OK, I watched this and it sucked poo poo! Top billing goes to Hank Azaria for delivering one line as Chief Wiggum, but Homer is still creepily, off-puttingly voiceless, reacting with screams and yelps that are totally silent. The Simpsomatic Universe Disney castle is depressing because it suggests the future of the franchise: familiar Springfield landmarks and characters distorted to fit the corporate mold, with absolutely no trace left of the family who anchored the stories that made it an empire in the first place.

Simpsons when done well is a radio drama that happens to be animated. If the audio on its own can't hold up, it's a sure sign the episode is crap

Any and every character is basically a tool, it comes down to the quality of the writing and what you do with them. The Maggie-centric plots aren’t bad because it’s Maggie, they’re now bad because hacks who have howling voids where you’d otherwise find talent now writing the show. A Streetcar Named Marge was good because it was written and doctored by talented people who knew what the gently caress they were doing.

That's the episode that led them onto the dark path of thinking they could make good Maggie episodes and is therefore, when taken holistically, the worst one of all.

Homer Alone has great Maggie content, especially Wiggum giving her back and instantly forgiving Homer’s serious neglect. Low point was the Homer security company where Maggie keeps a rifle under her bed to shoot mobsters? Bad character moment, weak ending, overusing Fat Tony… yes we all like Joe Mantegna but just because he’s available all the time doesn’t mean he needs to show up constantly.

The Maggie Great Escape scene works and is cute because they're using baby toys and stuff. All these new shorts are dumb and bad because it's just blatantly lazy and cynical marketing thinly veiled as trying to capture the same cuteness of the Great Escape scene.

Other highlights were it being the Ayn Rand Daycare Centre (about which the Ayn Rand Appreciation Society apparently got in touch with the show and thanked them for the reference, not getting that it wasn't exactly complimentary) and the parody of The Birds, complete with Hitchcock's cameo walking the dog at the end.

Also, like the majority of the references and parodies from the good seasons, it's funny even if you aren't aware of the source material. It's not just "what if Star Wars, but Maggie".

The best thing that Disney ever did with Star Wars was also the first thing, the Phineas and Ferb crossover.

I know it's not the point you're making, but I'm not going to miss an opportunity to sing the praises of Andor because it really is the best Star Wars thing since like Empire Strikes Back.

Yup, best drama in a long while & I liked Better Call Saul. Been rewatching Futurama after maybe a decade and it’s still a lot of fun. I’m appreciating Zoidberg more and Hermes may be my favorite. A big plus is how pleasant the animation looks with lots of energy & obvious effort (glares at Bob’s Burgers.)

By at least one measure it’s never gone lower than the Lady Gaga episode in 2012. One day my curiosity will get the better of me, but I haven’t been able to bring myself to watch it so far.

Makes Disney and the Simpsons look bad, and it's not like either them still have to much of a reputation to begin with. Whats the last new classic animated film Disney put out, not including Pixar stuff? Like Mona?

That sounds a lot like he was sick that day, not a degraded voice. For like 2 decades now the agreement between the actors and Fox is to record their lines at their convenience in separate studios with little interference. It’s not like he’s trying to prove himself with his performance; so if he blocked half a day to get some Simpsons lines in the can I don’t see why he would reschedule if his voice was lovely because of a cold or laryngitis. He gets the millions per episode either way and there’s not a single producer or exec that can threaten him in a meaningful way. Just telling this to myself because if that’s just his voice now I’d be really sad

There was a Flanders clip shown that was basically the same thing, where it hardly sounded like him at all.

Pretty sure all the money from the Flintstones chewable morphine went directly to the Flintstones estates alas. It may of helped starts the opioid epidemic, but sure as hell bought Fred a nice luxury yacht.
