This long-running animated comedy focuses on the eponymous family in the town of Springfield in an unnamed U.S. state. The head of the Simpson family, Homer, is not a typical family man. A nuclear-plant employee, he does his best to lead his family but often finds that they are leading him. The family includes loving, blue-haired matriarch Marge, troublemaking son Bart, overachieving daughter Lisa and baby Maggie. Other Springfield residents include the family's religious neighbor, Ned Flanders, family physician Dr. Hibbert, Moe the bartender and police chief Clancy Wiggum.

"Every Man's Dream" is just a series of bad jokes at the expense of the show's characters, all in service of a cheap grab for momentary notoriety. Go to Full Review

"Orange Is the New Yellow" was an okay episode. They caught a lot of the flavor of Orange is the New Black, but they didn't skewer it. Go to Full Review

If The Simpsons isn't the show it once was, at least it's in better shape now than it was even a few years ago. As much as Season 27 suffered from the usual flaws, it also had some truly memorable moments. Go to Full Review
Mark Trammell TV Equals 09/28/2015
So, yeah, if this maybe wasn't the best episode they've ever done, or the funniest, or what have you, it was still moderately amusing enough to watch at dinner time and get a chuckle or two out of. Go to Full Review
