great! i had low hopes for it after seeing some of the promos for [address] thought "homers going to be a robot?!? wtf is that? i thought that was going to happen to marge!!!", but after seeing it i was happy(i love the crazy cat lady).

I thought it was ok. Lisa is the 'good' child. Why does she have to suffer with the loss of several pets? Why can't that stuff happen to Bart instead?

She's a Democrat (or a Green, I suppose). It's only humane to acclimatize her to horrible, gutwrenching pain before November comes.
What irked me more was that they apparently thought the death of a pet is funny. I know the show treads the good taste line a lot, but this time (not the only time) the slipped to the wrong side.

I think you misread the humorous intent. It wasn't the deaths of the pets that was funny, it was seeing Lisa in emotional pain. Hilarious!

It's funny, I think more people complained about the deaths of stray cats in this episode than did about police brutality on babies and said babies falling off a helicopter in the previous episode.
