    what i liked- the ending with marge sending lisa to her room, bart and lisa trying to convince homer and marge to take them to Itchy and Scratchy Land, Homer and Bart both going to jail at the park, the ever popular Bort scene (We are out of Bort license plates), the robots going evil, etc.
    good episode. it has some very clever and unexpected gags and is a delight. my only complaint is act 3 is like less than 5 minutes long, but that does not detract my score at all. A+moreless

    When Bart and Lisa see a commercial for it on TV, they ask Homer if they can go to Itchy and Scratchy Land. But he tells them to ask Marge. Marge was planning on going to a bird sanctuary, but her and Homer finally give in when they see that Itchy and Scratchy Land has attractions for adults.

    After an extremely long ride there, they finally arrive in Itchy and Scratchy Land.Bart and Homer soon get in trouble for kicking the coustomed Itchy characters, so they go to a prison in the theme park. While there, they find out the robots there turn evil. They must defeat them by using camera flashes.

    This is a very funny episode. I love all the Itchy and Scratchy cartoons like the parody of Fantasia and Pinnichio. I also love the end where nobody is at Euro Itchy and Scratchy Land.

    Overall Grade:A+/95%moreless

    This is another episode that just makes me laugh. It's basically a parody on the film "Westworld" and may'be a bit of "Jurastic Park". There are just so many funny moments and quotes, like any good theme park ride there isn't one dull moment. Like that little moment with Marge in the holding cell:

    Marge: I just want to crawl in a hole and die.

    Security Guards: Ok, put her in the hole.

    That just made me crack up and I couldn't believe they actually had a hole. The ride they went on which looks like Splash Mountain at Disneyland only it's actually dangerous, I sometimes wondered if someone died on that ride, or any of the amusements like that door to the restaurant.

    And my favorate part of all was in the last half where the family is fighting all of the killer robots, it was almost like a zombie movie most notably the film "Zombieland" where the final battle was also in a amusement park. And what I liked in that battle was they used a non cleche weapon which are cameras.

    This episode is defenately worth the price of admission.moreless

  • The Simpsons' Jurassic Park....

    Bart and Lisa's beloved show Itchy & Scratchy (a morbid version of Tom & Jerry) has a spin-off theme park aptly named Itchy & Scratchy Land (sound's cozy doesn't it?) and Bart and Lisa are just dying to go. Homer stays steadfast to Bart and Lisa's pleas - "No no no no no no no no no. Ask your mother" - and Marge eventually gives in and the Simpson family goes off to Itchy & Scratchy Land. Hmmm.... I vaguely remember another island-secluded theme park and that didn't work out so well....

    I admit that I am not the biggest fan of The Simpsons TV show but "Itchy & Scratchy Land" is a very good Simpson's episode. Everything goes wrong for the Simpson family in this episode - which means everything goes right for the viewer: Homer and Bart get into trouble at the theme park and Itchy and Scratchy robots go haywire. Very funny.moreless

    ADD NOTES
    • The conception of this episode came about after Fox had complained that the Itchy and Scratchy cartoons were too violent and they had received letters of complaint from viewers. Because they didn't believe that, the writers wrote a whole episode of Itchy and Scratchy in response. Edit
    • In this episode, they briefly allude to John Travolta being a washed up celebrity working in a bar. Twelve days after the original airing, the movie Pulp Fiction was released and jump started his career. Edit
