Featured reviews
I watched the first two Godfather movies, and I didn't like them. They seemed boring to me, and their plot wasn't as clear while watching, and the victims weren't as terrified as they're portrayed in this episode of The Simpsons. Besides, that kind of cinema is mostly enjoyed by the kind of people I dislike - the ones who used to bully me in school.
Being a popular show, The Simpsons became a favorite of those who mocked me and socially isolated me. When I watched The Simpsons in my perpetual loneliness, I questioned whether I should continue watching, since it was also enjoyed by my enemies, who outnumbered me. I felt like I was alone against a larger group, thinking that the show and other popular works were made for people who had friends and a socially healthy mindset.
So, not only do I believe this episode is overrated due to annoying comedic details that miss the mark, like ending the episode with Michael, Fat Tony's son, in an absurd way by playing with toy cars, or Bart and Homer laughing in front of Michael while changing weapons in their hands - jokes that are out of tone and style compared to the show's golden era - but also because I remember someone I didn't get along with in school really enjoyed this episode.
I'd like to be like Michael if I ever encounter one of those people again. But the truth is, it's an episode with a good plot, but it's tainted by my childhood memories and those jokes that no longer follow the classic style of the series.
It's a pity to have to partially judge an episode for something the writers couldn't control, but when it comes to rating, I have to consider the emotions that the works I consume evoke in me.

The Simpsons is finally back for its 18th season and what many believe its last season. Season 18 kicked off with a great episode with great guest stars. We all know about the downfall this show took after season 9 but It looks like the funny is coming back.
This episode is full of great visual jokes and the couch gag was very funny. It's always good to see Fat Tony and its great to see an expanded version of his life and how he has a son. Although I thought the opening Act didn't help establish the story to much once Act 2 came around it really picked up.
If this is what we are in for this season I simply cant wait! and thats something I haven't been able to say about The Simpsons for some time.

A definite must see for all Simpsons Fans.
It's funny, entertaining, believable, and the guest appearances are awesome.
Although I will not say what the opening couch gag is, i will say that it is one that many of you will prefer to see. I do not know if Lisa has played a repeated tune though.
The Storyline is Lisa is friendly to Fat Tony's son. As a sign of appreciation tony invites the Family over for dinner. As soon as Michael says he'd rather be a chef than take over his dad's role in the Mafia, Tony is shot by a rival family member. over the family business. Fat Tony's key assistants ask Michael to be the new king of the Mafia, but after he objects, Homer hits the plate and takes the mob on a major Spree.
This is an episode you do not want to miss.

Lisa Simpson: It was an accident, wasn't it Michael?
