Episode 12 Season 21 - Boy meets Curl

So, so this was my second episode ever watching the Simpsons (the first being in class that one time) and I have to say I wish it was a better episode. I did not find it very humorous or entertaining at all; maybe I just did not understand the jokes. I am hoping that the next coming episodes are more entertaining.

This episode started out with a theme of "being romantic" in a couple. Homer and Marge are trying to regain their youth by attempting to go on dates and do romantic things. However, they find their new love in the sport of curling and rekindle their marriage that way. They end up joining the USA Olympic team and enter into the 2010 Olympics. Homer becomes sidetracked and cocky with the thought of winning a gold medal and becomes sloppy at throwing the stone. Marge has to pick up his slack with "sweeping" extremely fast and they end up winning the gold medal. This episode has a side plot of Lisa getting addicted to Olympic pins and eventually sells all she has including her pearls, and Bart has to help her overcome her addiction.

I did not find this episode to be humorous at all and I wish ti could have been a bit more funny even though it depicted what is going on today well. After watching it, I scrolled down to the reviews written by others under the video and they stated that "Best episode I've seen in a long time," which i do not understand. Maybe it is because I am not a die heart fan of Simpsons and don't understand exactly what is going on completely yet.

Stay tuned for more of how my abstinence of The Simpsons becomes something more....
