Our Review
The Simpsons Season 34 Episode 16 is filled with silliness. Their history consists of failures, Kirk burns the history books, and the Gazebo collapses. These three things are funny. The episode had a few jokes in the beginning but not in the end. This episode did not seem interesting in the latter part. It lacks a good storyline, formula, and humor.
Thus, it makes the audience difficult to keep watching the long-running show ‘The Simpsons.’ You may get disappointed if you try to find a point or logic in this episode. The fourteenth episode had a strong storyline and was occasionally funny. While the fifteenth episode had some crazy moments, and the story went in line with the season.
Thus, the sixteenth episode does not seem to be on track and humorous as compared to the last two episodes. Lisa and Bart trying to wake Homer to get taught by him show how the Simpsons represent a typical American family. It looks like the people staying next door.
