Chosen as a holiday replacement by Smithers because his irrepressible incompetence would disqualify him from taking over full time, Homer inadvertently causes his geriatric employer to discover new reserves of self-sufficience вЂ“ rendering SmithersвЂ™ job redundant. Homer steps into the shoes of Mr BurnsвЂ™ toadying assistant Waylon Smithers for this consistently hilarious episode. Homer the Smithers вЂ“ Season seven, episode 17 Mr Plow also features exquisite cameo appearances from country singer Linda Rondstadt and the late Adam West. But when rival barfly Barney Gumble sets up a rival вЂњPlow KingвЂќ service, the scheme starts to go disastrously wrong. PODДЄ typically impulsive decision to buy a plow truck turns into a fruitful business for Homer in this classic episode. Rarely shy of social commentary, The Simpsons critiques the superficial and damaging consumerism endemic in America culture. There are a lot of layers at work here, which is partly why 'Bart's Not Dead' avoids the stale, recycled quality of so many contemporary episodes.Lisa takes aim at the sexist depiction of her favourite toy, Malibu Stacey, questioning the Barbie substituteвЂ™s effect on young girls. It also has plenty to say about the people gullible enough to take a kid like Bart Simpson at his word, while at the same time throwing a well-placed jab at the news media for making people so desperate for this kind of escapist feel-good fare in the first place. This episode makes some great jabs against the for-profit, 'faith-based' film industry. I don't know what you people did to him, but he's never been the same since.' The key is that the show focuses most of its snark not against religion itself, but the people who misrepresent its teachings or try to profit from it.

1998's 'Thank God It's Doomsday' has what may be my favorite line in the entire series when God tells Homer, 'My son went to Earth once. The Simpsons generally has a pretty strong track record when it comes to lampooning religion. Before long, Homer and Bart found themselves becoming Springfield's answer to Todd and Colton Burpo (of Heaven Is For Real fame). True to form, Homer managed to make Bart cave where the bullies couldn't, and it wasn't long before Bart found himself hospitalized and scrambling for a way to weasel out of getting in trouble. I'd just as soon not see the writers portray Marge as anything other than the naive, optimistic face of the Simpson clan she is normally. That's more Family Guy or Rick and Morty territory.

Marge revealing that she deals with her Homer-induced stress through a combination of willful ignorance and wine really didn't sit well. Episode 03: My Way or the Highway to Heaven. According to Business Insider, it actually happened in 2017. During season 10, episode 5: When You Dish Upon a Star, the series showed the 20th Century Fox logo with A Division of Walt Disney Co. There's been a noticeable swing back to a more sentimental take on the Simpson family dynamic in recent years, and that's something 'Bart's Not Dead' captures well, particularly in terms of the Bart/Lisa relationship.Д®xcept for one scene, that is. The Simpsons writers somehow knew that Disney would buy a large part of 20th Century Fox. One of many reasons this show lost its voice in the early 2000s is that the characters became more jaded and cynical. What stood out the most to me in 'Bart's Not Dead' is that the whole conflict began because Bart made an extremely un-Bart-like decision in the early moments, electing not to bow to peer pressure and ruin Lisa's jazz performance. But the subject matter and execution are just fresh enough in this case that this episode doesn't play like a bland retread. 'Bart's Not Dead' follows a very traditional, straightforward structure, giving us yet another conflict built around Homer and Bart making boneheaded decisions and then trying to cover their butts. The trouble with following The Simpsons 30 seasons in is that it becomes more and more rare to watch a new episode that doesn't feel annoyingly reminiscent of an older, better classic. 'Bart's Not Dead' sticks to treading more traditional ground, and in the process becomes one of the series' better season premieres in recent memory. Last season began with the gimmicky, medieval-themed 'The Serfsons,' an episode that failed to give the show much early momentum. Not that the series went out of its way to mark the occasion (aside from a quick nod during the intro). That's another huge milestone for the series in 2018, after it already broke Gunsmoke's record as the longest-running primetime scripted series in history. September 30 seems like an appropriate day for The Simpsons to kick off its 30th season.
