Yes, thanks to Homer not paying attention on a trip to the electronics store, he finds himself the latest proud owner of life-changing technology. However, it’s Marge who finds her life changed to the greatest degree, falling asleep in front of the tube and getting hectored by Keith Olbermann for not watching commercials. Scared straight by the devilish Olbermann, the Simpsons are persuaded to go to a rib house for dinner by a commercial seemingly designed for them. Unfortunately, once they arrive, the trap closes; the commercial actually was designed for them, all part of an ingenious snare set by Sideshow Bob (Kelsey Grammer) to destroy everyone’s favorite fellow-hued family. Of course, since this is the tenth time or so he’s tried to kill the Simpsons, place your bets on whether it will work or not, although it’s probably the first time one of his plans was countered by an exploding laptop combined with Lisa’s superior knowledge of Shakespeare. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/11/26/FOX-SUNDAY-ANIMATION-BLOCK----November-25th.aspx 77 60 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/11/26/FOX-SUNDAY-ANIMATION-BLOCK----November-25th.aspx#2383 a good cartoon WAVELYN http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/11/26/FOX-SUNDAY-ANIMATION-BLOCK----November-25th.aspx#2383 Mon, 03 Dec 2007 18:34:09 GMT
