Yeesh! It is exactly like the Simpsons was in their best seasons, which is to say about 14 seasons ago. They take a basic premise and then just go 14 worlds of weird away in whatever digression Trey feels like. The episode that precipitated this, by the by, is "Britney's New Look" which feels just so so wrong on so many levels. That a paparazzi would recognize that Kyle is not Britney by saying "She doesn't have a camel-toe" is, um.
That there are "Frankenstein" and "Wicker Man" references within 5 minutes is absolutely amazing. Trey is much smarter than people realize - perhaps the smartest person working in television. Keep in mind that, like Sorkin with the "West Wing", he writes the damn thing himself.
Except as regards smartest people working in TV, see above. |
