Who could have imagined that an episode involving Cletus' family would turn out so great?! So much to love here in both stories, whether it's the genuinely scary "Dark Stanley" story, to Lisa rescuing the Spuckler children form the clutches of Krusty.

After saving Springfield from a fire, Bart is awarded his own driver's license, leading him to North Haverbrook where he meets a teenage girl named Darcy (voiced by Natalie Portman). Meanwhile, Lisa pretends her family has Native American heritage.Honestly, the Bart story was pretty fun, especially the reversal of him now having to give others a lift. Lisa's story was harder to buy into, although it's believable that someone who's worked so hard for her academic reputation to be afraid of being ...

It's another trilogy episode, with this one focusing on the theme of "revenge". Normally these are pretty pointless, and this one is to an extent, however the last two segments are almost Treehouse of Horror worthy. A pretty fun episode overall!

Can you believe it? Homer makes an effort! Trust us, we were just as surprised as you were. Honestly though this was quite an enjoyable story that saw Homer take the family to Barnacle Bay, in order for Marge to relive a happy childhood memory. It then transitions into a parody of The Perfect Storm, with an environmental message at the end. A bit of a mixed bag, but hey, at least we got introduced to Fausto!

Is this a Christmas episode? Not really. It's more of a "how can we take away the one thing we like about the Gil character?" type of episode. After Gil is fired from Costingtons on Christmas Eve, The Simpsons agree to let him spend the holiday with them. However, he never leaves. Even when asked, he guilt trips his way into staying longer. Nobody comes out looking good by the end of this episode, however we do our best to find some positives! Seriously though, WTF was that plot with Homer the T...

It's the one with The White Stripes! Honestly, that's probably the most memorable thing from this whole episode. Most of the story felt like rinse-and-repeat, with another "Lisa gets jealous of Bart's success" plot, combined with a bunch of Homer gags that simply do not land. On a more positive note, we're back in the studio together! That's right, Guy and Dando are back in the same room for the first time in over three years and boy was it a lot of fun.
