Just watched it and I really loved it. Juuuuust teetered on the edge between hravy-handed topical references and silly Springfield antics.

Excellent Kent Brockman gag with the news special on crossing guards. The editing in that segment was particularly wonderful, could be easily expanded into a Documentary NOW! special. Always love to see Moe's as public space and not just the bar. Always great for visual gags, with Lenny and Carl outside being hilarious.

Best joke was the whole sequence with meltdown. Burns rolling up his sleeves and just working with everyone to solve things, and the thumping score...flashes of Chernobyl in the best way! Plus the way that Homer realizes his uselessness was perfect.

Great to see a strong continuation of what I felt was a much revitalized season 34. Easily the funniest showing from all of animation domination, though I do think Family Guy just edged it out for overall quality.

Welcome to TheSimpsons, a community for discussing everything related to America's non-prehistoric cartoon family, The Simpsons!

Right about now, you're probably saying, "Troy, basically every post starts with 'Guess the Episode', is that all this community is?"

To which I say you've got some attitude, mister.

But no, any Simpsons content is allowed in this community, although we do ask that you keep the shitposting over in !simpsonsshitposting@sh.itjust.works.

Guess the Episode "Rules"

Post a screenshot from an episode of the Simpsons. Frinkiac being a popular source.
If posting a GIF the file size should be less than 1MB, otherwise it may not be animated.
Easy, a screenshot any who's seen the Simpsons would get.
Medium, a screenshot that would take a moment for most people to get.
Hard, a screenshot that someone only gets after you explain it to them.
Genius at Work, a screenshot that makes someone go, "Yeah, that's from The Simpsons, the one where the family does the funny thing".

These "Rules" aren't real, so if you think of something clever, do that instead.
