Undercover Burns

In this episode, Mr. Burns must go undercover in his own business as one of the regular employees. It's an interesting concept and, for the most part, is pretty enjoyable. I think David Harbour did a great job as Undercover Burns, I only wish they'd done away with most of the scenes where they show Burns himself inside the suit and stuck with Fred (Harbour).

I'm surprised so many people didn't enjoy this episode. Admittedly, it's not a great one to kick off a season with, but it isn't terrible. Lighten up, people!

The episode was ok. Nothing special for a premiere.

I enjoyed the episode, as it had some moments. I'm glad that Mr Burns had an episode expanding on his relationship with Smithers, though it could have been a lot better.

For example, a lot of the jokes fell flat, I'll admit - I chuckled a few times, but not enough if it were, say, season 6.

The style is polished as usual, but the characters (the Simpson family in their short time for example) are just stereotypes of their old selves. The joke where Bart pretends to "love school" falls flat on its yellow face as Bart isn't really like this and would consider a more clever approach.

Other than that, 6/10, ready for next week.

Not only is the voice nowhere near the same, Carl isn't even the same person. Completely different personality. If this is the direction the Simpsons are going, I won't be following.

....because it's the last episode of Simpsons I watched before giving up on this show after 30 years.

We have come a long way since 1989, we had a great ride with memorable episodes that should go down in television history. We also had these past few years, where you had to mostly tolerate the mediocrity with the hope that every once in a while they'll strike gold again.

Then came the MOMENT! The moment I had to pause, go back and listen to Carl again. Then google the incident and realize the great Hank Azaria had to part ways after 32 years of pure genius. That's when I realized I HAVE HAD ENOUGH.

They should've ended in a blaze of glory on a high note leaving behind a legacy. They didn't . But we can all have our own personal finale.

Farewell dear Simpsons, We'll always have Mr Plow!
