Overall very good episode, but the garage cleaning section made me laugh so hard I was crying. Homer's spider-phobia/spider-poison induced delirium (lasting until late that night, apparently), was note perfect. There was not a wasted moment in that section, every bit was pure gold. Starting with Marge's fantasy of a buff Homer with a full head of hair being secondary to him actually getting the assigned job done correctly, to Homer's manly "What's the matter spider? Afraid to Die?" then he tip toes over daintily to the cardboard box... to "Charlotte's Dead" spider spray with a very sad-looking Wilbur to the envelope given to Lisa by bart... it to Lisa's CPR training statement being a parody of her own character, Bart follows with the same by producing a folding chair to whack Homer - pro wrestling style... it was amazing.

...Not Constantinople.

I liked how they played "Istanbul" by TMBG at the end of the show :).

One of the funniest episodes of all time - I predict this one will be a future classic. As long as they can crank one of these out once in a while I dont care how long the show airs.

The Simpsons continues to be an atrocious shadow of its former self. Last night's ep was another forced, unfunny outing that, while not quite as cringe-worthy as other recent eps, begs for the show to go quietly into the night. It jumped the shark about six seasons ago; please, greedy Fox execs, let it die already!

Like what you guys are doing.. you're on the right track. Let's see where it goes..
