Rate and review: Boy-Scoutz N the Hood (1F06)

[Steve Allen]

This ep is in S5.

[George Cauldron]

Another classic from the fifth season. All the elements of a classic here: Plenty of one-liners, a decent plot structure, almost perfect characterization, and a nice musical number. Loved the seagulls coming out to sea to die, and the dolphins telling the quartet they're going to die. There isn't much satire, but hey, watch another episode if you want satire and emotion. This one works for me.

[Butters]

What George said.

[HomertheGreat]

Everything except for them being lost is gold. The father son picnic is probably one of the funniest scenes in the show's history. The ending was not very good. Homer smelling his way to a Krusty Burger in the middle of the ocean? Come on we can think of a better ending than that. B+/A-

Exactly what I was going to say! :D 7/10 But just so this isn't a wasted post, I'll leave you with a few one-liners that I loved:

--Flanders: "Godspeed, little doodle."
--Bart: "'Don't do what Donny Don't does.' Ohhh..."
--Homer: "Oh, there's a New Mexico."

Very funny, but the ending wasn't as good as the rest.

4/5

[pat]

This episode works for me. 4/5

[squishee lady]

I loved the Sugar Binge, but the rest was pure crap. D.

[The Brain]

This was a great episode, GC summed it up nicely. 9/10. My fav. line was:

Bart: "We were just planning the Father/son river rafting trip"
Homer: "Heh heh, you don't have a son"

[doyle]

One of the best elements in this episode are the problems Homer has with his brain.

The whole money can be exchanged for goods and services gag was gold.
And then when Homer thinks saying yes to the rafting trip will solve the problem of him not wanting to go.

I think that was the best use of that type of gag in the series.
Overall, a solid episode, one of the better of S5. But yes, there was a crappy ending. B+

[Generic]

5/5. Favourite scene: The whole "Duh, I'm the captain" bit.

[squishee lady]

Ok, you guys reminded me of a few good jokes, that doesn't change the fact that the plot was weak, but it does bump my grade up to C.

[Wezzo]

This one was fairly good; again for the reasons GC said, therefore I'll give it a 'B'.

[Frink]

It was an average classic episode - 3/5

[SideshowTim]

B+ Homer's rage towards Flanders is hilarious.

[Channel Surfer]

Grade: B+

Funny enough, even if a tad flawed. My biggest issue, what keeps it from the A range, is Homer's role in the episode. Him picking on Bart when he joins the junior campers is funny enough at first, but becomes downright irritating when it persists throughout the episode. And much of the raft ride isn't as great as it good of been either, again mostly due to Homer's wacky antics. That said, the rest is really fun to watch. Everything with Bart's sugar binge, whether it be the musical number or Lisa's "The few, the proud, the geeky" when he recovers. And Ernest Borgnine sticks out as one of the best self-played guest stars of the show. And, of course, the "Don't do what Donny Don't does" passage. Great.

4.5/5

My fave part was the Sugar dance with Homer

[Simpson Purist]

9/10

I like this episode a lot. If the ending you guys are criticizing is the final scene (the Friday the 13th parody), then yes I agree with you.

[kuumuus]

Borgnine: "Hey, where'd the bald fat guy and sissy go, huh?"

Great delivery!

[thealmightypog]

classic episode

Homer: "Water water everywhere so lets all have a drink!"

[Fox Executive]

hey, where are the sissy and the bald guy going?
Brilliant jokes, i loved 'You are all going to die' or the springfield, springfield song.

[ahhgoobras]

another classic from the season GREAT GREAT EPISODE 5/5

[Moe Nopoly]

A good, but not really a great episode for me.
I like the start with the musical part of the story a lot, also the scenes with Homer in the boat are funny.

3.5/5

[moonwalker69]

5/5. Being a fan of Gene Kelly musicals, the On The Town parody is one of the highlights of Season 5 in my eyes. Classic one-liners all round and one of my favourite episodes!

[Mr Johannson]

A ton of great lines and gags in this one.

5/5
