Review: This is the only ep that comes to mind that was completely silly from beginning to end. Apparently MG's dictum that the Simpsons would never do anything a non-animated family wouldn't do has been completely buried. And of course, next week the old treehouse will be back in place as if none of this had happened. There were a lot of laughs, but they came from the cartoonishness of the whole thing. I give it a C-.

I thought this episode was dissapointing, as usual. I agree with you on the "cartoonishness" (if thats a word) of the episode. I'm just not sure if I am willing to accept the fact that Snowball saved a person's life. I will admit though, the line where Homer says "Who knows more about electricity than the Amish." was hysterical. Duffman always makes me laugh.

"Simpsons would never do anything a non-animated family wouldn't do"?? They must've abandoned that after the second or so season. Actually, I didn't think this episode was that far fetched for the Simpsons. It was mostly just media spoofing, which they did in earlier seasons too.
