I think that, of many reviews I have seen at the NHC, most of the people there really didn't care for "Bart Gets an Elephant". They didn't really hate it, but it isn't on their list as a favorite of season 5. Personally, I find it to be a pretty good episode. It isn't a favorite, but I don't think that it deserves such heavy criticism. I mean, sure the premise was ridiculous (well, maybe not "ridiculous" per se, but it was a very gag-centric episode), but many episodes prior to it had plots that were far from believable as well. I can acknowledge that the ep isn't the most down-to-Earth, but it is funny, in my opinion. I'm sure to some people, it seems like it should be a Scully-era episode, but I don't agree. It wasn't entirely stupid and the characters weren't annoying, jerks, or cliches of their former selves (granted, there is a big difference between season 5 and season 11 and 12). So, not on my list of favorites, but enjoyable enough.

This talk of a Simpsons movie was utter bollocks, I take it?

Originally posted by DotheBartman: Finally did, yeah. However he said I shouldn't post what he said as its sort of hush hush. He didn't clearly indicate what the hope of the shorts coming to dvd is though, other then that a stand-alone collection of them would be pretty unlikely. Boo. Thanks anyhow. Moving on: Someone posted this at NHC: Sunday, May 2 (8:00-8:30 PM ET/PT), Homer fights crime all pie himself in the form of his crime-fighting alter ego, the Pie Man. But when Mr. Burns unmasks him and exposes his secret identity, Homer is blackmailed into tossing a pie at – of all people – the Dalai Lama.
Sunday, May 9 (8:00-8:30 PM ET/PT), Homer reveals that Marge wasn't the first girl he ever kissed on "The Way We Weren't" episode. As he and Marge recount their own versions of their time spent at summer camp, Homer realizes he has caused Marge 30 years of heartache. But they discover something from their past that proves their love was destined.
Sunday, May 16 (8:00-8:30 PM ET/PT), "Bart-Mangled Banner," the Simpsons are thrown in prison after Bart accidentally moons the American flag.
Lisa and Mr. Burns go head-to-head – well, maybe toe-to-toe – on the season finale of THE SIMPSONS (Sunday, May 23, 8:00-8:30 PM ET/PT). Mr. Burns buys up all the media outlets in Springfield in an effort to polish his image, but soon finds himself at odds with Lisa, who starts publishing her own newspaper. Simple Simpson sounds interesting now, especially considering all the (well timed) uproar here in Canada considering the Dalai Lama's visit. The Way We Weren't sounds like expected, as does Fraudcast News, and my expectations for Bart-Mangled Banner just dropped a significant amount.

Originally posted by Zed 85: Can I be permitted to say "What the fuck!?!" Yes, yes you can. Leelaholic, how can you possibly think that episode sounds good? There's a fine line between regular Simpsons wacky and fucked up crazy off-the-wall utterly insane wacky. This episode's plot appears to have crossed it. It's going to take an awful lot to redeem itself. And I don't think even Nichelle Nichols can help. Oh, also... Sunday, May 16 (8:00-8:30 PM ET/PT), "Bart-Mangled Banner," the Simpsons are thrown in prison after Bart accidentally moons the American flag. I recall a certain cartoon lobster doing something similar to a flag and having similar concequences. What was his name, Boidzerg? Eh, it's not important...

To me,I think they are trying to do a parody of Spider-Man in Simple Simpsons. i mean,did anyone see the preview were Homer (still in coustome)kisses Marge upside down?That is defenately from Spider-Man. Fraudcast News is very interesting. Burns hasn't done too much big schemes that much lately. The Way We Were't is sounding AWESOME! Also,we have only seen bits and peaces of Homer's kid life and we mostly saw Marge's childhood in Fear of Flying. I think that Bart Mangled Banner is going to be the most HORRID,UnAMARICAN,DISGUSTING and FOWL EPISODE OF SEASON 15!!

Its called head lice and its nothing to be ashamed of Originally posted by Woodbot 2.0: I think that Bart Mangled Banner is going to be the mostHORRID,UnAMARICAN,DISGUSTING and FOWL EPISODE OF SEASON 15!!
I know it sounds great. Actually I'm not too sure it seemed to have great potential but I'm not sure about the whole family being thrown in prison. I'd have thought that it would be a better plot that the media blows the events out of proportion and the Simpsons become ostracised by everyone.

Originally posted by sheep555: I might catch cooties You can't. I'm sacred. Edit: Also, I was thinking about "Bart-Mangled Banner" and something came to me. Maybe it doesn't center just on the family's incarceration (that would be too much like "The Frying Game" ). Maybe it centers around the media hype that comes from it. Sorry if that's been said already. I don't check NHC that much anymore.

It's still 35 minutes until the American premiere, but I'm glad to see that it won't suck. Maybe I will bother to tape this one. Edit: Newhook, if you're refering to the montage shown in the promo, I'll tell you now that it's a parody of the movie Catch Me If You Can (which this episode's title is derived from).
