THE SIMPSONS: SEASON 19 PREMIERE-SEPT 23, 2007

Can you believe this show has been on for 19 years?! I remember when the first episode premiered on my 7th birthday. All right enough reminiscing on to the show

Great opening with the reconstruction of Springfield which was destroyed in The Simpsons Movie. Including the (final?) appearance of Spider-Pig, Spider-Pig. Homer saved the life of Mr. Burns after the latter nearly drowned in a mall fountain. As a reward, Homer was invited to have dinner with his boss in his corporate jet. Homer loves the experience so much he tries to find a job which would have access to the lifestyle. Seeing her husband so depressed, Marge hires a life coach (Stephen Colbert!) to help Homer land his dream job. Alas, he fails, but doesn't tell his family. It ends with a wacky ending of Homer landing a plane.

Overall, not a bad episode. People keep complaining how The Simpsons has lacked its earlier quality and heart, but I think what do you expect after 19 years? At least it's still somewhat funny. That's okay in my book.
