Thursdays With Abie is easily the weakest episodes of The Simpsons in 2 months. But that can't be avoided: the past 3 were classics. This was one was OK, but no classic.
Grandpa is left alone at a swimpark, but a journalist sits down with him. Grandpa tells him about his life story. Soon, Grandpa becomes a celebrity in everyone's eyes excpet Homers. Meanwhile, Bart and Lisa take care of a school stuffed lamb named Larry.
The fact that the journalist wanted to kill Grandpa was intriguing, but there was no real reason behind it. The Larry plotline was also time-filler, not adding anything to the overall story.
Hoever, I did like Homer arguing with himself in the mirror, Homer's first ramble (and Grandpa's expression was nice to boot), Slimo the Octopus, the bumper sitkcer with the production code, Ralph's cloud thought & Chief Wiggum's Sewer Cop story.
The episode as a whole is like the show a few years ago: funny, but nothing too exciting.
Overall: 7.4 out of 10 or B
