Yeah I think there are enough good bits to make them fun as I flick through with my daughter on D+.
But itâs a good example of an episode form that was frustrating when you were waiting a week for a new episode and instead of a proper story you got this?!
Itâs nowhere near as bad as it could be, but Bart the Lover always seems a bit mean-spirited. Catfishing your teacher because you got detention? Tbf, Bart doea feel bad about it, but still.
Just had a thought: I wonder if Family Guy was entirely created cos Seth Green thought that the way the Simpsons Halloween episodes constantly jumps around plots at random should happen after every single fucking line.
It started to get brilliant on Lisaâs Substitute (end of Season 2). The run of that/War of the Simpsons/ Three Men and a Comic Book / Blood Feud is up there with the best of Season 3 IMO.
The episodes I dislike are ones with typical sitcom endings, like Mr Lisa Goes to Washington and When Flanders Failed. Theyâre too sappy and simplistic.
