From The Simpsons Official Site

“G.I. (Annoyed Grunt)”

Special Guest-Voice

After getting Bart out of a commitment he made to join the Army at 18, Homer falls prey to a couple of Army recruiters and ends up in basic training.

Also: Don't forget that they are showing the trailer for The Simpsons movie during the episode

Scary thought to have Homer in the Army. Would Homer even pass the physical?

I was a bit disappointed they didn't show the trailer last week - glad it will be this week.

I can`t wait to see tonight`s episode not only to see the trailer for the movie, but also to see Homer trying to survive basic training. Also i`m looking forward to Kiefer guest starring. It was only a matter of time before he guest starred on the show. The only surprise that it took so long. BTW this will be the second time Homer has been in the armed forces. The first one was when he was in the Naval Reserves and was briefly captain of the nuclear submarine.

It was a fairly amusing episode.

I was dissappointed with the movie trailer. It just wasn't enough...I wanted to see like a long movie trailer. Find out what the movie is about and random clips. Instead, it seemed like Fox just slapped something together.

What kind of episodde was that it had a 7 seven minutes of tom and jerrry filler. I was really dissappointed. I've watch the Simpsons since I was 8 in 1990(I missed the first season) and loved every episode but that sucked. I actually thought about changing the channel. It was not Simpson hummor at all. Its like the writers took a day off and the mail boy had to finish the episode. The trailer was similar with the crane having a mind of its own, but I don't think that is actually in the movie it looked like it was just for a teaser. It was almost family guy like, which is good but in a different way. Don't get me wrong the episode was funny but it wasn't Simpson funny. Man thats this is the first time I was ever dissappointed this much. I actually just now joined this forum just to gripe.

I forgot about that until they mentioned it in the episode.

I thought FINALLY Bart and Milhouse could get back at the bullies working at the shoe store - spoke too soon.

I thought the episode was pretty good and had more obvious political commentary, which is starting to become a trend so far this season. I thought Kiefer was great in the episode. As for the trailer, i thought it was alright, but felt disappointed by it.

The episode was good. I've also noticed the political commentary more and more this season.

I knew something wrong would go with the bullies and Bart and Milhouse

Kiefer was great in the episode.

I know what you guys mean about the trailer, it was a bit disappointing because I thought we would get a full trailer. It just seemed like a teaser for the movie. Hopefully when the movie is approaching they come out with another longer trailer.

I also hope they do that too. Of course i would love to see them have Homer apolgize about Fox teasing us like that before the trailer starts as yet another way to mock Fox.
