Episode 1 (#465) Video Arcade Nightmares (season premier)

The Noiseland Video Arcade is in extreme danger of going out of business due to the changing times of computer gaming. Bart and Homer don't want this to happen, so they decide to attempt to save the business. While there, they notice that most of the games are either too new to interest Homer or too old to interest Bart so they try to convince the arcade owner to get more diverse games. However, this does not go very well to the arcade owner because he claims it will cost him too much. Meanwhile, Marge and Lisa try to decide how to redecorate the attic.

Episode 2 (#466) Uncool Hand Lisa

Krustyburger decides to remove all vegetarian alternatives from its menu due to poor sales. Lisa is so enraged that she decides to go there late at night and glues shut all the windows and doors. Unfortunately, she is caught and gets sentenced to six months at a juvenile detention home. While there she finds out that Gina from The Wandering Juvie is her cellmate and they have an instant fallout. Every time Gina does something bad in prison she blames Lisa and the warden always believes Gina and punishes Lisa. When Gina throws gasoline in the wardens face and sets her face on fire she blames Lisa thus puts Lisa and Gina on trial again.

Episode 3 (#467) Boys will be Girls

A new doll is advertised on television called Lettuce Garden Children in which these dolls are suitable for girls AND boys since the commercials feature boys playing with boyish dolls and girls playing with girlish dolls. Lisa is thankful for the advertising since she insists boys need to learn parenting just as much as girls. But Bart dismisses it as an advertising gimmick. When the dolls take the country by storm, it turns out that Bart is the only kid at school who won't jump on the bandwagon and gets teased by the other students. Lisa claims the other kids are right to tease him due to his sexist believing but Homer fiercely disagrees with Lisa. While Marge, although agreeing with Lisa, respects Bart's position because the Lettuce Garden Children she bought for Lisa cost the family too much money which ends up putting the family at odds with each other.

Episode 4 (#468) Treehouse of Horror XXI

Story #1 Class of 2020

In this parody of Class of 1999, gang activity has rampaged Springfield Elementery so much that Principal Skinner brings in androids to teach the students and possibly a valuable lesson.

Story #3 The Lottery

A spoof of The Lottery by Shirley Jackson in which the setting is Springfield in the late 1940's

[Jesse Pinkman]

I like the main plot, no offense intended but the sub plot sounds like one of those out of say Maximum Homerdrive or Sunday, Cruddy Sunday, where it's just... there. But the main plot is pretty good, so the episode overall gets a B from me

[Bella Drape 'er]

bffwestwood just a word of advice, for future scripts/ideas you should merge it into one of your existing threads, to avoid the wrath of the moderators, ok? Just a word of advice.

[Jesse Pinkman]

Uncool Hand Lisa- B, but I think fire in someone's face is a little... risque/strange.

Boys will be Girls- B, Lisa sounds like she could be annoying

Class of 2020- C+/B-, don't know what it is referencing
The Stairs Down to the People- Undecided, I saw the movie and it was really gruesome and bloody, so I don't know how a parody would work
The Lottery- C+/B-, again, don't know the source, but sounds interesting.

You have some good ideas, but your THOH is weird, I only know of one of the parodies, but still your other ideas are good

Episode 5 (#469) Ned's Marriage Coot

[Mr Black]

Episode 3: Boys will be Girls

A new doll is advertised on television called Lettuce Garden Children in which these dolls are suitable for girls AND boys since the commercials feature boys playing with boyish dolls and girls playing with girlish dolls. Lisa is thankful for the advertising since she insists boys need to learn parenting just as much as girls. But Bart dismisses it as an advertising gimmick. When the dolls take the country by storm, it turns out that Bart is the only kid at school who won't jump on the bandwagon and gets teased by the other students. Lisa claims the other kids are right to tease him due to his sexist believing but Homer fiercely disagrees with Lisa. While Marge, although agreeing with Lisa, respects Bart's position because the Lettuce Garden Children she bought for Lisa cost the family too much money which ends up putting the family at odds with each other

Remember Lisa V Malibu Stacy? This is similar, though much worse. The rest are sorta good but try focusing them a bit more. They all seem to wander off and sound really weird.

When Gina throws gasoline in the wardens face and sets her face on fire she blames Lisa thus puts Lisa and Gina on trial again.

What is this? Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels? lol. keep going though

[Jesse Pinkman]

Ned's Marriage Coot- B, seems weird, who IS the father?

Model Behavior- C, sounds weird and not sure how it would play out, but sub plot could be entertaining

The Two Sideshows- C+/B-, seems short, maybe sub plot or something

Untitled Touching Project- D, sorry, but I really don't like the subject matter. Sub plot could be entertaining but main plot sounds like something out of Family Guy or South Park

[biffwestwood]

[Jesse Pinkman]

The High Priced Blues- B, though it sounds short

[Jesse Pinkman]

Practice what you can Preach- C+, weird episode TBH

The Wrestling Dilemma- B, sounds funny

Bart and Janey and Lisa and Milhouse- B+, sub plot sounds random and seems like it was "just thrown in", but the main plot could be really funny

The Gamblers- C+, sounds short and nothing really sounds funny

Smoking in the Girls Way- B, could work out well

The Two Live Elders- B, could work well, BTW if you are thinking of Grampa's friend, it is Jasper

Smithers the Burns- B, main plot is awesome, sub plot sounds like filler. Like, did one complain the other talked too much?

The Death of Radioactive Man?- C+/B-, Bart wouldn't really be THAT accepting of Radioactive Man's death, at least not at first. Also sounds short-ish.

The Devil and Ned Flanders- B, could work well

Summer School Days- C-, sub plot could be fun, but in the description you say that Lisa and Martin are the only students, and then you say how the bullies are also there. Small nit-pick

Could you grade episodes 11 and 12 for me? You forgot to grade those.

[Jesse Pinkman]

Sorry, I forgot:

Roller Coasters and Game Riggers- A, sounds simple but if handled well could be very funny

Bowling for Maggie- C+, weird, it's becoming a hangout for Homer, Bart AND Marge? She works there, do you means he hangs out when not working? But the rest sounds good

[biffwestwood]

I corrected Bowling for Maggie. I meant to say Bart, Lisa, and Homer.

[biffwestwood]

P.S. Now that I have finished my fantasy season 22 episodes, please feel free to provide me with your opinions on all my episodes.

When we get official word on a season 23, I will start this thread again with my fantasy season 23 episodes and hopefully I can use your input on making a whole new set of episodes that will possibly be a improvement over this previous list.

After every season, it gets harder to come up with ideas that haven't been done before.

[Jesse Pinkman]

I corrected Bowling for Maggie. I meant to say Bart, Lisa, and Homer.

I'll raise my grade to a B-

[biffwestwood]

Fantasy Season 23 coming up sometime

[biffwestwood]

I hate to revive this post but it turned out my fantasy episode titled "Smithers the Burns" is similar to yesterdays episode "American History X-Cellent"

That is now one future episode so far that I sort of predicted.
