Damn, at this rate Lisa's Sax really isn't gonna make it. I'll consider that a travesty on the level of Homer Badman nearly falling...only thing that could be worse for me is if There's Something About Marrying doesn't make it through the Season 16 thread...

[Bartesque]

BTW Cartridge Family is on 9, so the score is:

The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson [17]
Lisa's Sax [12]
Treehouse of Horror VIII [5]
The Cartridge Family [9]
Das Bus [15]
Lisa the Simpson [9]
Simpson Tide [9]
Lost Our Lisa [17]

And if it comes down to it, I'll help save Lisa's Sax. It would be a total farce if it didn't make it, yet Lisa The Simpson did.

[MagicalManFromHappyLand]

Lisa the Simpson is a brilliant episode and I really like Lisa's Sax. Out of those there, Lost Our Lisa is probably my least favourite, I'm only not voting that down because there's no way it can be voted out now.

[Oh, that's raspberry!]

I think Lisa the Simpson is fine but overrated. People put on the "Last Oakley/Weinstein" Glasses a bit with it I think.

Ha, yeah I guess that might be part of it. I'm surprised 'Lost Our Lisa' is so highly rated, it's such a boring episode IMO.

Lost Our Lisa really feels like a Scully episode that tried to be a good Homer/Lisa episode and succeeded pretty well, unlike say Make Room for Lisa which sucks.

Actually Season 9 has Lisa episodes from three different showrunner eras, you could probably use them as a microcosm for the differences between the three eras, but I'm too lazy for that.

What's the third era?

I do like Lost Our Lisa, but I have a lot of problems with it, one of the biggest ones is that it feels like a Scully Episode.

Lisa's Sax of course, Jean/Reiss

I'm glad to see Lost Our Lisa doing well, it's a really nicely written episode that could fit into Seasons 7 or 8 for me, even though it does suffer from a touch of the (Mike) Scully.

Das Bus over Lisa the Simpson, though? No way.

[MagicalManFromHappyLand]

Lisa's Sax of course, Jean/Reiss

Never knew that, thanks

[Prune Tracy]

only thing that could be worse for me is if There's Something About Marrying doesn't make it through the Season 16 thread...

Ah, you and I, we're going to have such fun.

Das Bus over Lisa the Simpson, though? No way.

Why not both? That's what I'm hoping for.

Sorry, poor observational skills there from me.

Yeah I agree with this. It's still a fine episode, but not in my top 5 of season 9.

In fact, I may temporarily stop downing that, since it's still better than Lost Our Lisa.

RIP Natural Born Kissers. Second best of the season.
