Short #44: Bart of the Jungle
A creative way to piss off Homer can be through various means. In this short, the kids go through his closet to play with all his ties and act like they are in a jungle. It works pretty well. There is enough to be consistently funny. Animations are really good for this very late short. A great one to watch.
Score: 8 out of 10
Short #45: Family Therapy
This is one of those shorts that definitely has a Season 1 quality to it. The way the animation and backgrounds look, it has that look that was seen in the very first episodes they produced. (Some Enchanted Evening caused the show to be delayed from September 1989 to January 1990 with the episode airing in May) Getting into this one, the whole family is in for therapy, courtesy of Homer. Strange to think he would do that, but then again, there would be an episode in the first season with therapy.
As far as the writing goes for this one, it's consistent. It's funny. The characters all have good moments individually, and the last 30 seconds is hilarious that it feels like the show. I got nothing but good praise for this one. Very funny.
Score: 9 out of 10
It's come down to this. Next week, the final three shorts. Maggie is in danger, and the TV has signal issues.
