Moaning Lisa Moaning Lisa remains one of my enduring Simpsons favourites because of the episode's humorous but sensitive side that lies at the heart of a lot of Lisa episodes. But this isn't just an episode reserved for Lisa's finer moments, other characters get a chance to shine too. Bart has some of his finest moments in this episode too (particularly his scenes with Homer who's whimpering towards the end of the episode is hilarious.) The music in the episode is also amongst the series best setting off the bluesy mood perfectly with some amazing saxophone playing. Some points of the show are a bi lacking, particularly in the portrayal of some of Lisa's adversaries. Mr. Largo has probably more time on-screen then in any other episode but his character is much more bland in comparison to later episodes. Ralph, the perennial fan favourite also appears for the first time but is similarly lifeless.
Irregrdless, it's the other character's that make this episode work, including the sadly underused Bleeding Gums Murphy.
