Gamer, Nerd, Movie Buff, VHS Collector, and proud (?) to say I've watched every single episode of The Simpsons.

This will fail like the 2014 film did.

S3 has yet to have a positively reviewed episode
I can finally move on and watch other shows, movies, and just do other things in general now that this is over.
So what are my final thoughts?

Best: Bart's Birthday
Worst: Desperately Seeking Lisa

The season finale is a great one! I love the Bart and Lisa dynamic present, the depiction of the future is more measured, and I love the parody of When She Loved Me from Toy Story 2. Also a change of pace with Marge dead instead of Homer.

Boring. I do like episodes where Homer isn't being a complete jerk to his dad, but what we get is a lame sports episode that at points tries to be a parody of Challengers. They should have gone all in on the latter concept.

So the first five minutes are about this great Bart and Lisa plot but then it just gets... abandoned? Like, never mentioned again and it's frustrating they gave up on it. The rest of the episode is solid since I love Fat Tony but I wish the first part was the whole thing.

Try saying that title parody three times fast. This episode is sort of frustrating because it's a unique team-up but the interesting part doesn't happen until it becomes about sports gambling. Other than that there's nothing going here.

This one definitely feels mandated by Disney. I was pretty blank-faced throughout this because it's just Simpsons characters as animals. Nothing special, but some of their designs are clever and there's some nice scenery. This ends tomorrow!

A fairly well-written episode. I think my main complaint here is I wish the mystery of who took the letters was prolonged for a while longer. The chase scene between Marge and Shauna is pretty good, plus the ending is nice. There was one joke that busted my gut.

So this is commentary on the recent surge of weight loss drugs but boy is this episode so surface level. On top of South Park doing this concept way better (ironic), the thin character models are just so dang uncanny. They also say "Ok Boomer" five years late.

This was such a pleasant surprise! I like how they explored Homer and Ned's rivalry, and the way Ned finally snaps is brilliant and isn't just a repeat of Hurricane Neddy. Plus the episode is really funny, and the resolution works well.

So I definitely love the 1920's aesthetic and soundtrack. The main plot with Lisa being able to go back in time and meet the old Mr. Burns has potential, but I would have preferred an episode fully in the past about Burns.

Okay, that's a clever title. Anyways, this is a fun one, albeit flawed. Having Marge kickstart the problem by screwing up is a nice change of pace, the dynamic she has with Smithers is underrated, and the Robin Hood scenes are eye candy. Not great, but still fun.

This episode is bad. Reusing the Pin Pals, Fausto (from The Wife Aquatic) of all characters returns only to be pointless, yet another Mona Simpson appearance which is equally pointless, and forced emotions all around. Also it's a forced Christmas episode.

Our first Disney+ exclusive episode (denoted by *), and it's double length at that. Ned's faith crisis is one of his best plotlines in a long time, but the stuff with Homer thinking he's Santa and Derren Brown is filler and brings it down overall.

This had the potential to be so much better. The concept of Homer actually being friends with Patty & Selma is a concept I'm shocked the show hadn't done yet, but of course it's wasted amongst a Krusty subplot that nobody cares about with a rather dark ending.

This one was pretty funny. It's centered around unruly and annoying airplane passengers and the writers do quite a bit with it. All five members of the family have fun moments, and the whole secret prison is so ridiculous that it works. Very good episode.

We're really doing this again after we already had a ToH? All three stories are pretty decent and there wasn't anything outlandishly bad, but I would never watch this again. I did kind of like the framing device, however.

This is essentially another 22 Short Films but about the Women of Springfield. The problem is this has basically no flow to it whatsoever. Every now and then there's a good idea or joke but I would've rather one of these ideas fleshed out more.

The Pacific Rim parody based on American politics is whatever, but the other two segments make up for it. I love the EAP parody with its actual horrific imagery, and the Denim segment is excellent. I especially love the art style of Homer's pants.
