The Simpsons has a reputation for being very less controversial and has sustained a respectable status in the society. It has always delivered humorous and positive entertainment. That is the reason why this show has been everybody’s favorite for many years now. But the status is not going to stay same for long as our favorite show “The Simpsons” is now in controversy.

Before going any further, I would like to mention that I have been a huge fan of the show since the first time it premiered on television. Till date I haven’t missed any episode of the show and moreover I also have a huge collection of the various downloaded episodes of the show. I have always found the show as a means of great entertainment and fun without any loopholes. But this is not what everyone thinks about the show.

According to a study carried out by The University of Sydney School of Public Health, television shows like The Simpsons affect public health. It has also been revealed that these types of shows often display the use of tobacco in their show.

Dr. Eslick, after examining 18 seasons which amount for near about 400 episodes of the show, concluded that smoking has been depicted about 795 times. He further added that 35 percent of the times it was featured in a negative context, 2 percent in positive and 63 percent in neutral context. He has also analyzed that even though most of the time the characters who smoked were adults like, Patty, Selma and Krusty, children featured in about 8 percent of the cases.

As a matter of fact, we hardly care about these issues, but being a good citizen a certain amount of concern is required. Animated TV series are preferred more by children and the creators of the show must keep it in mind that if they don’t take care of these ill habits then it might prove to be a wrong inspiration for them.

One family that also celebrates the Earth Day is “The Simpsons“. In a bunch of promo, in line with FOX’s “Green It. Mean It.” campaign, Homer does some precautions to save the earth, including changing the light bulbs to the energy-saving ones. But true to Homer’s nature, he burns in open air the old ones.

The dysfunctional family also made reference to former U.S vice president, Al Gore, who has been keen on saving the planet with his campaigns. In “Green Tip: Heating Tip”, Marge complains that Homer did not pay the heating bill and Homer said, “It’s that Global Warming we take care of it. Al Gore can’t do anything.”

“The Simpsons” airs ever Sundays at 8/7c on FOX. This week in “Father Knows Worst”, Bart and Lisa start struggling in their academic and social lives at school and Homer starts monitoring them and forcing them to do better. Meanwhile, Marge discovers a sauna in the basement.

Towing his way?

In this week’s episode of The Simpsons, Homer embarks on another Wacky Temp Job. Will it be boom or bust for his tow truck driving operation? Find out in “Midnight Towboy”.

Chalkboard Gag: None. Couch Gag: In live action footage, OFF are constructed by hand out of Leggos.

We open in the Casa Simpson at nightfall. Marge is busy trying to put Maggie into her crib, but the child simply won’t be released. None of the usual bedtime routines work, and it doesn’t help that Homer, Lisa and Milhouse are having a toga party (?!) downstairs.

Marge carries the fussy baby downstairs and hands her off to Homer so that she can make up a bottle – Maggie wants nothing to do with Homer, however, and she throws herself through the distance and into her mother’s arms . This results in Marge dumping an entire bottle of milk onto the floor which Homer – no, I’m not joking – cries over.

Homer heads out to snag a fresh bottle of milk. The Kwik-E-Mart is devoid of the substance, as there’s a rumor circulating among the teenaged set that milk, combined with Mentos and lottery ticket scratchings, make jet pack fuel. Homer rushes off to Moe’s, where he’s offered a glass of what could be paint or milk (Homer doesn’t figure out it’s paint til he’s consumed half the glass).

Back at the Casa De Simpson, Bart and Lisa try to help Marge use the internet. Marge’s ineptitude results in Bart taking control – he finds an organization calling itself “Creative Responses For Infant Edu-loving” (C.R.I.E – yes). Marge sends along an email requesting help, hoping they’ll make Maggie less clingy.

Meanwhile, Homer has journeyed on through Shelbyville and Ogdenville, both of which are “dry counties”. He ends up following a milk truck into Guidopolis. Homer ends up at the Mook-E-Mart, parking in the lot of the neighboring bank – he purchases the milk, but ends up getting towed for his troubles.

The driver, Louie, decides to take pity on Homer and gives him a lift to the impound lot. Small talk leads to Homer becoming enamored of Louie’s free-and-easy lifestyle; Louie notes Homer’s fascination and offers to help get him started for five hundred dollars. Of course, there’s a condition – Homer has to tow solely within Springfield city limits. He blithely agrees to this, and soon becomes a driver for his hometown.

Meanwhile, Marge meets with a representative from C.R.I.E. The rules of the method are simplistic – Marge simply must leave Maggie alone and let her cry. Marge tries it – Maggie sobs. Informed that “hugs are drugs, and your daughter is addicted,” she shoves the councilor away and rushes in to check on Maggie, only to find her daughter happily playing alone with her building blocks.

Homer, meanwhile, is towing everything in sight. Making a mint doing this, he treats everyone at Moe’s to “lobster-politans,” then adds Lenny’s car to the impound lot that is the Simpsons’ front yard, which soon includes Ned Flander’s Sunday school bus, complete with a fleet of children. Needless to say, his fellow citizens are furious and soon plot to have him done away with.

Maggie, now independent enough to swing herself into her high chair and get her own breakfast, has succeeded in making Marge feel useless. She’s even working away on completing her baby book! Marge, in desperation, turns a sack of potatoes into a substitute baby.

Homer’s mob abandons a car in Guidopolis, making it positively irresistible to a tow and cloaking the city limit signs to convince Homer he’s still in Springfield. He’s quickly caught by Louie, who knocks him unconscious with a wrench and tows Homer (literally) to his place.

Louie dumps Homer in his basement, where he discovers that his so-called-friend is “impounding” other tow truck drivers who’ve crossed Louie’s line.

Springfield, meanwhile, discovers that life minus a tow truck service equals complete chaos. They all want Homer back, but he’s still locked in Louie’s basement, entertaining his fellow captives by regaling them with such stories as “Shrek 3.”

Back at the Casa De Simpson, Bart and Milhouse are busy cutting “dirty” words like Leviticus out of the Bible, declaring they can say them any time they want to! They’re in the Bible! This causes Marge to lament the loss of Homer’s positive influence and worry about his safety.

Maggie picks up on Marge’s stress, and she rides off atop Santa’s Little Helper’s back to track her father down. They do indeed find Homer thanks to SLH’s tracking ability, and thanks to Maggie’s general ingenuity all of the drivers are rescued.

Back at the Casa De Simpson, Marge is relieved to have her husband back. She informs Maggie that she’s moved on and “doesn’t need” the relationship they once had, but a jealous Maggie socks the sack of tubers and reaches out for a hug. Mother and daughter reunited, we cut to closing credits.

Red Dress Press: Another episode in which a cloud of ‘been there, done that’ settles over the proceedings, “Midnight Towboy” doesn’t improve on re-watching.

The main plot is reminiscent of Homer’s time as a food critic and follows a predictable path of all of his Wacky Job Episodes, in that he begins successfully, quickly becomes mad with power and then is forcibly removed from his position. “He Loves to Fly and He D’Ohs” did a much better job with a similar premise and actually managed to be heartwarming to boot.

The sub-plot, meanwhile, cops out easily and portrays Marge as a mother who cannot handle the idea of her children becoming fully independent. It’s a premise re-visited in her clingy overparenting in “Smoke on the Daughter”. Maggie has always been portrayed as intelligent and tough-minded – one only needs to see The Simpsons Movie or A Streetcar Named Marge to witness her ingenuity. While she’s always extremely close to Marge, she’s never had a problem being separated from her for an amount of time. I know it’s a plot contrivance, but her suddenly becoming dependent on Marge is a twist that comes out of nowhere and feels jarring compared to what we know of Maggie as a character.

The general tenor of “Midnight Towboy” is redolent of simplistic, groan-inducing humor, but a few bright spots pop up. Marge’s ineffective attempt at using the internet is the best joke in the entire episode, with a few chuckles thrown in at Homer’s retelling summer blockbusters as bedtime stories.

Did It Fail at Masonry: A “meh” episode that doesn’t demand repeat viewing but is mildly amusing, “Midnight Towboy” is worth catching once - but not worth tracking down, and certainly not worth skipping other programs for.

What The Screwballs Think: The episode garnered a 7.7, down from Homer of Seville’s 8.4.

Springfield Shopper: This is a Krusty’s Klassik Rekap of a Season Nineteen episode. Keep your eyes peeled for “I Don’t Wanna Know Why The Caged Bird Sings,” coming to the website very soon.

During the summer months, IGN will be taking a look back at The Simpsons with weekly flashback reviews. Instead of trying to decide which episodes to highlight by picking and choosing from their vast back catalogue of 19 seasons, we’ve decided to let syndication narrow the field down a bit. In Los Angeles, the show reruns three times a day during the week. From those episodes, a “Syndicated Episode of the Week” will be chosen. This week, it’s “Trilogy of Error” from season twelve.

There are some folks out there that say The Simpsons started going downhill in its tenth season. And some of those people are so adamant about it that they refuse to give any sort of credit to the episodes that have aired since. Those people should watch “Trilogy of Error.” Not only is this a very funny twelfth season episode, but it is also told in a way that rewards with repeated viewings. The three, overlapping stories are packed tight with sight gags and pop culture jokes and are woven together in such a way that it all makes sense in the end, despite what Mr. Teeny claims.

The day starts out like any other, with the Simpson clan gathering for breakfast. Though this first act is denoted as “Homer’s Day,” we get a glimpse of what is to come for Bart and Lisa as well. Bart leaves breakfast to join Milhouse at the front door, and Lisa introduces Homer to her school science project: Linguo the Grammar Robot. But its Homer we’re following first, and his adventure begins when Marge accidentally chops of his thumb in a brownie slicing accident. Together, Homer and Marge race to the hospital in hopes to get Homer’s thumb reattached. At the hospital, they learn that Homer’s medical plan doesn’t cover thumb reattachment (Homer: “But I have finger insurance.” Dr. Hibbert: “A thumb is not a finger.”), so Marge decides they should go to Dr. Nick instead.

Trilogy of Error

Along the way, Homer stops at Moe’s for more ice for his thumb, gets sidetracked, loses Marge, hitches a ride from Cletus to find that Dr. Nick’s office is on fire, starts to walk to Shelbyville and then has Linguo’s head land at his feet after a distant explosion. To say a lot happens is putting it mildly. The first act runs at a very accelerated speed that is a bit off-putting at first. But once you settle in to the pace, you find yourself simply enjoying the jokes that are whizzing past you. Better still, the first story presents a number of interesting questions (Why is Dr. Nick’s on fire? What caused Linguo to explode?) making the following acts all the more entertaining.

Lisa’s story, following her as she tries to get to school with her science project, makes early reference to Run, Lola, Run. Later, she catches a ride in Krusty’s limo– driven by Mr. Teeny, of course– but unfortunately ends up at West Springfield Elementary. Her time spent there is the least interesting part of the episode. She meets a fellow nerd named Thelonious– voiced by the then popular Frankie Muniz– and falls briefly in love. But it’s a boring detour as she’s soon back on the run. After finding her mom and stealing Cletus’ truck, Marge and Lisa end act two by almost hitting Bart who is climbing out of a manhole.

The final act puts everything together. Bart goes with Milhouse to a cave housing sacks of fireworks. After getting picked up by the police– at 123 Fake Street, where Marge had sent the cops to avoid being arrested for attempted murder– Wiggum sets the boys up with a wire in an effort to catch Fat Tony. The plan goes awry, and Bart and Milhouse escape the mobster by running through the cave and up the manhole. The mobsters chase the boys into an alley, but Marge throws Linguo into the mix. The robot overheats with the bad mobster grammar (”Shut up-a you face!”) and Linguo’s sparks set off a sack of fireworks, sending his head to Homer’s feet.

It all comes together with Legs, an accomplished mob doctor, reattaching Homer’s thumb as Lisa’s science project helping her win first place. In the classroom, Mr. Teeny arrives claiming that, “This plot made no sense!” But I feel enough of the intertwining plots do make sense for this to be one extremely enjoyable misadventure. The Simpsons may have peaked in the ’90s, but that doesn’t mean the eight years since haven’t delivered their share of quality episodes. This was one of them. And with so much plot to go over in this review, there just wasn’t enough room to reference all the great lines. Like Dr. Nick’s, “Inflammable means flammable?!” and Cletus’ reference to “TV magic queers.” Of course, there’s plenty of room in the comments section below for you to share your favorite lines.

Ha ha ha!!! Let me to laugh for a while as recently I watched latest episode ( Any Given Sundance ) from series. Oh! my god, episode was so funny and was having fair amount of funny moments. I am still laughing… LOL

Must say thanks to Lisa and her documentary about her family and yeah her artistic work was also appraisable. You know what’s her weakness? That 8 year old gal is hungry for name and fame and all of her intelligence seems to be leeched away when she thinks to become more and more famous as well as successful.

So, superintendent Chalmers and Principal Skinner are once again. They both are behind her at Sundance in order to get their own goals. Chalmers’ hatred of the local Springfield school for the arts was a funny driving force.

It was also funny to see how bullies used Martin Prince to create the Foley effects. Another very funny scene involved the gasping/groaning responses to the reading of one entry’s log line: “Paul Giamatti… (gasp)… is the world’s greatest super spy… (groan)… who only exists in the mind of an overweight, agoraphobic jazz musician… (gasp)… played by Martin Lawrence in a fat suit… (groan)” Another funny moment was when Jim Jarmusch interacts with Simpson clan.

Conclusion was not as I was expecting, but wholly it was a good episode, especially funny, so I am happy….. hah ah, can’t stop myself from laughing.
