I'm not sure if the opening sequence has changed recently. If it hasn't, there is a new one tonight!

I didn't like the opeaning too much here that's me.
I liked the main plot more than the subplot, some funny gags in that one.
Subplot started off ok but than ended horribly.
Over all I give it a 3/5.
I think next weeks episode is a Bart one, YAY!

I hate that song, but I thought the opening was great too. I especially love the way it went directly from that to the group of sad sacks in Moe's.

The subplot didn't work, but we'd did get Ralph and Wendell being used as lecterns, as well as Bart's great line about blond guys being evil.

I really enjoyed the main plot. Lots of great stuff there, including the "17 Hulks and a Spider-Man" picture, Terminator Shary Bobbins and the Sesame Street Gay bar. Also, loved the way Bart found the blind spot.

Oh and the twist at the end was great, too.

I missed the first 5 minutes of the episode so I'm gonna have to find it later, especially now that everyone is talking about the new opening, so I can decide if I like it or not.

My favorite part of the episode was that book Marge gave Lisa about being different that just kind of ended randomly and Lisa was like, "That wasn't a very ambitious book." I agree that the rest of that blonde subplot fell a bit flat though. It was quite an entertaining episode nonetheless.

My favorite bit was how Bart found the blind spot.
Than Maggie thinking that one TV shot is her favorite show. I saw that too, I LOL'd so hard at that part.
Ned was a bit creepy here though.

OMG. Maggie mistaking a gay bar as Sesame Street.

The book was funny, too.

It was a fun episode. Again, loved the opening.

Either I wasn't paying much attention or the episode seemed to fly by. I liked the new Lisa 'do, but her story was ehh.

I was wondering if that was Sherry Bobbins turned Terminator.

Ralph: "I'm a furniture!"

I don't like the Ke$ha song in general but liked the intro. Was the intro similar to the music video?

I liked Lisa's hair style too.
But do hope she returns back to normal.
Though some things don't make sense about that, there whole body is yellow. But we found its really blond hair? Weird. I did like Bart's line about how blond boys are just evil, yah that was funny. But over all, her subplot was useless. I say, they should have just focoused on the main plot more. It was better.

Yeah, I've never quite understood why the Simpson kids are the only ones who don't really have any discernable hairline. I thought Lisa looked awesome with her new 'do but I don't know how it looked completely different since it seemed like all she did was dye it.

Finally saw the opening and I won't say I dislike it but I hope this isn't a permanent thing. It's just disturbing to hear them all sing in that voice. Too bad FOX took it off youtube though.

That was an interesting vote. All who were in favor of the surveillance cameras would say "cheese" while those who opposed them would say "I hate America".

The limited terms vote was a bit icky. Thanks Cletus.
