Simpsons Season 22 Discussion

That's right, (wait a minute, you don't smoke a pipe! -- That's right!) Simpsons are into their 22nd Season.

22-01 MABF18 26/Sep/10 Elementary School Musical

Episode summary

Marge surprises Lisa with a week-long retreat at performing arts camp, where she is greeted by her artsy counselors (Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie) and fellow musically inclined campers (Lea Michele, Cory Monteith and Amber Riley), who inspire her to embrace her creative side.

After she returns to Springfield, Lisa becomes restless with her ho-hum suburban lifestyle and sneaks off to Sprooklyn in hopes of connecting with her inner hipster, but she soon realizes that the city is not the same as camp.

I read the episode airs this week so put it in spoilers.

Anyway, i actually turned off the episode when i found out it was my least favourite type --

a Lisa episode AND a Singing episode!!

Luckily i did go back and watch the episode, and wow! It has

FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS

!! I'm a huge fan so i'd be quite biased when it comes to judging the episode, but i've watched it a good few times now,

listening to the music and laughing at the banter, it really is Jemaine and Bret

Recommend giving it a watch....although non-fans probably won't find it half as funny.

OK I can't spoiler this but I gotta post it! Even if you read the word "SPOILER WARNING" you'd still read the title of the youtube page so.....ah feck it. Edited from the first episode of S22, it's all the Flight of the Conchords' musical bits

Wasn't a bad episode, the 2nd 1 was better "loan-a-lisa".

This is the first episode EVER i have not been able to watch till the end. I got to the part where Krusty is telling jokes in the Hague and thought this is ridiculous.

Jesus, why is LISA getting the front-running of this season? I can't stand her constant haranguing of her personal plights or her boring storylines. What a fantastic combination of over-sensitivity, self-righteousness and condescension.

I thought this isn't your life has been one of the better episodes in a while.

Lol, that's true. Kinda gone off this season, but Flaming Moe was a fun episode.
