Sex, Pies and Idiot Scrapes

The Simpsons' new episodes are not so bad but this episode is so funny and has of the coolest concepts ever

This episode, Homer and Ned team up to becoming bounty hunters which is pretty cool to watch and see a Homer and Ned bonding episode. The b plot with Marge becoming an erotic baker was alright. There are some funny moments in this episode too. There are some cons though with Homer and ned break being a little forced but overall this is a pretty good start to season 20 and I'm would like to see if they could do something like this with Homer and Ned in the future.

Also the saint pattys parade got some laughs out of me. That is all to say for the season premiere episode that I watched today .....

Sex, Pies and Idiot Scrapes is an okay episode. I have watched 2 other Season 20 episodes, and there is 1 okay, and 2 good episodes. This episode is the okay episode. This episode has some humor but it just isn't that funny. I think around when this episode was made Simpsons premieres aren't as good anymore. Before this in the Golden Age ( S1-S10 ) and Early Middle Age ( S11-S20 ) the premiere gave a good glimpse in the series. But at this point, Late Middle Age, the premieres give a worser glimpse in the series. Even though this is better than the last premiere, it only feels okay. This episode got a 7.2 and it has pretty good reviews, so I thought that this episode would be better. Instead it was worse than I imagined. This episode isn't great, but it's got enough good action for an okay. In all, I give this episode a 6.4 out of 10.

This is a decent start to S20, in which Homer and Ned become bounty hunters.

The Marge storyline doesn't amount to much, and I bet the Irish didn't care for the representation of them, but other than that there are enough strong moments in this episode that I enjoyed.

If you've been watching The Simpsons since the beginning on December 17, 1989, then just wait 980 weeks to see this episode on September 28, 2008. If you didn't stop watching before May 9, 1999, then you're already halfway there. It's a really great episode where Homer Simpson and Ned Flanders get to become bounty hunters until they start arguing about how to do things, which leads to a really clever twist in the final act that I won't spoil for you here if you want to check it out. It's something really new and great that they never tried before in the last 19 seasons and Phantomstrider8 even said it was the coolest concept for The Simpsons ever. There's no holds barred on pieces like this! I've read those other reviews and it seems like most of them only think more negatively of this episode because it's in a later season. If it was in an earlier season, and the animation was different but everything else remained the same, more people might appreciate this more, so this episode really deserves a rating over 8, or you're not giving Kevin Curran enough credit.
