Yes, but like any Simpsons episode past season six, it wasn't funny.
The Simpsons isn't what it used to be, but it is generally amusing if not totally funny.
I think the fact it has lasted so long and stays pretty good is a testament to Groening, et al.
I am not a Simpsonsophile by any means, but after all the knee-jerk "Write FOX, this is an OUTRAGE" nonsense (sadly, our side of DUmmie FUnnies), I made it a point to actually SEE the eposide.
The folk on that thread should be ashamed of themselves.
