'Scuse Me While I Miss the Sky features the voice of Eric Idle, one of the Monty Pythons, and this episode deals with light pollution, with many pop culture references like The Natural which was hilarious for sure and something Robert Redford would be proud of.

The reference to John Ritter made me chuckle and smirk I guess. I loved the ending with Vincent by Don McLean playing.

I loved Marge's line, "This is better than a screensaver" which made me chuckle somewhat.

The Springfield documentary was quite hilarious as well, kind of a send-up of the 7 Up series (which is up to 63 Up by the way).

Really good!

So good I was actually surprised to find out this episode was the 307th of the series for it feels right out of the Simpson's Golden Age. The main plot and subplots were funny and poignant throughout.

Lisa feels demoralized after she's told she should narrow down her wide array of interests for she lacks focus, which leads her to choose Astronomy and convince Homer to buy her a telescope but is forced to start a petition to reduce the city's overwhelming light pollution after she struggles to see the universe due to it; meanwhile Bart tries to steal Fat Tony's hood ornament all while a cocky British filmmaker is shooting a documentary in Springfield Elementary about its students.

The final sequence is hilarious and a highlight of the episode. Don't believe the 7.0 rating.

Starry starry night

Just when I thought maybe the 14th series of the show (which on the whole has been good) had gotten into a bit of a rut, up pops this stellar episode, that reminds us all just how good the show can be.

In a spot on parody of the 7 up documentaries we also get to see Lisa campaigning against light pollution,and Bart trying to steal from Fat Tony.

With a nice finale, this is one of the best from S14.

False Information

This episode says the USA is supposed to be a democracy!

When the USA has always been a Constitutional Republic.

False info should be a crime.

The USA needs to wake up to the truth.
