#Simpsons Challenge S30 Ep2

I enjoyed 'Heartbreak Hotel' - it's got its flaws (mainly characterisation, a major problem for the series after the golden era) but I liked the concept and did laugh a fair bit (Homer's 'Heartbreak Hotel's parody is good)

Close to a 7 but just falls short

#Simpsons Challenge Season 30 Ep1

I thought 'Bart's Not Dead' was fairly shallow, basic stuff. After watching 640 episodes in three and a half years, episodes like this are pretty forgettable

The bit where Jesus beats up Bart in the dream sequence earned a shocked laugh out of me tho

#Simpsons Season 29 completed

I thought this season was better that last season, but the stats say otherwise 🤷‍♂️

Every episode is either bang average or terrible, with very little in-between.

I gave 'Gone Boy' a 7 and it's the only episode I'd recommend from this season.

Wasn't keen on this one, bar Only, nothing really stood out.

'Flanders' Ladder' is just weird - Bart ends up in a coma and seeing the dead?!? It's like a dragged out Treehouse Of Horror bit and not a full episode.

It's engagingly sinister (especially when Bart goes to the therapist in the coma world) but that's all

#Simpsons Challenge S29 Ep20

"Throw Grampa From The Dane' just happened tbh...as Grampa episodes go, it was bearable but inessential.

A bonus point for a) a Dr Nick cameo ('That's why I wear the heart listening tube') and b) the Homer/Marge opening scene being quite pleasant

#Simpsons Challenge S29 Ep19

I liked 'Left Behind' - the idea of Ned working with Homer is a good one and I thought it was a decent episode by latter day Simpsons standards

If the plot was more layered (ie Ned and Bart's relationship explored more) this would have scored higher

#Simpsons Challenge S29 Ep18

I thought 'Forgive And Regret' was awful - by now, I dread Grampa episodes and this one was another stinker with Abe as main focus

Such a shallow episode with weird mean characterisation...found myself loading up Pro Evo during it, if I'm being honest....

#Simpsons Challenge S29 Ep17

'Lisa Gets The Blues' screams filler to me - it's an absolutely nothing episode

Half of the episode feels like it's just Homer listing New Orleans food, that 'joke' is way too long

Not being offensive enough to score a 1 is the only saving grace

#Simpsons Challenge S29 Ep16

'King Leer' isn't too bad for a Moe episode, it feels more grounded than most and doesn't overdo the 'Moe is a loser' jokes.

I thought it was amusing too...I laughed out loud at a drunk Homer using a dog for a breathalyser, only for the dog to fail too 🤣

#Simpsons Challenge S29 Ep15

'No Good Read Goes Unpunished' had a promising start with Bart using The Art Of War to torment Homer....

...but then it goes into an awful, heavy handed Lisa/Marge censorship story that tries to defend the show's use of Apu 😮

Grim.

"Fears Of A Clown' has some interesting ideas (Krusty as a serious actor) but it races through both plots so fast that nothing makes sense

I did laugh though, some good lines here ("Yet another puff piece that ends in madness") and Krusty is pretty funny
