Homer vs. Dignity. I was wrong about that episode. In the past I said it got off to a great start but I re-watched it the other sight and it was complete crap throughout.

Kids, let me tell you about another so-called ``wicked'' guy. He had long hair and some wild ideas. He didn't always do what other people thought was right. And that man's name was...
I forget. But the point is... I forget that, too. Marge, you know what I'm talking about. He used to drive that blue car?

Principal Skinner: No Ralph this means you're failing English
Ralph: Me fail English? That's unpossible.

Smart and Smarter - S15 E13
I actually hadn't seen it before, so it was a nice surprise. I find that the "classic era" for Al Jean's solo showrunning (seasons 14 - 16) offer pleasant viewing experiences when I catch the episodes I've never seen. I don't know if it's in comparison of the recent episodes or what, but I find myself enjoying them.
As much as I enjoy Al Jean, I do think season 16 should've been his last season as showrunner. I'm sure some think it should've been the last season of the series, but I think a new showrunner would've injected a freshness into it.
Seasons 1-9 - Classic era
10-12 - Scully era
13-16 - Silver age
16.5 - Into the abyss
17 - The shit abyss
18-24 - Zombie Simpsons
When You Dish Upon A Star - 3/5
------------
Lard of the Dance - 4/5



"Little Girl In The Big Ten" and "Papa's Got A Brand New Badge" both have decent premises (although the latter is essentially a rehash of "Homer The Vigilante"), but they're also rather dull and most of the jokes in them don't work for me. Yeah, there's nothing blatantly awful and no one is out of character in them, but I'm not going give an episode high grades for being inoffensive if it also fails at being entertaining.
I get that they're two of the most popular "post-classic" episodes, but I honestly don't enjoy them much. Mind you, there's only about two or three Jean-era episodes that I'd rate higher than C+, so it's not like I gave them freakishly low grades.
"The Frying Game" has a couple of decent jokes and the stuff with Homer and Marge in the third act is handled okay, but the bad far outweighs the good. F might be a bit harsh, but anything higher than a D- is being charitable.

The funniest joke in this episode is taken straight from Johnny The Homicidal Maniac. I'm not sure if I should count off for blatant plagiarism, or if I should compliment the writers for their great taste in comics.
