Originally posted by Shadowstar: Holy fucking shit dude!! Season Five in December, this is GREAT!! It would be great if it were true, but they say this every year, and it always slips to the year after... Anyway, I've seen another ep, but it turns out it's not that new. I haven't seen it before though, so I'll review it anyway... "The Old Man and the Key". This was quite a reasonable episode, it was good to see Grandpa get a staring role, and Homer's role reversal with him was great. Some nice jokes, and quite a good plot, although it did remind me somewhat of that Season 2 ep where Grandpa falls in love with that woman who dies. This has enough newness to make it good. Pity about a couple of shitty jokes, like the hub cap following Grandpa, and that man turning to ashes when he says he's already dead. Pretty good otherwise though...

Well I just hope you're right. Only yesterday I checked amazon.com and it said that the studio isn't currently producing the title, but you could be notified when they do. So it's clool to see today they have a date. The worrying thing is that amazon.co.uk don't even have it listed at all...

The Way We Weren't 2. I, D'ohbot 3. Smart And Smarter 4. My Mother The Carjacker 5. Simple Simpson Overall, a few bad episodes, but currently the best season since Season 9... Also, I just want to say that I remember giving Season 14 a LOT of shit last year, and after re-watching a lot of Season 14 episodes, it wasn't half as bad as I remember it being. Still, Season 15's been better than 14 as a whole.

Newhook, here's the season 14 cuts guide: http://snpp.com/episodes/scg-14.txt Nothing too drastic but there are cuts, including some jokes. Also, this thread is nearing its end (20 pages expires a thread, right?) so we'll need a new one soon. I propose it be called "Revenge of the Simp".

Regina should have gotten a D-, if you are British you know why.

I saw "HOMR" for the second time today, and I have to say it got better. All jokes were fresh, and I picked up a new one, as follows: [Homer]Animation is better than......whatever the alternative is.[/Homer]
I also noticed that in the episode (name forgotten) that Barney quits being an alchoholic, when Bart and Lisa are standing on top of a hill, you see what looks like the St. Louis Arch in Springfield. Has this already been discussed and dismissed, or is this new?

Beamer: I thought Japan was portrayed very well, but the Aussie one at least has some funny jokes.

Originally posted by Beamer: For the record, my family happens to be British, and even though I live in Australia - I was born in the UK.

In "Bart vs Australia", they showed Australia as being some extremely backwards country with a Prime Minister who enjoys floating in a creek & living next-door to regular people, ... I'd prefer it if they did that than to have him make a guest appearnce on the show. The difference is that the austaralian jokes were funny, and there were lots of other non austaralian joke that were very funny to. The same can't be said for regina monolouges.

No offence M0le, but the episode has TONY BLAIR as a guest star. TONY FUCKING BLAIR!
Also, I want to punch the queen for being alive. This episode has increased my hate for her as well. It's a bad episode with a lame plot, deal with it.

I hate the Queen for being in it. I hate it when the World thinks we love her. I hate the Queen in general.

Slacky, you dissected my rambling gibberish in one go. Congratulation. It's hardly a good episode, with the exception of this one line: Lisa: Oh, no! The secret tunnel comes out in the worst possible place! Bart: An elephants butt? Lisa: Yes Bart, an elephants butt. The only way that episode could be saved would be if they replaced Tony Blair with Rowan Atkinson. Originally posted by Nurdy: No one in Cornwall loves that anthem, it's rascist and annoying. Nobody in Australia likes 'Advance Australia Fair', but it's still our national anthem.

Incase the roll-eyes smiley didn't give you a bit of a hint, my comment on the British national anthem wasn't meant to be taken seriously. Also, to justify my C- score... while it is a pretty crappy episode, I did like the MacBeth joke (especially the "good luck" gag at the end of it), and the fact that Homer somehow heard that "Bart's Moon Party" song and started singing it. I also enjoyed most of the small jokes during the opening minute with Mr. Burns drawing money out of an ATM, even though it created more continuity errors with his age... Still, if it wasn't for those things, this episode definately would've gotten a D at the least. Also, even though C- is the exact same score as a D+, I did like this episode a little bit more than the ones I gave a D+ to, hence the score. Although I'd give Bart vs Australia an A any day.

Originally posted by SlackJawedMoron: M0le's not calling The Regina Monologues good, as far as I can see. He's just amused by our loyal Britons (well, Nurdy) seemingly taking offence at their portrayal in the episode. Which is doubly amusing if you consider that in nearly every other episode of the Simpsons they're taking the piss out of Americans. I'm not really botherd by the potrayls, its just that almost none of it was funny. Its Ok for Simpsons to take shots at americans because they are americans, they actually observe other americans and their sterotypes have some basis in fact. and anyway its not like it would be ok for me to call black people 'nigger' If I also make fun of my own race.

Personally, I think there should be no more Vacation episodes. What nations are left anyway?

"The Simpsons Season 16: This time, it's for money!" "The Simpsons Season 16: Big Thread and Little Post" "The Simpsons Season 16: It Used to Be Matt's Show" "The Simposns Season 16: 'The Simpsons are going to PEEL!'" "The Simpsons Season 16: There's something about John Vitti" "The Simpsons Season 16: Homer gets a thread." Those are my admititly crappy suggestions for the next thread title. *Edit* Sorry, Slacky.
