The Simpson's was too good in its prime to ever be entirely ostracized even all these years after its peak. It started well with an unusually on point parody and great Skinner bit. Cue Detective was a shining example of a good episode. A classic Homer food fantasy was for once not forced and although quick, hilarious. More of these pop up and none were cringe worthy.
More classic Homerisms as well him spending money irresponsibly which yes, is a tired concept as is the competition with some big time pseudo celebrity. The jokes were funny and well timed which is an aspect that in recent years the writing team has lacked.
the new york jabs were also very funny as well as the character Tyler whose voice was just brilliant.
Best of all, I found my self having actual quotes:
"My ridiculous hoops!"
"Stephen Hawkins selling his talking motorcycle"
"I can see everyone from up here...In the shower"
The ending sequence was a great little closer that had me genuinely grinning thanks to its prime surrealist elements which pretty much sums up how I felt about this episode. An Excellent addition that will no doubt be a highlight to the season and hopefully not just another rare moment of good latter day Simpson's that shows up every so often.
