   Season 34, Episode 07 Review

   I have to say that the couch gag on this one, was pretty good.  I thought it   
   was both clever and funny (mmm, gravy).   
      
   The commercials of Duffman through time was pretty decent and I'm glad that   
   they're expanding on backstory for side characters.   
      
   1st Act - I think it had some great jokes like him running into the women   
   lawyer organizations and making fun of the fake apologies.  It also really   
   setup the episode and the premise really well.   
      
   2nd Act - I loved the P.F. Changs parody food but prefer when Simpsons were a   
   little more subtle with their humor.  34 years later and we still learn more   
   about our main characters with learning that Lisa is, in fact, an Agathe   
   Christie fan and that her    
   second favorite music genre is K-Pop.  Really shows how out of touch Homer   
   really is with her when He's cutting up her food too.  Like she's 2.  Probably   
   when he last took interest in her.   
      
   3rd Act - This was a pretty strong act and loved the opening joke "Can't   
   believe you're here!  Because I don't know who you are" and Lisa calling out   
   how weird it is.  I hope that they stick with him being Puffman now.  Would   
   love to see a Springfield    
   with legalized marijuana.  Also, pretty funny they couldn't show him smoking   
   marijuana.  Wonder what that will look like in 15 years when people rewatch.    
   Lastly, I liked the happy ending with Lisa and Homer where Lisa got to drop   
   her own tea set at the    
   sight of a murder.     
      
   Overall - A great episode and I think will become a classic at some time.    
   Definitely has ringings of Simpsons of yore.  Light hearted, funny, and   
   semi-focused on the Simpsons family itself.     
      
   Score - 8/10
