The Episode Review
The latest Simpsons episode is very humourless. The plot is tired and has been done a million times before. Even seeing a fresh plot fail would be preferable to this. I would only recommend watching this one if you have nothing better to watch.
The Simpsons aired its latest episode and it was a complete disaster. This is the lowest point for the show and we’re not happy with where it’s going. ..
