Two Dozen and One Greyhounds

This was a memorable episode based on an obvious spoof of One Hundred and One Dalmatians coupled with the humor and charm of The Simpsons. Mr Burns is invariably the perfect villain even if this was written before he was officially part of the Disney universe. I've watched this one over and over again and it never seems to get old. It is one of my favorites.

The Easter eggs scattered throughout were a lot of fun as well. I am relatively certain they have snuck some in there that likely slipped past me so it's worth keeping an eye out for them. We might need more greyhound puppy follow ups in future episodes.

Santa's Little Helper mates with another greyhound and they have puppies.

This is a strong episode with some great visual humour.

The premise is reasonably good with another dog behaviour situation for the family to deal with before it turns into an amusing spoof of 101 Dalmatians.

Some of the sight gags are great, especially what happens slightly off camera during the racetrack sequence, Homer having his potato chips stolen and the brilliant final shadow joke.

All characters are used well by the writers and animators, particularly the Simpson family, all those canines and Montgomery Burns.

This was an OK episode but it just didn't strike my fancy. I need my fancy struck. This was slow moving and based on cuddly little puppies. It's a parody of the Disney film and Burns is the one who plans to skin the dogs.
