Eric Idle returns as documentary filmmaker Declan Desmond (first seen in "'Scuse Me While I Miss The Sky"), this time to film the life stories of some of Springfield's citizens, but he becomes suspicious when Homer finally makes a success of himself

Sounds like a good episode

Great episode tonight. Glad to see Desmond back. I really love what he did for Homer at the end. Very classy move by him. Plus i really love how the Simpsons duped Desmond by using Mr. Burns` place as their own and of course Mr. Burns returning and then going back to his other place to get the hounds so that he could release them. Overall another excellent episode.

As for the trailer, it was much better than the first one. The only negative is that Fox wasn`t mocked in it.

It was a great episode. Loved how Desmond had filmed all the characters when they were little I loved seeing that

It was great that Homer was using Mr. Burns place And i love that he made Smithers go get the hounds

What Desmond did for Homer at the end was cool

I didn't know that they were going to show a trailer boy was I surprised to see it last night, it was awesome definitely way better than the last one we got.

Poor Lenny - Desmond didn't want to waste any film on him.

I didn't see the first Desmond episode, so I was confused watching the preview. Although, you can kind of tell that the Simpsons would have to somehow get Mr. Burns involved.

How about that dolphin cup holder...

There were two buttons behind Mr. Burns' desk - one was for the hounds, what was the other one?

Definitely liked the trailer - just a mix of different scenes. The scene with the dog sled was in there colorized! I also liked the one where there is a point in Springfield where you can see 4 states that border it. I only caught two - Ohio and Nevada

My favorite "whatever became of" was Abigail. I couldn't remember who Abigail was at first - thought it could be Mrs. Hoover, but she wasn't a lawyer.

I liked this episode. The end was sweet. Loved how Homer sees that his life is pretty great the way it is.

That was my favorite one! My sister first thought it was that lawyer lady from "Marge vs. Singles, Seniors, Childless Couples And Teens, And Gays"

But when they showed her in her apartment with her one cat. I was like, "I bet it's crazy cat lady!" And it was.

Firestar007

Wasn't her name Eleanor?

It was hilarious that she became the Crazy Cat Lady

Grilka

You're correct Liz - it was Eleanor Abernathy. My bad

Firestar007

Poor Eleanor she went for having degrees in Law and Medicine and ended up drinking and starting with one cat and then thought about getting another one and ended up being the Crazy Cat Lady I love that when Desmond had the camera on her she was throwing her Law degree and her cats
