      A Fun Tribute to an Old Classic,

      Singin' in the Lane is a great Simpsons episode with a very well written plot and plenty of very funny moments. The episode revives the old "Pin Pals" from a classic episode way back in the seventh season, I loved what they did with it, they were not just reviving an old classic for fanfare, but it was clear they clearly had a new story to tell that they were intrigued by.

      The only complaint I have, as much as I like Lenny, Carl and Barney, I would have preferred if it was a proper revival with the original crew, Homer, Moe, Apu and Mr. Burns. I get that it was likely because they are viewed far more as a gang, but I would have loved to have seen them together again, especially seeing as we rarely see Apu, Moe and Mr. Burns interact with one another.

      Funny and memorable. A blast from start to finish, Singin' in the Lane is a simple, fun Simpsons.

      Moe revives his old bowling team to bring back some passion from his glory days.

      Great sequel of a classic episode.

      Well I liked it. I would definitely say that it's one of the best episodes of the season. I thought that the jokes were decent (I enjoyed some of the slapstick gags with Moe) and I liked the fact that the episode had an actual story, not wasting time with 5 minutes of opening nonsense or a random subplot just to fill time. I also appreciated the fact that Homer really did not do much here, instead allowing the focus to shift to the buddies bar. I love the idea of ​​ an annual sequel (or prequel) of a classic episode, and in this case the continuation of Team Homer was much better than that of Kamp Krusty. To keep innovating and improving, that The Simpsons will never end!

        At one point Moe says "I haven't been this confident since i saw La La Land win Best Picture and turned off my TV" a reference to a gaffe at the Academy Awards where La La Land was thought to have won the Oscar for Best Picture only to find out that Moonlight was the actual winner.
