The Simpsons - "Postcards from the Wedge" - Talkback [3/14]

Plot? I thought this was a group of Simpsons looking characters bouncing around from one semi-realted youtube sketch to another.

In the middle of the episode, there's a 'joke' about Homer redirtying the dishes!? WTF!?

[Miss smiles alot (:]

Better episode than what I though at first... HeHeHe...
It was funny and it reminded me of episodes from earlier seasons.

Wow, this episode was win.

Moe's express, meaning express your anger and hatred. That was classic simpsons kind of peaking out there wasn't it...

10 for catching me off guard.

A review from the good folks at The Dead Homer Society:

There was some discussion around these parts about the fact that up at No Homers even people who think the show isn’t what it used to be loved this episode. Without delving into specifics let me just say that while I don’t agree (I thought it was terrible and boring), I do understand. This is the kind of episode that people always seem to clamor for: no celebrity guest voice, the plot centered on the family, they stayed in Springfield, there was even an Itchy & Scratchy episode. More so than most Zombie Simpsons episodes “Postcards from the Wedge” at least had the outward trappings of the real thing. Unfortunately, outward trappings are all it had. The guts of the episode was the same repulsive filler we’ve come to expect from Zombie Simpsons: ignored comedy opportunities, fake marital woes we’ve seen dozens of times before, blatant time killing, characters acting wildly unlike themselves. And even when they reign in their incoherent zaniness there’s still a long lost subway that causes earthquakes. This may indeed be the best they can do, but that doesn’t make it good, it just means that even their best is bad.
