Welcome to TheSimpsons, a community for discussing everything related to America's non-prehistoric cartoon family, The Simpsons!
Right about now, you're probably saying, "Troy, basically every post starts with 'Guess the Episode', is that all this community is?"
To which I say you've got some attitude, mister.
But no, any Simpsons content is allowed in this community, although we do ask that you keep the shitposting over in [email protected].

Guess the Episode "Rules"
- Post a screenshot from an episode of the Simpsons. Frinkiac being a popular source.
- If posting a GIF the file size should be less than 1MB, otherwise it may not be animated.
- Easy, a screenshot any who's seen the Simpsons would get.
- Medium, a screenshot that would take a moment for most people to get.
- Hard, a screenshot that someone only gets after you explain it to them.
- Genius at Work, a screenshot that makes someone go, "Yeah, that's from The Simpsons, the one where the family does the funny thing".
These "Rules" aren't real, so if you think of something clever, do that instead.

This episode didn't work for me. Taking Lisa away from the rest of the family (and most of the supporting characters too) then adding an avant-garde arts scene with a set of new characters we've never seen before just didn't connect with me. Someone on Reddit said that this episode is a parody of a movie called After Hours which I've never heard of or seen before so maybe I'm missing something,
Also according to Wikipedia there are two Halloween episodes this season, but neither of them are scheduled to air before Halloween. What the hell?
Re Halloween, yeah I have no idea why they did that. When I saw there were two I thought, "Nice, one before and one after", but one the week after and then late November, why?
Re, taking Lisa away from the family, obviously I love the family, but I appreciate the uniqueness (I think) of a Lisa solo adventure.
I would have liked more appearances of side characters like Chalmers, Hoover & Lunchlady Doris. The celebrity cameos are fine, but someone we knew already, even a previous cameo, would have been fun.
