I’m just surprised Maggie would get so intimidated. It’s well-established that she knows how to handle a firearm.
Yep, I caught that, but I didn’t catch the other names.
Re: the breakup, it might have seemed arbitrary and forced, but in real life, sometimes breakups are arbitrary and forced. It totally worked for me – she was a little hypocritical (in that she can make jokes but anyone else is allowed one at most), he was a little insensitive, and it didn’t work. Seemed realistic enough, despite the obvious fact that it had to be shoehorned in to fit the episode.
My favorite part was the callback to Moe being a snake-handler!
I really enjoyed this one. There was some fantastic gags, and I liked Moe finding love and then heeding (and it working) Homer’s advice. Plus, as someone else said it was a “nice” episode. Well, I found it funny, too, but nice is umm nice once in a while.
I loved the couch gag. That was a lot of fun.
Yes the dr nick gag was telegraphed a mile away. I still laughed. Might say more about me than the show, I guess.
??? Helloooo!!! He thought she lived in a TREE!!! :rolleyes:
Aaaarrrggghhh!
I turned on my set just in time to see the flat panel fall off the wall! Could someone please help a brother out with a couch gag (and a blackboard gag)?
And she pretended to turn into a doll. Did you have a point, or did you just want to say something in bold?
The hockey commentators are Wayne Bockhorne, Jean-Pierre Petomaine, and Doc Jacques LaLanne.
No chalkboard. Couch: a Simpsonsy hand brings down a series of animation cels: first Homer’s eyes and brain, then his skeleton, his body fat, his naked body, and then the rest of the family and background. An angry Marge brings down another cel to clothe Homer.
I wasn’t crazy about the ep.
I didn’t laugh as much as I have in the past coupla weeks, I didn’t really like that she ended the romance so quickly, and I agree with the poster who said “why can’t poor Moe just get a girlfriend”. The ending of “It worked” was kinda cool though.
The Maggie portion wasn’t funny at all (cept the dog being dad part). Normally I like Maggie, and I think she gets some of the best jokes, but this was lacking.
I thought it was one of the more enjoyable episodes in a long time.
I too wished Moe could’ve had a girlfriend, at least for awhile. OK a sober Barney and a Moe with a girlfriend isn’t funny all the time, but they could’ve had it run for a few episodes. I liked the character and I’d like to see her come back as a reoccuring character. She’s certainly more interesting than Gil or the Crazy Cat Lady.
I didn’t care for the baby B-plot. Angry waring babies has been done to death. Just like animals that don’t normally eat meat attacking people. This was funny like the first 50 times but now it’s boring. Maggie having a personal grudge against Baby Gerald is funny but why is everyone anti-Maggie, and certainly a baby beating up Homer is just dumb. Yeah so Maggie saves him. We’ve seen this from her shooting Mr Burns to shooting the mobster, to saving him from drowning. Maggie likes Homer, we get it. We KNOW she’s gonna save him. It was funny the first 50 times. Maybe the Simpsons should hire writers who actually have WATCHED the show.
Seems pretty harsh there. The writer has a character named after him on the show; granted that occurred before he started writing for the show, but still.
That Homer-in-danger element didn’t get introduced until the last second, and a second is about how long it lasted.
