Review: So, this is the third episode in a row that makes a significant reference to a classic Simpsons episode. Stark Raving Dad is the victim this time, complete with the return of the Michael Jackson impersonator who, this time, was voiced by a Michael Jackson impersonator (because, you know, the real one's dead now). It wasn't handled too well, as it felt overly forced in and Lisa's lack of appreciation towards the act didn't sit well.
The episode tried hard to not be as dry and boring as its premise makes it out to be, and the results are mixed. Lots of decent quick one-liners and jokes, but a lot of jokes (and especially references) were not so great, which basically all cancel out. A couple of sweet moments at the end (and a good Grampa rant) save it from a graver fate, but the episode wasn't very good.
Final Score: 5.0
