Well I watched the new episode last night but danged if I can remember any of it.
That’s your brain’s self-defense mechanism kicking in.
Wish I had one of those.
My local Fox affiliate stayed with a damn story about a dam that might collapse.
This whole episode is a masterpiece. This is probably the greatest B plotline in any Simpsons episode and really balances itself out with the genuinely grounded main story that is Bart having a childhood crush. The court scene is incredible television. Lionel Hutz is Godly throughout and though is still shown as a shyster, this is probably the only time he looks even the least bit competent at his job.
I have said it before and I’ll say it again, Season 4 of The Simpsons is the peak of television and the cultural achievement of the twentieth century. x
