One of the greatest "gag episodes" ever.

5/5

Team Homer..Team Homer...wha?

[George Cauldron]

One of the best. This was the first full episode I saw, back in 1998, not when it premiered though. It was a repeat on Sky One. Anyway, this is the episode that turned me into a Simpsons fan. Plus, as someone whose parents are avid bowlers, and who bowls quite often, this was an hilariously entertaining episode for me. 5/5.

[brentmoney]

4/5.

This is great one just for the humor.

[|RABiD|]

An excellent episode thats chocked full of great gags. Why cant Mike Scully write like this anymore?

[Dr Zaius]

BRILLIANT! 4.5/5

[bmac]

4/5. It is just a very funny episode.

[Peacefrog22]

To quote Homer: It was good..but not great. Good episode but not fantastic. 4/5

[Simpson Purist]

8/10

A solid Mike Scully episode with good gags and a decent subplot. Plus it has Homer's "suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked" speech.

[Bender]

5/5.

[Capitol City Goof]

4.5/5. I would write more, but I gotta go, my damn weiner kids are calling me.

[okayagain]

4/5. Great stuff. I was a bit disappointed by the ending the first time I saw it, but I guess I just wanted to see them get the trophy.

[Paul]

It was a good episode, 4/5.

I'm tired of being a wanna-be league bowler,
I wanna-be a league bowler!

5/5

[Maradona]

Pretty Good, 4.2/5

[Jessfrogger88]

Very good. Funny doesn't really stick out all that much but a solid 4/5. I really like the different teams. Pin Pals, Holy Rollers, The Sterotypes, Single etc..

[MacGyver 666]

5/5 a very funny episode with that great gag with Homer flushing the Oscar down the toilet.

[snrub]

5/5 - An episode I haven't seen in a long time but still quality

[Tamaki Suoh]

Not an absolutely fantastic episode, but still very good. Funny, memorable, with a great plot and subplot. Burns was kind of out of character, but at least he turned back into his normal self by the episode's end. All the teams were funny to see, and Homer's own team was an interesting comprising of characters. 4/5

[tom cody]

4/5, a pretty good episode.

[Moe Nopoly]

i think it's a great episode.
Especially the story idea with Homer and his bowling team the "Pin Pals" is great.
Like this episode a lot, also Mr. Burns is really funny in this one

4.5/5

[Kit Starter]

Great scheme for an episode. Good enough for a 5/5 from me.

[joe miller]

5/5, the main plot wasn't as good, but i liked the sub plot a lot

[JimBob]

A classic and funny episode,5/5.

[The Wiggs]

"I haven't felt this energized since my last, boweling" 5/5

[ILoveTheSimpsonsALot]

4/5

[Riviera]

It's a pretty funny episode, but not the best. 4/5.

[Melvin]

It's amazing that I'm the first person to rate this episode below a 4/5.

I haven't seen the episode recently, so I'm lost on the specifics, but I just wasn't too wowed by it. The main plot breaks down into two things: one) about Homer being nice to Burns, something that he doesn't ever have a choice in and in which nothing really happens rather than plays out from the start-- Burns accidentally pays for the team, wants to join, forces himself into the team, they try to get him out, he stays anyway and I think some feelings are hurt along the way. In a way it suffers just how the other aspect of the plot works-- Homer's team goes through the motions of the bowling championship, playing games, until they get to the end, and then it ends. I just don't feel any reason to think it's a narrative, even if some jokes are funny (though really not as funny as typical Mirkin besides the Moleman thing).

The main plot is still fun, but I wish more time had been devoted to the school subplot, which once underway only has a 10 second scene to show Bart's forgotten ways before the rain comes down. I take the impetus of it as being the one last hurrah for Bart's bad-boy nature (in the classic era at least). It has the chance of becoming funny, but they keep the wackiness of the idea of the plot out of the humor of it-- school uniforms turn students into zombies until the shine of color unexpectedly comes through and the spell is broken. Think of all the radical books/films which have this premise (I can't think of the "original"/famous example), but I don't believe they ever do reference anything with it.

So yeah, not enough time to take on an interesting Springfield Elementary plot (and the last potential exploration of Bart's Season 3 coolness in the schoolyard), and a funny-enough main plot which just doesn't quite do much for me in its course.

[Bella Drape 'er]

The uniform subplot could have been longer, but I'm not complaining.

Fun episode. 4/5

[HMS pinafore]

not the one classic to rule them all but still a fun episode about homer and his bowling team

4/5

[Bleedin' Gums Murphy]
