This sounds like it could've been a fine episode if it was written twenty-five years ago.

It started with Homer getting him a job as the HR director at the plant.

Also not a bad premise but everything about it fell flat in the execution.

Bart feels smothered by his art teacher, who encourages nothing but the best from her students, and wants to get rid of her. When Bart visits a voodoo specialist, he receives some materials to cast a spell on his art teacher, yet his teacher still shows up to class the next day surprising Bart. Even though the spell was meant for a stomachache, Bart receives some startling news that his teacher is pregnant.

Ralph announces that Bart got the art teacher pregnant. The student body, including Lisa, is in disbelief. After Principal Skinner grills Bart, Homer picks his son up complaining how embarrassing it is to find out Bart's bad news during his arraignment. When a couple approaches Bart about his baby-making skills, Bart utilizes his voodoo spell etiquette to give a couple a baby. The spell works, and the couple returns to ask Bart if he could cast the same spell for their couple friends in the same position. Before long, Bart has opened a fertility through voodoo clinic. Homer takes Bart to Moe's to discuss Bart's problems before Fat Tony's cronies come into the bar to kidnap them.

Upon meeting Fat Tony, he orders Bart to work his baby magic on his horses to create a champion racehorse. Homer sees this as an opportunity to show Bart how babies are made. Nonetheless, the stallion turns out to like playing "It's Raining Men" more than making babies with the female horse. The horse then mates with Sudsley Brewright and the pregnancy test comes back positive.

the absolute worst moment, the lowest of the low, was a recent one where grandpa needed surgery because homer got a big insurance payout and grandpa needed the money. instead, they research countries where medical care is better than the USA's. Lisa says "according to this POLL, it's Denmark!" and Homer says, "Oh yeah? I got a Poll for you rightttt here" and he grabs at his dick and pulls out another poll.


i turned the tv off, knowing that was going to be it.

You missed an episode that written by a staff reading Denmark's wikipedia page, making the most obvious joke about each fact, and then moving on to the next fact.

I've been catching stuff like this on Family Guy. There was an episode not too long ago that involved a joke about a 1950's commercial for bran flakes. It kept repeating what bran is: "Bran is the hard outer layers of cereal grain. Along with germ, it is an integral part of whole grains!" Sure enough, they lifted the exact sentence from the first two lines of the wikipedia article. :effort:

So I've decided to revisit the middle seasons to see if anything in them is worth anything. I started with seasons 14 and 15 (where I stopped collecting the DVDs) and I've got to say... it's not god awful yet? I remember it being disappointing when it first aired, but watching it in a vacuum without recently having seen any of the golden seasons, I'm reasonably amused. There are a few real turds (mostly in season 14) but overall it's just dry and silly and intermittently boring. No genius moments, but a few episodes that were pretty solid the whole way through. They were still able to crank out a few decent schmaltzy moments here and there too. I'd grade these two seasons a solid B- overall.

I can almost give the early teen seasons a pass given that American culture was hosed from 2001-2004ish. Almost.

So I decided I want to get the first 10 seasons to own. I can buy them used for like $50 from Ebay, but theyre not part of any disc to digital service. I can buy them digitally at $20 a pop, which I would actually prefer, but that's expensive as gently caress.
This is it. This is the lowest point.

If you have any kind of TV subscription you probably have access to FX's app which has every episode.

It's really cool how you watch an ad only to find out the episode is stretched to 16:9 and when you click to change it to 4:3 it plays the same goddamned ad again

It's also annoying that they didn't upscale and remaster the original 4:3 versions. The 16:9 ones are digitally cleaned up, but the stretching and zooming in to make it work looks bad.

i rewatched the first 8 episodes of the simpsons over the past 3-4 weeks and when they're all close together I could pinpoint when I started to dislike it.

around the poochie episode, is when I gave up and stopped watching any more.

It's "Sweet Seymour Skinner's Badass Song". Not only is it a great character ep for Skinner, but it gave us "GREASE ME UP WOMAN!", "MAKE WAY FOR WILLY!" and Billy and the Clone-A-Saurus.
