Great episode
My favorite parts are Otto leaving the bus,Milhouse landed on Grandpa,Homer thinking of twin babies and The ending XD

This is a pretty nice episode. I know a very early Simpsons episode dealt with the issue of a fourth child, but that was only a setup to talk about Bart's origin. I am surprised it took this long to deal with Homer and Marge and a possible fourth kid. Granted, I know it will never happen, but it's still a nice subject for them to deal with and for the most part, they handled it nicely.

I also love Lisa's subplot and the twist even better. What Bart and gangs expected something else, they instead got exactly what Lisa would usually do. (Also I liked that the ending credits were in cursive).

That was absolutely terrible. That makes three episodes in a row that have been some of the worst episodes I have ever seen from this show. What is going on? The first 5 minutes of the episode was absolutely useless. The Lisa subplot served no purpose, Marge getting the car was lame, especially since she suddenly hated it out of the blue. And then the entire plotline was bad. And what was the whole point of rehashing the election joke they already did 4 years ago? That should have been in the Halloween episode, NOT this thing. It felt random and out of place. The only jokes that were actually funny was when Lisa told the boys they have now entered an afterschool program and the M Night Shamylan sign. My god, I hate to say it, but I think I am going to call it quits. I mean, I made it through the bad before, but these are beyond terrible. There is not even anything remotely redeeming in the three episodes that have aired thus far.

Well I thought this episode was okay, and isn't election day Tuesday? I thought that joke was well timed.

Hilarious ending.

The timing isn't the problem. It is that they just took the same animation from the one 4 years ago and changed a few pieces to match the current election, and instead of putting it in the Halloween special where it belonged, they replaced the opening song with that waste of space. The episode just came up randomly without any intro that you would have thought you missed teh beginning of the episode.

 

[Pustulio]

I'd rather have them replace the intro we've already seen 500 times for something like this than to have them waste another 1,5 minutes worth of original Halloween material

I find the fact that Homer now canonically has more than 750 children much worse

Plus, it had a slightly different ending than what we saw online.
Selma is outsourced instead of Flanders and there is no suicide gag.

LOL Itchy & Scatchy Movie in 3D. But didn't Homer forbid Bart from seeing it?

Saw online?
