    Fantastic!

    This episode is one of the best from Season 29. And oh, New Orleans, is definitely the most unique and authentic city in USA, if not the world.

    One of the best in a while

    It is fun and exciting, And it reminds me of episodes from years ago.

    What a bore!

    The 3 minute annoying montage of food alone makes this one deserve a 1 star rating. Never more have I wanted to turn the TV off! Awful

    10/10 seriously?

    You guys really giving a 10 stars rating to Homer listing food for so long it makes anybody want to shoot the screen with a bazooka? To Lisa being exaggeratedly sad for the millionth time about nothing? Fricking jazz again? Gosh!

    You are corporate bots, right?

    I have to put a 1 star to equilibrate, I'd really give this 3 stars anyway. Boring, forgettable and poorly written. Reason to go to New Orleans: none.

    This was just almost unbearable to (re)watch, if i got introduced to The Simpsons with this episode, I'd hate to watch more of it. The worst thing is that there's not many good episodes ahead.
