I'll have to try this Hulu you mentioned Liz. I was at a Blues game tonight.

Definitely Cyn...most of the episodes are on there

Good episode...of course loved the Homer/Lisa moments towards the end. Fans of them are going to love what Homer did for Lisa. It was just so sweet of Homer.

I just saw the episode on Hulu. That last scene between Homer and Lisa was great. It was reminiscent of the secret message Homer's mom left him in the newspaper.

When I saw the lemonade stand, it was very predictable that someone would try to shut it down due to no business license.

Glad you got to see the episode

I loved the last scene with them. I agree it was reminiscent of Homer's mom leaving him the message.

Hehe yeah I knew they would shut down the lemonade stand

Did you expect that outcome of the crossword tournament? I thought Homer would lose it all in the end because he bet against Lisa. It seemed like the story was going that way.

I wasn't expecting that outcome I thought that Lisa would lose. It did surprise because usually when they do something like that on a TV show they end up losing.
