I thought the episode was okay, but what’s up with them reusing old jokes from previous seasons? Do they think we’ll forget? The joke where Marge said she was going to dial 9 1 on her cell phone just in case was used a long time ago by Milhouse’s grandmother in the episode where Bart sells his soul. Also, it was somehow funnier back then.
