This isn't the first time that a new episode has seemed quite a bit better on the rerun. I just finished watching the ___ episode - The first time I barely laughed, but this time there were quite a few gags that some chuckles. I especially liked the lobsters ogling Marge (in the background as well after the initial joke), Homer discovering them in bed, and the whole Bart imitating Krusty gag. It definitely had its share of duds as well, but I was actually amused this time.
Does anybody else find this with the newer episodes?
