About Last Night…THE SIMPSONS, AMERICAN IDOL, THE GREAT NORTH, and More

Let’s talk about Sunday night’s TV!

THE SIMPSONS: I love that the show went back to Bleeding Gums Murphy. I kind of wish Bleeding Gums’ son hadn’t followed Lisa’s advice—it was his choice, but Lisa was, eventually, correct that she should have listened to what he wanted rather than try to push him to do what she thought was correct.

AMERICAN IDOL: Jimmie Allen was a great mentor to the kids. Tristen Gressett, Mike Parker, and Nicolina were my favorites of the night, but I’m really curious who America will vote for. Of the two Platinum tickets who performed, Huntergirl was good, but Jay…was very underwhelming, unfortunately.

THE GREAT NORTH: Oh my God, this may be the only show that can use “I’m not ready to log off yet,” and mean it literally and figuratively. Poor Beef just wanted his museum. (Honestly, we should all be scared of Debbie. Good luck, Moon.)

WEAKEST LINK: Samyra’s reaction to the dumb answers were perfect and the fawning over Will was SO WEIRD? But my heart was happy with the SUPERSTORE shout out.

BOB’S BURGERS: As someone who once had a pet spider as a child (okay, for a few days, but in my young mind, it counted), I never went as far as Louise did for Phoebe. (The kids’ reaction to the fly murder was hilarious, but fair.) But, yes, that experiment was pretty much always doomed, at least in the traditional sense—I’m happy for Louise the spider got to live in the basement.
