Theres only one thing The Simpsons cant beat this season.
ThisThe Simpsonsreview contains spoilers.
The Simpsons: Season 27 Episode 3.
Puffless feels like one of those itchy sweaters Jacqueline Bouvier knits for Christmas.
I wonder if Mr. Burns wasnt the only person in Springfield to come down with dementia.The SimpsonsRick rolled us.
The couch gag is very prescient to the episode as Monster-truck Maggie runs over the whole family.
I suppose they had to give Maggie something to do, its not like shes getting any older.
Maggies Extraordinary Animal Adventure should have just had its own platform.

The episode winds up being kind of pointless.
It has a good premise.
That kind of thing wasnt talked about when they were kids.
Jacqueline would have told them about the dangers of smoking, if they didnt look so cool doing it.
Of course, thats because she only spends ten minutes nicotine free.
The Bouvier family has never liked Homer and has tortured Marge since she settled for him.
Watching Patty crawl through a small window of niceness kills much of the bad will shes built up.
Its only too bad Homer and Bart already wasted all the bleach.
The Simpsonsafford themselves a lot more self-referential humor than most shows.
They are upfront about how the characters never age and give other minor cracks in the fourth wall.
Tonight they take on their very own couch gags.
Now we know that it is the Simpson family that has been staging them.
They are fully aware that the couch is for more than watching TV and eating on.
Those guest gag directors are probably dinner guests who get tired of playing charades with the drunk Van Housens.
Dr. Nick is in trouble at the beginning of the episode.
He misdiagnosed a pregnancy but at least hell be getting a lot of free advertising on Malpractice TV.
Sometimes positive is good in medicine, sometimes negative can be a death sentence or cost someone their job.
Ultimately, the Bouvier sisters can never part with each other or their smokes.
It doesnt and therefore keeps a little integrity and a lot of recurring gag potential.
The Bouviers not smoking is like Mr. Burns turning over a new leaf.
Of course he doesnt really want Marges mom.
It would be too hard on his old knees.
Hank Azaria plays Dr. Nick.
Harry Shearer is Mr. Burns.
