Couch gag rating: 8/10 The Simpsons family find their seats just as Mount Vesuvius erupts.

The episode: Bart and Lisa have their lemonade stand broken up because they don't have a vendor's license. The line to get the license is held up by the man there doing a crossword puzzle. A frustrated Lisa quickly zooms through the crossword puzzle for him and discovers her love for them.

Favorite moment(s): The tribute to words removed from the dictionary.

This episode should be familiar to all of us. Homer does something which disappoints Lisa and he has to win her respect back. I wish that would been explored longer. I thought the use of Marge's maiden name was pure genius and hadn't been done prior. I only wish this had been the main plot of the episode. Nonetheless, the tender moment at the end is touching.

Overall rating: 7/10 Nothing disappoints in this episode but there aren't many jokes and so many episodes have been made similar to the main plot and done better.

I remember when season 20 came out and I got it on dvd. I remember when I was younger I wanted to collect all the dvd's from The Simpsons as I really liked what they did with it and what characters would be on the front. I was also very disappointed when they decided to stop releasing dvd's as people wouldn't buy them anymore. Anno 2023 we have so many streaming platforms that people simply don't watch dvd's anymore, but I do miss the nostalgia, and going to the video rental store to pick up the newest released movies.

I have always been a big Bart fan but I feel like the older I get, the more I like Lisa. Lisa is the smart kid who is often misunderstood, meanwhile Bart just gets into trouble for doing his pranks time after time.

This was a beautiful episode of the bond between father and daughter. A really good episode!

Homer and Lisa Exchange Cross Words is an amazing episode. I have watched 8 other Season 20 episodes and there was 1 bad, 3 okay, 3 good, and 2 really good. This episode is one of the really good episodes. This episode is really interesting, even if it doesn't have a lot of humor. But then again, this season doesn't have that much humor. This episode converted to one plot to another with Homer, but both of the plots were really good though. This was also a very heartfelt episode too. But one thing I noticed is Lisa was being a bit bratty. She just had too much confidence and was trying to prove that she was smart even thought everyone already knew that. She just felt very boastful and braggy. I feel like this flanderatizion in her character started in the Season 19 finale, The Lisa Show. No one noticed it in this episode, but soon after this episode people will notice her flanderatizion as much as Flanders', Bart's, and Homer's. In all, I give this a 7.9 out of 10. Not the best in the season so far but a great watch.
