R&R Two Cars In Every Garage, Three Eyes on Every Fish

[Tamaki Suoh]

Definitely a classic, wonderfully-written episode with great satire and parodies. 5/5

[jonnymack]

Definitely what the Simpsons should be all about. Excellent.

[Stevie V. Scrivello]

A razor-sharp political satire rife with Citizen Kane references and boasting one of the best-ever classic-era characterizations of Mr. Burns, "Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish" works on every level. It's a true classic.

5/5

[TheRob]

"Gum used to seal crack in cooling tower."

"I'm as shocked as you are!"

I've always wanted to use the line "the voters now see you as imperial and god-like" in a political story.

[mickmac_59]

A wonderful episode. Great family portrait, great depiction of Burns as evil incarnate (I LOVE the Citizen Kane references - was this the first time they dipped into that well?), great lines ("You are noble & poetic in defeat, sir" amongst others) - a classic. 5/5.

[Drumstick]

Good episode with good Burns characterization and a good look at politics interesting way of fitting the simpsons and a pretty solid episode.4.5/5

[Fox Executive]

5/5

[Capt Hammer]

4.99/5 ahh stuff it 5/5

[TerwilligerBob]

A early, and great example of the Simpsons knack with political humor. Hilarious and very clever, especially for early season 2. 5/5

[Fox Executive]

This is the #1 Citizen Kane reference ever

[sconer]

Definitely a great eraly episode with Mr. Burns and an interesting storyline with Mr. Burns campaigning to be Governor. 4.5/5

[ThatAsianGuy]

overrated, 3.5/5 (C)

[Krusty Komedy Klassic]

4/5, Exellent!

[Simpsonsfan1981]

Absolutely brilliant. One of the best and most well-written examples of political satire I have ever seen. Characterization, plot and dialogue were well above excellence. I think this is perhaps one of the best episodes of the show in its history. 5/5

[Inamon]

Sideshow Bob Roberts just beats it in political satire, but it's still pretty damn good. a

[Jesse Pinkman]

2/5, i'm sorry, but this is such a boring episode with hardly any jokes. maybe later i will rewatch it and my grade will be higher

[hughes]

Classic episode, great satire and the first episode to give a secondary character a starring role. Burns is in perfect form here (even if his voice is still a little off), and this is the best Homer characterization thus far, too. I love this exchange at the beginning:
BART: I'm Bart Simpson, who the hell are you?
DAVE SHUTTON: I'm Dave Shutton, and in my day kids didn't talk to their elders that way
BART: Well, this is my day sir, and we do!
Also, I love Burns talking about having the Simpsons killed. Like most of Season 2, it goes for the emotional ending, but this time it doesn't seem too sappy like it does in some episodes ("Bart Gets Hit by a Car"). This is probably the first really laugh-out-loud episode of the series, and, needless to say, the first I give a 15/15

[Financial Panther]

I really don't like it much. (Maybe because I've never seen Citizen Kane)

[Nauru-1]

Hard not to like this one. One of the edgier episodes of season 2 in regards to its political satire. I think I'm appreciating season 2 more now. 4/5

[TheForbiddenDonut]

I really don't like it much. (Maybe because I've never seen Citizen Kane)

Episode only has three overt Kane references and they have no bearing whatsoever on the story, which is the kind of modern political satire that has nothing to do with Kane.

And the episode is still phenomenal after all these years.

[D'ohmer]

I think this episode is overrated. I've never really liked this episode. I just think it's dull and boring. 3/5

[TheForbiddenDonut]

^ Incisive criticism!

But seriously what's not to love?

[D'ohmer]

The plot is too slow and uninteresting for me. I also don't remember many funny gags. The animation is also not very good, but I can't really complain because it's season 2.

[The Governor]

The plot is too slow and uninteresting for me. I also don't remember many funny gags. The animation is also not very good, but I can't really complain because it's season 2.

You're doing a really good job. Keep it up!

[TheForbiddenDonut]

Well I believe the plot develops at typical Simpsons speed, introducing a conflict in the first act only to develop in the second, and then resolve it in the third. The episode is even replete with montages that speed things along. Quite a quick pace if you ask me. I suppose it is your place to call something uninteresting, but Burns running for governor is one of the most dynamic ideas for a story, oozing with plentiful opportunities for trenchant political gags. I failed to notice any frame-rate errors or instances of inconsistency, save for a close-up of Homer's mouth that gets the coloring wrong. Animation seems smooth to me, with quite the sufficiency of cinematic directorial techniques. Are you seeing something I'm not?

You don't have to respond; I'm just in the mood for essay nerd-ism.

[D'ohmer]

To be fair, I haven't seen this one in awhile. I guess I'll give it another go. Those things I mentioned might not apply to my opinions after another view. I'll also try not to dismiss it for being season 2.

[Ben Chan]

The plot is too slow and uninteresting for me. I also don't remember many funny gags. The animation is also not very good, but I can't really complain because it's season 2.

Homer needs to be louder, faster, and have access to a time machine...

Perhaps Trab Pu Kcip is more inclined towards episodes with panda rape and psychotic-marge

[CeetjeBeetje]

Great episode, 4/5.

[Mr Black]

Mr Burns drunk
deserves a 4/5 just for that. A bit boring here and there I suppose.....

[hughes]

I really don't like it much. (Maybe because I've never seen Citizen Kane)

I haven't either, and it's still in my Top 25
