Gorgeous Grampa is a great example of how to appreciate modern episodes of The Simpsons on their own merits. The episode opens with a clever parody of auction shows, as Grampa Simpson becomes a viral sensation with his humorous and entertaining performances. The episode then dives into cultural references with Mr. Burns singing a villainous song about the pleasures of being powerful, adding a nice layer of depth to his character. The animation and visual gags are also impressive, and the storylines remain compelling throughout.
One of the highlights of the episode is the lesson that Bart learns. The writers also do a great job of balancing humor with emotion, making for a satisfying viewing experience.
