A Fresh Take on Fat Tony, but with a Less Credible Representation than in Classic Seasons of "The Simpsons"

Warning: Spoilers
"The Fat Blue Line" is an episode of "The Simpsons" that, when viewed with my new viewing method, presents a fresh take on the character of Fat Tony, as if it were the first time we see him understood as a kind of Mafia Godfather. This way, the episode's parody humor of the Godfather character is more sympathetic. However, if viewed casually, chronologically, or with the recent memory of previous episodes, it may seem that the character and his associates are treated in a more surreal or less credible way than in the classic seasons.

At least, the episode features an extremely funny scene in which Chief Wiggum and his son are behaving like elephants. This episode, like many of the later seasons, presents a different style of humor and character development than in the golden era, but it still holds some comedic moments. It's important to take into account that the episode may not be as strong as those from the show's peak, but it still worths a watch for the fans of the series.
