I’m posting this because if, like me, you’ve gotten out of the habit of watching The Simpsons in realtime, you probably missed this episode, which I found pretty delightful.
It did several things that I have missed in more recent years. For one thing, it actually has a B story (A: Lisa flirts with Wiccanism ala The Craft, B: Homer becomes a connoisseur of moonshine ala Sideways). The story seemed a lot more natural and character-focused than has become the norm. And it just plain made me laugh a lot.
Hulu only has the most recent 5 episodes of The Simpsons, but for now you can watch it here:
