Another great episode from a great show

How many seasons would you say is the average amount for a good TV show? Eight, nine? What if I went back to the 90's and told Simpsons fans that I am from 2011 and am watching season 22, thats a truly staggering number. As we have all come to accept the Simpsons glory days are over, but its not into its final years yet. The Simpsons season 22 continues to impress me week after week. Maybe its not 10 rated shows anymore, but it is still making me laugh week after week. This show is not great anymore, but its still very good. In this Simpsons we find ourselves in the midst of Cheech and Chong's comeback tour. But when Chong gets tired of telling all of the old jokes he quits. Homer having listened to them for years steps in and tells all their jokes by heart leading Cheech to go on tour. However as we progress through the episode Homer finds out that going on tour with Cheech isn't the fun loving drug loving life he thought. It turns out to be a lot of hard work. As a side story Marge tries to help the cat lady lose her hording ways and in the process, Marge becomes a hoarder herself. There are many funny moments in this episode that you should try to enjoy.

Great Fun with Two Terrific Guest Stars,

A Midsummer's Nice Dream is a great Simpsons episode with a well written storyline and a ton of very funny scenes. I really enjoyed seeing Tommy Chong and Cheech Marin on the show, their style of humour is so different from the Simpsons that putting them together seemed like a mistake waiting to happen, but it ended up fitting together quite nicely, the balance worked out and made this a very unique episode. I thought the side story was very weak, it took away from the originality of the main story too often and it simply wasn't very intriguing, if Marge helped the Crazy Cat Lady out the whole time and we actually got to see a change in the character that would have been fine, but instead we just see Marge turn in to a hoarder. I think the highlights of the episode was seeing the characters perform with Cheech and Chong, Principal Skinner and Chong made a hilarious duo because of how unlikely they were, and Cheech and Homer were of course a delight to see together, whether or not you're a fan of this comedy duo (which I'm not), you'll enjoy. A Midsummer's Nice Dream is a very fun Simpsons episode that had me entertained.

When Cheech and Chong come to Springfield and break up during a show, Homer decides to join Cheech on the tour, while Principal Skinner joins Chong. Meanwhile, Marge tries to help the Cat Lady to stop hoarding, but ends up taking away all of her stuff to her own house, making Marge turn into a hoarder herself.
