The animation quality has definitely improved but the overall quality of the show has went down. The episode was dull and boring. The plot was bizarre. I had to turn it off halfway. I've never seen a Simpsons episode this bad. The first few episodes this season were okay but this episode was just terrible. They should definitely try to return to the old quality of their episodes with great plots and dynamic between the characters. There is a reason no one watches the Simpsons anymore really. On a more positive note they could definitely return back to their old quality just with the better animation. But so far they have not.

It was overall a well done episode and a good starting point to the season! I enjoyed Cartman's subtle character development as Cartman constantly being a menace was starting to get overused and tiring. I like how they kept Cartmans personality and he is still over the top but have made subtle changes to make him more bearable and this will probably make his meltdown moments funnier as I found it to be in this episode. Cupid Ye was downright hilarious and I definitely enjoyed seeing Cupid Me return. However there were some parts of the episode I did not enjoy which goes for most things. I was definitely happy seeing that they ended Tegridy Farms as it had definitely run its course through the seasons. However I would have liked some context onto why they moved back to South Park. To me it was pretty confusing to see Randy in his crazy Tegridy phase jumping back to his home in South Park and in his geologist uniform. I'm unsure if it will be addressed further into the season but I guess I'll just have to see. Also again with the out of context events I found Kyle and Tolkiens friendship come completely out of no where. I thought it was pretty random and was hoping with Stan back from the farm they would have a stronger friendship unlike the last few seasons where it went up and down. I also have seen the jump in the different voices of the characters through seasons. I definitely miss when their voices were higher pitched but now all the characters voices (with the exception of Kenny and butters) kind of sound bland and everyone sounds the same. Overall it was a really great episode and I found it pretty entertaining.
