The B-Plot seems uninteresting and the Lisa story is reminding me of Trilogy of Error...guess we'll see.

"MythCrackers"? I hope they fire a cannonball at the wrong target.
Well, ya'know if you stay positive and forget about trivial things like "proper characterization," "Satire," and "emotional depth" watching new Simpsons episodes can be a seemingly enjoyable lie.

My expectations for the show are so low right now thanks to the PABF episodes.
I want to be optimistic but... it's really hard. Any word on who the writer will be for the next two episodes?
I've already written off Rags to Riches (aka the British Towelie ep) but I'd like to think there's at least potential for The Daughter Also Rises to wind up decent.

Yea, but just because they got the actors, doesn't mean they have the rights to the show. They probably still had to change it. (Of course even if they DID have the ok for it, they still would have came up with a dumb pun. This is Al Jean were talking about!)

Moe Goes From Rags to Riches looks awful, probably a D+ at best. The Daughter Also Rises may surprise us, but at the moment, it seems C-ish.

Yeah, this new trend I don't get at all. Like when they had Nick Park, but had him be the creator of Whatever & Crumble Originally Posted by Dark Homer

I've had no hope for "The Daughter Also Rises" before, I still have no hope after. The "MythBusters" thing is different but I have a feeling it's going to turn out bleh.

Can they get Gabor Csupo? It's not as if he has been busy with his animation studio for the past ten years or anything.... Originally Posted by Wooster

But anything that differs from current polished, stiffed and zombielike animation would be a bless.

On the positive side, none of LaZebnik's recent episodes are really awful either. Originally Posted by MDB

I don't see why Rob can't at least put together a "3 out of 5" effort with slight potential for a 4 with this Lisa-dates-Scott-Pilgrim plot which I'll take as an improvement for the PABF production line from the litany of 1s churned out thus far.

"At Long Last Leave" sounds like a strong contender for the most mean spirited episode ever which is my biggest concern over this episode that they are trying to convince us is "more than good times five"
I was hoping for this episode to have no g
