I don't care if this review is helpful to you or not

Pros 1. Clancy and Sarah made the right choice returning Ralph to the Stork. I hope they can get a better child this time around.

2. Gill is one of my favorite secondary characters so I'm glad he's getting a big role in an episode for the first time in about 13 or 14 years. Gill shows once again why he's one of the best "butt monkeys" in animation today. I laughed especially hard when Gill ruins his chance to be a hero by getting an egg sandwich and he doesn't even get to eat the sandwich.

3. 4 times in 2 years? I don't know why Michael York is suddenly on the show so much but it's okay by me. He's awesome.

4. I got a big laugh out of Abe chastising Marge for not putting him in charge of watching the kids and then chastising Marge because she DID put him in charge of watching the kids. Equally funny was Bart putting Abe to sleep by turning the temperature up 1 degree.

5. Very nice subtle Nintendo reference: having a place called Mario's Meats and having the store owner look like Luigi, owner of Springfield's Italian restaurant.

6. Thanks for having the court trail not presided by Judge Constance Harm. Good god how I hate her.

7. Best Line Quimby: You were right and we were wrong Veterinarian: Yes, very well, but will you remove my chains? Qumby: Don't push your luck!

Cons 1. Your jumping the gun a little by thanking Taylor Swift for 28 great years. She isn't even 27 1/2 yet.

2. Is this the same angry African-American commentator from "22 For 30" or is it just another loud, unfunny character?

3. I disagree with Bart & Lisa: Homer's "look what the cat dragged in" joke was lame.

4. They actually referenced Turbo? Good god did that movie suck. Dreamworks owes Paul Giamatti an apology for wasting his time with such crap. Whatever they paid Giamatti, it wasn't enough.
