I find this episode funny and I think it is underapreciated, even for a Critic episode, I don't think hardly anyone has seen this episode and I only saw it after buying the dvd set, I wish there were actually more episodes made with great plots and humour like this one.
I find this episode much more funnier than almost every episode in The Simpsons seasons 13 through 17. The jokes in this episode have grown on me over time, I was only eleven the first time I saw this and I harldy laughed then I watched it again when I was twelve and laughed my ass off.
I do miss tv of this calibur and wish there could be more shows like this.moreless
