The Computer Wore Menace Shoes

This is one of the weaker episodes I've seen. When I was going through my Simpsons re-education (I guess a better word than binge, since I was playing catch-up on a show I damn well should have been watching all these years). It attracted me for the third-act reference to "The Prisoner", and I do like that Patrick McGoohan was game for an appearance on this show. But a better spoof it could've been.

There are some decent laughs in the lead-up; the computer salesman, the gag on late-nineties Hamster Dance websites (jeez, that was a lifetime ago) and Lisa's hand-wringing over Homer's disregard of the First Amendment. But having him sent to the island for a series of wink-wink references just falls flat.
