Springfield docent like museums

vovatI thought this week's Simpsons episode was noticeably better than last week's. The first act had most of the funniest moments (Carl being tired of dumbing things down for Lenny, the graveyard construction scene, Bart's zombie obsession), but the rest was a pretty good character-driven story, and Lisa managed to overcome her fear in an amusing way that wasn't totally ridiculous. One minor problem was that there were several bits that seemed like they were going to go somewhere but didn't, like Lisa's shock at Homer and Marge talking behind their friends' backs (that whole scene felt somewhat out of place), the therapist (although that scene did provide some good meta-humor), and the various things that happened in the graveyard. I guess the latter were mostly there just to scare Lisa and provide some quick laughs, but these moments made the episode in general come off as slightly disjointed. Oh, well.
On the other hand, I thought Family Guy was better last week. The beginning of this week's episode seemed kind of derivative of the Daggermouth one. It was still pretty funny, and the premise was interesting, but there have been better ones in recent times.
This has been my third entry today, hasn't it? I find entries about things in continuing series (like Simpsons episodes and Discworld books) to be particularly easy to write. Certainly easier than trying to make what I had for dinner sound interesting. Oh, that reminds me. I should eat something. Maybe some fish. Wasn't that interesting? {g}

Date: 2005-09-19 06:51 am (UTC)I liked this week's FAmily Guy, too, but it wasn't quite as good as last week's, and, yeah, I was kind of waiting for a Daggermouth Callback (other than the Wooden Limb Guy), but that worked out OK, too.
The American Dad was, again So-So. Better than last season, but not great or anything. Good at making 30 minutes go away, though.
The War At Home needs to be cancelled now, though. Urgh. Aila and I only could stand about 3 or 4 mintues of it.
