The Simpsons: I'm Goin' to Praiseland (2001)
Season 12, Episode 19
7/10
Unfair reviews and ratings
27 July 2023
"I'm Going To Praiseland" is an episode that remains an entertaining watch for me, even as The Simpsons' golden age slowly starts to fade. It's evident that those who rate it poorly may not have seen the more recent and lackluster episodes that have been produced. For me, this still belongs to the show's golden age, albeit with a hint of fading brilliance.

The amusement lies in observing how people initially react positively to the theme park, only to have their perspectives change as the story unfolds. Personally, I love the segment featuring Disco Stu in heaven; it's a memorable and enjoyable part for me. Critics who nitpick about the episode aging should refrain from doing so in a review. It's unfair to fault a work for something beyond the author's control during its creation. In fact, such episodes, like many older ones in the series, hold the charm of offering glimpses into history and making references to the popular culture of their time. This aspect is a positive attribute, as it allows viewers to learn from the past, enriching our cultural legacy and history. For those who don't appreciate such historical insights, they may be missing out on the rich tapestry.
