A talking dishrag, voiced by Jeremy Irons. How ridiculous. The main plot revolves around Moe's dishrag, who talks about its history before it became a dishrag. Characters of The Simpsons portray the people of the past. It's so pointless! Who cares about a damn dishrag! I know it's supposed to parody a film, but most people won't get it. I hate "special" episodes of The Simpsons like these. Most of the jokes just weren't funny. It was just so stupid. But episodes like this shouldn't be a surprise as late as season 23.

There's also a sub-plot with Bart and Milhouse set in current times, but it doesn't blend in at all with the main plot that shows long flashbacks of the dishrag. The sub-plot is very thin, but it's better than the main plot. Otherwise, this is one of the worst episodes of The Simpsons I've ever seen. It's definitely the worst episode of the season so far, as the season is pretty okay.

This show is a bit like Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, with a chance to win £1 million, but is unique in its own way. Hosted by Davina McCall, two contestants (who know each other) come into the show and together answers questions by putting money on an answer that they mostly guess and hope its right. It starts off with four choices of answers and they can bet with different amounts of sums of £25000 wads of cash on three or less answers, though only one is correct, and if they bet on more than one answer, they'll definitely lose some money. They have to go through 8 rounds of questions and the choice of answers decrease to 3 halfway, and then 2 in the last question, where if they choose the correct answer, they go home with the money they have left.

The show does get pretty intense, and is pretty original. You want to see the contestants go away with the highest amount of cash, but you can also learn things about pop culture etc. Viewers can also play along at home online with virtual money.

The most annoying thing I find about this show is the theme music. Davina is actually less annoying here than she was in Big Brother. But I find it silly when she asks questions to the viewers at home on how they're doing, as if we're replying back, and she goes "uh huh".

Overall, its a pretty good game show, but you won't really get stuck into it. It's just something to watch if you have nothing better to do.

I never watched the film (though I might in the near-future) but I think this show is above average. The first few episodes have certainly kept me interested and the plots feel original and creative, with no clichés. The jokes can be funny at times, the writing is consistent, the voice-acting is top-notch, and the animation is high-quality. It probably is a bit too late to make a TV show out of it, because the film was released almost a decade ago. But I'm just looking at it as a TV show in its own right. What's weird though is that the TV show is animated, and that it could've easily been live-action if it wasn't over-the-top at times. It is nice to have something fresh on FOX's Animation Domination lineup of animated shows that is better than the abortion Allen Gregory was. I also think it's just as good as Bob's Burgers. This show should last at least 2 seasons, with plenty of character development along the way, and not have the fate of "Clerks: The Animated Series" (based on the film "Clerks") which was cancelled on ABC after 2 episodes.
