

I saw yesterday evening

My Fair Laddy.

It's the last episode i saw of the simpsons (in proper cronological order), and i enjoyed it quite a bit, it made me laugh in quite a lot of occasions, and i really enjoyed that Willie got to be a primary character for once. His plot was developed very well, the songs were funny. Of course the part that worked well was Lisa's interaction with Willie and his struggle to gain a social status, do the first two acts of the episode. The final "revelation" and the inevitable "descent" that brings all the character back to normal was of course expected and predictable but still well done with some clever jokes there, too. All in all, it was throughly enjoyable!
The Hoemr subplot, frankly, i couldn't care less for. It was rather dull and poorly written except for when he was struggling to join the song. So that takes away a bit from the grading. :\

I'd give it a 3,5/5!
