    Worst episode ever!!!

    I've seen every episode of the Simpsons and this is one of the poorest efforts I can remember. A completely ridiculous premise for an anthology episode. I think maybe its time for the Springfield gang to wrap it up.

    Just bad.

    Cancel the show already. It's just sad... Now The Simpsons has a religious agenda? Give up.

    Watch the couch gag, but turn it off immediately after

    A laugh out loud moment to start with at the Bob's Burgers reference, but it quickly went downhill. The star rating refers to this.

    A Ned backstory? They already gave him (a much better one) many years prior. This episode seemed totally unnecessary. The episode POV from God and St Peter was preachy and boring as hell. Do they really need so many "church" episodes?

    One redeeming feature was Moe kissing the fish. That gave me a chuckle. Although I was trying to work out if it was a (very outdated) parody of Inglorious Basterds? 10 years late and barely amusing.

    bugle boy of John 3:16...

    Hilarious. Great writing... I've been watching the Simpson's since "The Tracey Ulman Show". In my opinion this is a great episode. I give it a 9/10. Enjoy!

    Not bad but unsophisticated

    It's a worthwhile topic this episode addresses, and the message is welcome, but it's very straightforward. Much as you expect from Zombie Simpsons. I might have laughed once. I just finished watching and I don't even remember.

    • Trivia
      Like most cartoons, the people in the Simpsons have 4 fingered hands (3 fingers and 1 thumb), and similarly 4 toed feet, as it is widely found to be difficult to fit in 5 fingers so that they look correct and the hand doesn't look large and crowded. However, here both God and Jesus have 5-fingered hands and 5 toed feet.
    • Goofs
      In the credits, Aldrine Guerrero's credit misspells "ukulele" as "ukelele".
    • Quotes

      Lisa Simpson: Let me share the Buddhist path to heaven with an enlightened tale I call 'The Princess Not Affiliated with Disney'... unless we are now owned by Disney.
