Oh, what a hilarious episode this was!!!
16 September 2006 | by (Long Beach, California) – See all my reviews

with: The Regulars (Dan, Julie, Nancy, Yeardley, Hank and Harry) Also with: Maggie Roswell, Phil Hartman, Tress MacNeille, Russi Taylor and Pamela Hayden.

This has to be one of the funniest episodes of the show! As the name says this is just several short stories about various Springfielders. The stories include Apu going to a party, Lisa getting gum in her hair, Dr. Nick's incompitence, Bumblebee Man's day at work, Several Pulp Fiction spoofs with Wiggum, Snake and Herman and many more. This is the best of the several stories per episode genre of the show and in my top ten episode of the show. Hilarious, so go watch it!! My rating: A plus. TV PG V. 23 mins.
