I thought tonight’s episode had promise but fell flat on its buttocks. There were a few good jokes but they were mostly in the beginning of the episode. The funeral home directors conference just wasn’t funny at all. The ending with everybody dancing to “Golden Years” was absolutely atrocious. _The Simpsons_ was recently demoted to my second favorite show after _Beavis and Butt-head_ came back, and this episode is a good reason why.

I haven’t watched _The Simpsons_ regularly since 1999 or 2000. The handful of episodes I’ve seen since then have been seriously un-funny. I’m surprised its sill on the air.

Agree the the new B&B is great.
