i thought it was pretty decent episode. i don't remember too much about it but what i remember is that i was maybe a little bit unsatisfied with ending but i won't take too much credit off right now for that since i would need to analyze it anew. i'll right now stick to the old grade B/B+

**Moe Nopoly** · 10-04-2009, 07:06 PM

it was an ok episode for me, the story is entertaining, but in the end nothing special of really funny stands out from this one.

B-

**~~Bella Drape 'er~~** · 10-04-2009, 10:22 PM

I liked it. The Marge and Bart dynamic worked well.

But this is the first episode to me that feels bland.

So C+

An episode that, to me, is the definition of what is wrong with the post-classic era.

See Homer Run

Haven't seen this in while. J. Loren Pryor sounds completely different than he did in previous episodes. Was that intentional? B-

**Green Man** · 10-08-2009, 12:59 PM

Avarage episode, nothing wrong with it but it's nothing spetacular also. B-

**D'ohmer** · 10-08-2009, 03:11 PM

A good Homer/Lisa episode that's funny as well. B/B+

**Jesse Pinkman** · 10-08-2009, 05:16 PM

Not the best/not the worst. Had fairly good moments and some not good moments. C+ seems right

**Moe Nopoly** · 10-08-2009, 07:05 PM

more an average episode for me too. Nothing really stands out from this story. Seems it was all done before already one way or the other. But had some good moments too.

An amusing moving episode for me. B

**tom cody** · 10-09-2009, 12:58 AM

I enjoyed this episode a lot. Was hoping Homer would become mayor.

B-

**Roger Wilco** · 10-09-2009, 08:30 AM

See Homer Run. B. I remember this as a pretty decent political satire

**Fox Executive** · 10-09-2009, 11:42 AM

C+/B-. It's ok, I guess.

**Thrillho** · 10-10-2009, 03:32 PM

The Last of the Red Hat Mamas

Another decent one. Last of the S16 holdovers. Tomlin does a great job. First (last?) time Lisa kisses Milhouse. B-

**bartyboy** · 10-10-2009, 04:50 PM

One of my favorite post classics. 5/5

**Green Man** · 10-10-2009, 04:51 PM

good episode B+

**Moe Nopoly** · 10-10-2009, 07:04 PM

a good solid Marge episode for me

B

**D'ohmer** · 10-10-2009, 07:31 PM

Good episode. The main plot is solid fun with great laughs and a nice ending. The subplot felt like it should have been a main plot because while it's funny, the ending was abrupt. Overall: B+

**~~Bella Drape 'er~~** · 10-11-2009, 02:21 AM

Good episode. B+. Subplot was likeable but shouldn't have been the main plot, like Trab said, imo.

**tom cody** · 10-11-2009, 05:36 AM

A good Marge episode, she seemed like her post-classic self in this one.

B-

**Jesse Pinkman** · 10-11-2009, 05:53 AM

a decent episode, B

**qwertyuio** · 10-11-2009, 06:30 AM

Solid and enjoyable, probably the best Marge episode since Sweets And Sour Marge. The plotline is well-developed, and it's maybe the first time that her typical "I'm bored/I have no social life" dilemma didn't feel forced in a while. The Cheery Red Tomatoes group provided some great scenes, and I could see why Marge felt integrated there.
In addition, the episode had one of the funniest post-classic Homers that I remember, making some of the best gags as the scene at the supermarket or when he is meant to avoid Marge committing a crime and being discovered and ends up being followed by the police because of his bad driving.
The subplot was good, nothing really memorable but I found it pretty funny.

It's not a perfect episode (the Nelson gag or the twin language thing were awful), but there was something in its structure that I found refreshing. It was dangerously heading for a new marriage crisis, but it finished with a weird, though adorable (one of my guilty pleasures) plot change with the group's plans to steal the Fabergé eggs, Marge deciding to take part in it and Homer noticing it and running to "save" her wife. The idea as a whole is something that the writers don't usually seem to dare to do in these late seasons, but it could help to explore new ideas. This storyline, slightly reminiscent of Marge On The Lam, is a piece of originality in a rather repetitive season. 9/10

**Thrillho** · 10-11-2009, 02:15 PM

The Italian Bob

Eh. About average for a post-classic Sideshow Bob episode. Has its ups and downs. That "vendetta" stuff isn't funny. Grammer won an Emmy for his performance. B-

**Léo Pard** · 10-11-2009, 02:38 PM

The Last of the Red Hot Mamas : good episode, my second favorite from season 17. 15/20.

The Italian Bob : my least favorite Sideshow Bob episode. 9/20.

**Jesse Pinkman** · 10-11-2009, 03:37 PM

I always {or almost always} like Bob episodes and this was hardly an exception, B+/A-

**Green Man** · 10-11-2009, 04:03 PM

I like this episode, don't get why it gets so much hate over here. still, it's probably one of the worst Bob episodes. B-

**qwertyuio** · 10-11-2009, 04:52 PM

I hate it, worst of the season and easily bottom 20 of the series. There are so many things that I find wrong with it:
-The absolutely disjointed plot where the Simpsons go to Italy for a dumb reason, find Bob by sheer chance as a mayor of an Italian village and end up being pursued by him and his family when drunk Lisa discovers his criminal past, being finally saved by Krusty, who was there for a play. That has to be a joke, I mean, not only the premise for the travel vacation was lame as always, the plotline at all was terribly forced: Bob being the mayor of that specific place, him keeping dressed his old prisoner uniform, the family being easily convinced to help Bob in his attempt to murder the Simpsons, Krusty in Italy... It was too much.
-The jokes, and I can hardly understand how somebody could find them even mildly funny, with the bologna or "Vendetta!!" (and other Italian stereotypes) stuff and lots of awful one-liners like Homer's dictionary definitions. I only liked some visual gags and the "Plagiarism" thing.
-The characterizations. I think this is the first episode where I have felt uncomfortable at all with the portrayal of Bob. He used to be a cold, kinda polished and sadist guy who enjoyed making elaborate plans; here he is just a crazy and noisy maniac. And the rest of the characters were overly stupid.

So yes, great episode. 4/10

**D'ohmer** · 10-11-2009, 05:23 PM

This is my favorite Bob episode and favorite season 17 episode. The plot is epic, fast-paced and interesting and the humor is excellent (IMO). A

**Moe Nopoly** · 10-11-2009, 07:12 PM

one of my least favorite Bob episodes, but in general not so bad imo. Even when i don't like the fact so much, that he has now a family.

C+
