User Reviews

Better Than Most Of The Episodes Around This Time

The Simpsons Seemed To Be Back On Track With This One However Nothing Like They Used To Be.

"Send In The Clones" Is Actually Pretty Funny Because You Look At It And Just Worry About The Outcome. The Funniest One Is "The Island Of Dr. Hibbert", The Best Part Is When Homer Is Complaining About How It "Sucks" To Be An Animal "I Can't Believe You People All You Do Is Mate And Eat And Roll Around In Your Own Filth And Mate And Where Do I Sign Up?"

Overall Yes This Is A Good Episode But Not As Good As Its Prime (Seasons 4-10)
